          Mazuri Ferret Rescue/Shelter Program
                  Purina Mills, LLC
                   St. Louis, MO
 
THREE WAYS TO "FERRET OUT" THE SAVINGS and make income for your shelter!!
Choose one or choose all.
 
1. Do you use our 5M08 Mazuri Ferret Diet???
 
   SAVE 20% on 5M08 Mazuri Ferret Diet in 25 lb. bags
 
   With the use of a special purchasing number (PE), you will receive 20%
   off the cost of each bag with a minimum purchase of 5 bags.
 
   Each bag of Mazuri Ferret Diet currently retails for approximately
   $23.00 per bag.  A discount of 20% will save you around $4.00 per bag.
 
2. SAVE WHEN YOU ADOPT....and help the adopter save....
 
   When you adopt a ferret, if you will supply us with the name of the
   adopter and the address, we will do two things;
 
   Send the adopter a packet of information on Mazuri Ferret diet as
   well as a coupon for purchasing the product.  This will help keep
   the ferrets you adopt on an approved ferret diet.
 
   For every 10 names you send to us, we will send YOU a coupon for
   $3.00 off a bag of Mazuri Ferret Diet.
 
3. RETAIL the product.
 
   One of the ways that you can help your rescue/shelter is to sell
   Mazuri Ferret diets.  We will give you a special price on the cost of
   the Mazuri Ferret Diet in 6 lb. jugs.  Sell these to adopters when
   they adopt and make a few bucks for the cause.  Here is what the
   income picture might look like;
 
   Buy the jugs @ $9.50 each and sell for $13.89 (this is current
   suggested retail)
 
   You will make $4.39 on each jug.  Even if you wanted to discount the
   jugs, you can still do so and make a profit.  (Sell at $12.50, make
   $3.00, it is up to you)
 
   This is also a good way for you to keep in contact with those that
   adopt and you will know the ferrets stay on a good diet.
 
USE THE INCOME FROM THE PROGRAM ANY WAY YOU LIKE; to treat sick ferrets,
provide for routine veterinary care, develop educational programs and
literature, etc.
