"WE RECOMMEND NOT PURCHASING ON THE INTERNET! We have received many calls from frantic brides asking us for our help
because a gown they ordered over the Internet was not an authentic Maggie Sottero gown, was the wrong color, was damaged or was
the wrong size. Buying gowns on the Internet for a discount is a gamble. In every case each bride wished they had bought the gown
from a retailer. They would have saved a lot of heartache and money in the long run. Maggie Sottero supports full service brick
and mortar bridal salons because we know they will provide you with the service you deserve." Go to the the site and click on "Internet Sales".

| The Louis Vuitton Story
"Vuitton employs agents who comb the world looking for counterfeiters' factories and export operations, and then report these
sites to local authorities. "Almost every month, we get a government somewhere in the world to destroy canvas, or finished
products," says Carcelle. Late last year, Vuitton scored a coup in the United States: it helped the U.S. Customs Service
seize 100,000 Vuitton fakes that were being imported from South Korea." www.cigaraficionado.com/Cigar/Aficionado/
