Royce Garner is this Week's Buy Idaho Member of the Week at KIDO 580 AM

This week's guest on KIDO Radio is Royce Garner, the creator of Toe Juice. In 1970 Royce Garner, a high school chemistry teacher in Boise, Idaho, produced his first batch of Toe Juice. His endeavor began when his infant son had flaking, dry, cracked feet.

The many lotions, creams, and medicines were ineffective in solving the problem. So Royce did some research, went to his lab, and came out with a revolutionary new product. Not only did it fix and prevent further complications with his son’s feet, but over the next 37 years many friends, family, and acquaintances have benefited from the strength of Royce’s Toe Juice.

Toe Juice is a fast drying liquid, which refreshes, soothes, and softens dry cracked feet, in addition to stop itching, burning, and annoying irritations. Toe Juice effectively treats most skin problems in just a few treatments.

Every second and fourth Wednesday at 8:55 a.m. KIDO Radio hosts Dave Burnett and Bryon Norton interview a Buy Idaho member about their business. The interview is an informal question and answer session about the member's business, the products or services they provide contact information, such as address, phone numbers and web site address. The interview is designed to help Buy Idaho members sell more.

2008 U.S. Government Stimulus Payments

News Release:

Re: 2008 U.S. Government Stimulus payments

Buy Idaho encourages all Idahoans to Buy Idaho with their rebate checks from the U.S. Government Stimulus pay outs to arrive soon.

"The purpose is to stimulate the American economy", said Dale Peterson, Executive Director, "not the economy of foreign countries selling goods and services in the U.S." Peterson continued, "When you Buy American, and Buy Idaho you will usually have a better product, often at a lesser cost, with a warranty/guarantee backed by someone you can contact. Buying Idaho, and Buying American helps your fellow Idaho and American citizens to thrive in business."

The stimulus package was passed by Congress to stimulate the American economy, but if those dollars are spent on foreign goods, we stimulate foreign economies, with American dollars, further depressing our own.

To learn more about Idaho Products, visit the Buy Idaho Showroom, at 404 South 8th in Boise, in the 8th Street Marketplace; or check our over 1,000 members online at www.buyidaho.org.

Buy Idaho is a non-profit, non tax supported association of Idaho Business and Industry promoting the sale of Idaho products and services.

Governor C. L. "Butch" Otter, co-founder of Buy Idaho in 1986 said "The Buy Idaho message is simple but profound; doing business with the family helps us all. Keeping dollars here at home contributes to our economic growth. It helps pay for the schools, services and infrastructure we all need to compete in the global marketplace. It just makes good sense to Buy Idaho. Please join me in supporting our great businesses and people by remembering to Buy Idaho!"

If you would like to help promote the concepts of building the Idaho and American economy, join Buy Idaho on line at www.buyidaho.org; call 343-2582, or visit our office/showroom in the 8th Street Marketplace, downtown Boise.
