D&S CAR WASH EQUIPMENT CO.

D&S Car Wash Equipment Co. introduces a new traffic light for its line of automatic carwash bays. The new Stop-Go & Back-Up Lights feature all-welded stainless steel construction and high impact lenses for brightness, quality and durability. The Stop-Go & Back-Up Light is designed to inform customers by flashing green when to safely enter the automatic bay and to Stop once they are securely positioned in the In-Position Treadle. The Stop light remains during the entire carwash process, until the wash is finished and it is safe to exit the bay. If the customer drives in too far or pulls over the treadle, a third light will flash, informing the customer that they need to back up and retry to position their vehicle correctly. The Stop-Go & Back-Up Light will flash until the customer is secure in the bay. The new light can also be used as a Stop-Go & Exit Light.

HERR FOODS

For all those who have ever feverishly torn through a bag of chips, searching for those rare, bittersweet, dark-colored gems, Herr's introduces Russet Kettle Cooked Potato Chips. Made with russet potatoes, the tasty morsels are now available by the bagful. Herr Foods selects the finest russet potatoes - chosen for their uniform color after chilling - that have been cooled to temperatures between 46 and 48 degrees. To create the old-fashioned, kettle-cooked style, the potatoes are then cooked in small batches with pure vegetable oil. The result is a thicker, crispier chip. Herr's Russet Kettle Cooked Potato Chips join an already popular kettle-cooked line that includes Philly cheesesteak, buffalo wing and boardwalk salt and vinegar. Russet Kettle Cooked Potato Chips are available in 2.125-oz. and 9-oz. bags and retail for 99¢ and $2.89, respectively.
