VERNOR'S GINGER ALE
by Keith Wunderlich
$19.99
Paperback ~ To be released April 9, 2008
From a small drugstore in Detroit to a product enjoyed across
America and Canada, Vernor’s is a success story.
Vernor’s is the story of a small back-room product turned into a
highly successful brand. At over 140 years old, Vernor’s is
America’s oldest continuously produced soft drink.
Vernor’s Ginger Ale takes readers on a journey from
pharmacy to factory, from entrepreneur to franchised corporation.

He is the founder of the Vernor’s Ginger Ale Collectors’ Club

HOTTEST RINGTONE FOR 2008?
40-YEAR OLD 'GO GET 'EM TIGERS'
Article excerpt from Mark Newman / MLB.com
The hottest ringtone at MLB.com is not by a current Top-40 artist,
but instead was written nearly four decades ago and oozes the
same kind of feel-good tradition as the old-English "D"
on the Tigers' home uniforms.
DOWNLOAD: MLB.com Mobile
Artie Fields, now 85, was creating advertising music in Detroit
for many clients back in 1967 when an ad exec approached him about writing
a catchy tune for a local bank promotion. The city was giddy
then over a team that wound up falling one game shy of a World Series
appearance and wound up winning it all the next year.
