EDITOR-NOTE:

This month's money-saving ideas were contributed by members of the Smaller Business Association of New England (SBANE). If you belong to an association, perhaps you'd like to get together and brainstorm for Buckstopper ideas. Write us and we'll send you as many Buckstopper cards as your group needs.

Any contributor whose idea we publish will receive an INC. Buckstopper moneyclip. Individual readers-should simply fill in the postage-paid card bound into the magazine on page 94.
