THE 2000 FALL NEWSLETTER -- Issue 24 The Chairman's Corner Dear GADCO Customers, We appreciate your interest in our company and are looking forward to mailing our regular newsletters and catalogs out to you later this year. At this time all of the designer dolls shown on our website have completely SOLD OUT. (Most of the dolls completely SOLD OUT within a few short months after their introduction!) We are working on new doll designs now and will be writing to you just as soon as we are ready to ship them. As you may know, GADCO dolls are the highest quality dolls in the world. Due to this fact, these dolls take much longer than other dolls to develop and manufacture due to the high quality standards the company has been famous for establishing (since 1984). Thank you very much for your understanding and patience. From GADCO with love, Michael R. Lam Co-Founder Chairman The Great American Doll Company From the Desk of the Chairman, Fredericka Lam . . . We have some great news to share with you: Babies! Extremely Limited Editions and "Royal" babies (see the fascinating story of their "royal" pedigree and certification below. Good taste, quality and rarity in dolls and fine wines makes all the difference in the world!) Shipping begins August 23. John-John was a tough one to produce accurately and took most of the past year to make perfect. Several of our staff came through US customs in Los Angeles recently with a giant production of John-John's wigs and the most amazing thing happened. The US Customs Officer, a beautiful woman in her 50s, looked in the box where the John-John head was packaged and said, "Wow! That's John-John under JFK's desk! I have that photograph embedded solidly in my mind and that's him." We knew right then that John-John was finished, that he wouldn't need further reworks or fine-tuning, that he was perfect! The Customs Officer, after seeing John-John, treated everyone of our people like visiting dignitaries, whisking everyone through customs without further ado or a moment's delay. What an experience! Talking about Customs! There is yet one other thing to share with you about U.S. Customs. From this year, we've arranged to have Customs "watch" at all U.S ports of entry for any vinyl, porcelain, or resin copies of any of our copyrighted designs. This means that they will confiscate any "pirated" designs to protect us and you against rip-offs. It is sad that so many competitors so lack in creativity that they resort to copying us. We are anticipating that first call from U.S. Customs advising us of their seizing several 40 feet containers loaded with our designs but imported under someone else's label. We are going to great efforts to protect our GADCO Brand Name and GADCO designs from those who profit from our blood, sweat and tears. Watch your local newspapers and major TV stations for the legal convictions and arrests scheduled before the Holiday Season. (See "Reward" section, below.) September Surprises Next month is a very big month for even more GADCO surprises! So keep watching your mailbox, our website www.greatamericandolls.com, your doll magazines, and news papers for more exciting GADCO news. It's all for you! From GADCO with Love!
