Lawrence merchants expect large crowds
By Kelley Frieze
Downtown Lawrence is gearing up for tomorrow's annual salewalk.
The sale is an all-day event that draws crowds from Lawrence, the Kansas City area, Topeka and surro-

Most of the sale clothes at Harper's will be summer styles.
"We do so much business on Thursday that we can't handle any more," he said. "It's far and away the best day of the week, but even better than the week before Christmas for us."
Employees at The Palace, a greeting card store at Eighth and Massachusetts streets, agreed.
"Last year when we were putting things out, people were grabbing them as we put them out," said Susan Gunther, a Palace salesclerk.
Carole Morgan, another Palace clerk, said, "It's a pretty fun day. There's kind of a carnival atmosphere."
The sale items at The Palace are things that have not sold well or that have been sent from the Palace in Kansas City, Mo., she said.
Non-profit organizations also will set up booths downtown.
Lawrence Indian Women Sports will sell Indian tacos and squaw dogs, which are hot dogs rolled in fry oil. The owner, a member of the organization,
The Plymouth Handbell Ringers of Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St., will sell lemonade, ice tea and lemon water, said Bar Cohen, the sugar匠. The group also will have cookie cookies and cookbooks available.

Two KU grads start new business
By Eric Swanson
"We know we're going to succeed," said Carney, the corporation's vice president in charge of sales. "All we needed were some business cards, a P.O. box, some telephones, a fax machine and a little specialized knowledge, and we were on our way."
Two KU alumni last summer to start a new business to assist trade between U.S. and Latin American businesses.
Carney said that when the two wore juniors, they started planning to
The International Trade Group, which opened January 1991, is the creation of Christopher Carney and from the University of Kansas in 1990.
"We came to the conclusion that the international marketplace was just waiting to be exploited," Carney said. "We had put ourselves through
college by running our own businesses, as we figured we'd be able to do it.

While in college, Carney was the president of a paint company and Elder was co-owner of a Lawrence sportswear company.
Elder, who has owned other corporations, contributed his expertise to the new business, while Sosa had Paraguayan contacts.
The two decided they could not launch their new business alone, so they asked Frederick Elder. Jusson's suggestion was to join the coalition. Paraguay, senior, to join them.
Since January, the International Trade Group has established offices in Prairie Village, Madison, Wis., Miami and Asunción. The company's
Carney said the business required an initial investment of $15,000. The partners decided to make Paraguay their first target area because it had a free river port and was surrounded by other countries.
home office is in Madison.
Soon after opening, the International Trade Group attracted the attention of the Joseph Huber Brewing Company in Chicago.
Jack Mahoney, marketing director for the brewing company, said he started negotiating with the Internationally Acclaimed Brewery. A contract was drawn up in April.
Mahoney said that the corporation had exported about 10,000 cases of the brewing company's beer so far to Guyanamayan buyers had requested more.
"They've opened up South America for us," he said. "We'll probably let them represent us in other countries around the world."
The company also has drawn up a contract with Cerveericea Modelo Brewery, the Mexican brewery that produces Corona beer and now is seeking an investment between Borden Inc. and the Paraguayan Trading Company.
