"With a Little Help From His Friends"

---

The article was written about the company Gregory Braendel had created with some of his friends. It is about how he was able to get some of the largest companies to help him manufacture and sell toilet partitions throughout the United States and Canada.

Here are some of the bold excerpts from the article: "It was the unlikeliest of new ventures: an actor with little business experience sets up a company to manufacture toilet partitions. But Greg Braendel is confounding the skeptics, thanks in part to an array of heavy hitters lined up behind him. Why would Fortune 500 suppliers, fancy lawyers -- even a Big Eight accounting firm -- all be willing to help out a start-up so far off the beaten track? -- J.C."

Another excerpt -- Swan: "Greg doesn't have the experience, but he has the capacity to make things happen. I figured we had the chance of a winner here."

Throughout the seven page article were many pictures of Greg's friends who started the company with him and people from the big companies that helped. Mr. Braendel started his company with a ten thousand dollar investment and it was worth ten million within three years!
