...some 3,600 people in northern Iowa, seem just like buildings anywhere else in small-town America. Only a close look reveals the difference. Examine, for example, the new insulated roof on the local hospital that shaves utility bills 20%. Or venture into the basement of Steele's Super Valu grocery to see the wall that owner Everett Steele built around his cooling compressors to capture heat, which is then pumped into the store. Osage's model conservation program saved the town an estimated $1.2 million in energy costs in 1988 and made a modest but worthwhile contribution toward slowing...
...afternoon study in Washington's extremes, how about this: Head up to Valu Village on 14th St. N.E. near the Maryland border, in a neighborhood that usually is--and for good reason--deserted after dark. It still offers real bargains, unlike Keezer's. Recently, Brooks Brothers shirts were 15 cents, cashmere sweaters 35 cents, and most overcoats $1.95.

Winter of Wesleyan University argue that the seeds of entrepreneurship can be planted with almost...
Harris, 61, got into the business by chance. Curious in 1950 about the valu able samples a friend received through the mail, Harris wrote to 100 companies for free samples. He got back 82, including a twelve-can carton of tooth powder and a soda-fountain dispenser of headache powder. Harris conceived a toiletries pack, sold the idea to hotels as a convenience for guests. He eventually signed up 4,000 hotels, sold more to banks looking for new-account come-ons, others to airlines (which give the packs to grounded passengers). The Guest Pac Corp. also sells packs...
