******************* • • The Family Of • • AL ROSENBERG: Elite employs 3,000 workers in 12 factories and currently exports $6 million in candies, chocolates, wafers and Passover products to the United States under its own and other labels. Elite, like other Israeli com- panies, has used American marketing professionals. "But we believe that Israel- America Importing, with its nationwide connections and vast experience, will provide us with a new stage in our ex- port development," says Elite export manager Michael Carmeli. According to Amnon Barak, the Israeli general manager of Israel-America Importing, these expectations are not unrealistic. Indeed, he believes, the Israeli par- ticipants in this unique marketing enterprise can ex- pect to treble their current exports. "Some companies, like Osem and Elite, have been ex- porting to the United States for 25 years. Others, like Yarden, which produces delicatessen products, and Tapud, which makes onion rings, are quite new in the field," he says. "But they all realize that the huge American market is quite different from Israel or from Europe. Marketing, distribution, advertising, public relations, logistics — even the way of doing business. All these aspects have a unique style in the United States." For any of the Israeli com- panies to operate effectively and to gain national recogni- tion under their own names would involve prohibitive ex- penses. "But together, using sophisticated American marketing specialists, they can hope to achieve far more," says Barak, himself a marketing specialist who recently spent three years in the United States. Israeli companies that are involved in the project have all fulfilled rigorous criteria for reliability, top-class mer- chandise and established quality control of products (which also include frozen fish and vegetables, spices, tea, pantyhose and cosmetics). Amnon Barak insists that the 15 participating com- panies do not represent a comprehensive list of those Israeli companies whose mer- chandise can find a place in the American sun. "This is just a start," he says. "I am certain that once the venture takes off — and I expect that to happen within a few months — there will be many other companies which will join us." ♦ GIVES THANKS TO EVERYONE t t FOR THEIR THOUGHTFULNESS A • .

'til 9:00 Arthritis Can Mean A Lifetime Of Pain Arthritis cripples the joints and posture of millions of Americans and brings pain into sharp focus. It rarely kills, but its victims suffer. The slowly creeping disease starts with occasional twinges of pain and joint stiffness. Though a person may notice this, many just shrug it off to not being as young as they used to be. Often enough, the victims are not old at all. This disease is the foremost crippler and causes more despair, suffering, and economic strain than the so-called "killer" diseases. DR. LEVINE Degenerative arthritis is the type most commonly associated with older people and always gets worse without effective treatment. When movement of the body is necessary — in the knees, wrists, hip, shoulder — joint oil lubricates the moving parts and allows them to move smoothly. Connective tissue — ligaments, cartilage, and tendons — hold these joints tightly in place. When these systems are working properly, a person enjoys a full scope of painless motion. As the condition worsens, the muscles and connective tissue wastes away and the patient becomes sickly, loses weight, and feels tired. The first important-step in treatment of arthritis is correct diagnosis. The symptoms of arthritis are much like sciatica, lumbago and neuritis. Most people just think that once it starts, there's no way to stop it, and hope they aren't one of the unlucky ones. If you are confused about your symptoms and think you may have sciatica, neuritis, or arthritis, why not seek a thorough Chiropractic examination.
