Tell Us About Your Favorite Tool

Tue., Jan. 10, 1995

We’re looking for love stories about people and their tools.

All of us use tools of one kind or another to help us work and to help us play. And sometimes, over the years, we develop deep attachments to them, whether it’s a surgeon’s scalpel, a symphony soloist’s trumpet or a trucker’s rig.

If you’d like to tell us about that special tool in your life, call Cityline at (509) 458-8800 in Spokane or (208) 765-8811 in Coeur d’Alene. (You must have a push-button telephone; the call is free except for any long-distance charges that might apply.) Enter category 9897, leave a brief message, and we’ll get back to you. Or write to Tools, c/o IN Life, The Spokesman-Review, P.O. Box 2160, Spokane WA 99210.

And if any of you tools want to call to talk about your owners, well, that’s OK, too.
