Down here in Oz, a bloke called Jim started a lawn mowing franchise, with
all the franchise's using a trailer painted green with Jim's mug painted on
the side. This soon grew into a dog wash service, with a similar trailer.
Today, we got a call from Jim's home security service, who quite hapily told
us about other Jim's franchises.
First, Jim's home loan service. They buy the house, and you pay them back
with interest (of course). Whilst they don't have a Jim's real estate yet
(Comming I'm told), they do have all the other esentials to maintaining your
home. Jim's cleaning, Jim's carpet cleaning, Jim's parquetry (Floor board
laying and polishing), Jim's handy man service, etc.
With Jim's financial services helping the franchisie's with their bookwork
no doubt.
Off course, everything works off of the one phone number. (No doubt Jim's
phone answering service).

Oh, if you got a bad T.V. picture, then call Jim's antenae service :o)
