---------------------
Vernon's share will be more than $13,000. This compares to the S.I.R. program where Vernon's share is in excess of $205,000. The average house in 2008 in Vernon will pay $9.67 to deball those little critters of the male persuasion. These MothBalls can be sold for $5.67 a package although the SIR program doesn't appear to have realized this yet as they show no revenue for this valuable product in their financial statements.
