The Mobile Merchant

For those who have been unsuccessful in establishing a      
merchant account to accept credit card charges, there is    
a new service offered by American Card Corporation.         
Artists, crafters and other home-business owners are        
offered a completely portable credit care processing        
system that requires no phone line or power source, yet     
obtains card approval and generates a printed two-copy      
receipt within 45 seconds of swiping the care.  Other       
systems are available for those who do have access to       
phone line or external power, but all of them are           
expensive, with lease options of from $76-$141 per month.   

Contact American Card Corporation at 3303 Harbor Blvd.,     
Suite B6, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 for information.
