To Whom It May Concern:

James River Press is one of the charter members of James River Trade Exchange, joining in October 2003. Since that date, we have been able to improve our business from both a sales and spending perspective through our relationship with JRTE and its exchange members.

From a sales perspective, James River Trade Exchange has given us the opportunity to earn thousands of dollars of additional income that may not have been generated otherwise. By printing various materials for James River Trade members, we have been able to build a trade credit that we use as a supplemental purchasing power to cash.

This additional purchasing power has allowed James River Press to obtain services including vehicle repair, landscaping, cleaning services, and telephone system installation and repair. These expenditures would have required a sizable cash investment that we have been able to put to other uses.

We have freed up thousands of dollars by adding a trade component to our budget, which has allowed James River Press to function more efficiently. I recommend James River Trade Exchange to any business owner that is looking for a creative way to save money and increase their sales.

Sincerely,

Brooke B. Rhodes, Owner
James River Press
