What is the address or phone number of the "foo" company?
Try the white and yellow pages of your phone directory, first; a
sales representative will surely know, and if you're a potential
customer they will be who you're looking for. Phone books for
other cities are usually available in libraries of any size.
Whoever buys or recommends things for your company will probably
have some buyer's guides or national company directories. Call or
visit the reference desk of your library; they have several
company and organization directories and many will answer
questions like this over the phone. Remember if you only know
the city where the company is, you can telephone to find out
their full address or a dealer. Calls to 1-800-555-1212 will
reveal if the company has an "800" number you can call for
information. The network is NOT a free resource, although it may
look like that to some people. It is far better to spend a few
minutes of your own time researching an answer rather than
broadcast your laziness and/or ineptitude to the net.
