I need to find any articles or advertisements of a business I owned
from 1979 -1983 called Surefoot, sometimes reffered to as Scott
Brooksbanks Surefoot.  The business sold ski boots and orthotics in
Vail, CO, Snowbird and Park City, UT

Hello there,

Just to clarify, are you looking for articles and other material ONLY
from the 1979-1983 period?  Or do you want any material, regardless of
when it ran?

siera124,

 I just spent several hours looking through microfiche records of the
"Park Record" from 1979-1983, and could find absolutely no
advertisements or articles for Surefoot. I am even looked through the
help-wanted to see if there were any listing for employees. Nothing.
 If there are no listings in the local paper, do you have any idea
where those advertisements may have been? I am assuming that the
business was sold, or taken over by new owners who used the old name
without permission. Is that right?

siera,
 I am willing to look through Salt Lake Tribune and Deseret News
archives if you believe there may be advertisements there. Please let
me know. However, unless you are reasonable sure you posted
advertisements in either of those papers, it would be a large task.
Please respond if you are still interested. If I found copies, I could
print them and have you contact a librarian to have them sent to you.

siera,
 Could you please tell me where you think you might have advertised?
The local paper in Park City is the Park Record. Would you have put
advertisments in there, or in the Salt Lake Tribune?

Clarification of Question by siera124-ga on 12 Sep 2003 08:14 PDT
The ads were on radio, in a paper called the Canyon Times, and Sports
Guide.  It if for the periond 1979-1983 only.

siera,

 I have located one copy of a Surefoot advertisement from May 1983
with the name of Scott Burbanks on the logo. I highly doubt that I
will find any others. As for radio ads, you would have to know the
stations you advertised with, and the station would in turn have to
keep written copy.
 It is very important that you tell me if you would be interested in a
copy of this ONE advertisement as an answer to your question. If so, I
will go ahead and post the details along with the arrangement I have
made for third party contact so you can obtain a copy of the
advertisement.
 Researchers are prohitited form personal contact, so once you give me
the go-ahead to post the information as an answer, I will provide the
information for contact puposes. I will be
 Please do not post your personal e-mail or phone number in the
response!

 Let me know as your question is set to expire soon.

Siera,
 If you are still seeing these clarifications, please at least give me
a yes or no answer. You may reduce the price if the question
accordingly if you want. However, after having a copy of your
advertisement on my desk, I would like to get it to you if you want
it.

Greetings Siera124:

I located a 1982 reference at
http://www.inc.com/magazine/20001015/20731.html (about halfway down
the page) but your name is not referenced, only Bob Shay and RightFit.

Another Shay reference to around 1982/1983
http://www.skimag.com/skimag/buyers_guide/article/0,12795,326416,00.html

I also performed a search at Lexis Nexis and found 8 items for "Scott
Brooksbanks" but none seemed to be a ski or orthotics reference.  I
hope another Researcher will be able to locate more for you.

Best regards,
journalist-ga
