Some
old, some new . . . we rarely keep tract.
[Only
of the nice things people say, of course]
But, then again, Compoz-A-Puzzle®
speaks for itself!
Of course,
these comments are from sources deemed to be media folk. The real
comments come from consumers, ya know, the people who do the
down and dirty, the teachers who analyze how Compoz-A-Puzzle®
products can help the learning disabled in an educational environment, the
crafters who use their talents to espouse creativity and talent, the graphic
artists who design their very own proprietary lines of greeting cards, the
senior citizen centers that keep their geriatric residents happy and busy . . .
at the same time, artists who bring out the image that lurks in the background
of every blank jigsaw puzzle and grandparents who just want to keep some
puzzles, on hand, for the kids to play with when they visit. Now stop wasting
your time. Go and buy something . . . Just do it!

Best Children's Vacation
Product Award for 1999
Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D.
says . . .
"A terrific blank, sturdy cardboard jigsaw puzzle forms to porvide your child with an
innovative creative opportunity. The child can paint them, use sponge art, felt tip
markers, rubber stamps, stencils and crayons, decorate them and then mail them to friends
or relatives. They make wonderful party invitations or an opportunity for saying thank
you. It develops the child creativity, motor coordination and helps their attention span.
The 5.5" x 8" puzzle is a very
reasonable cost and provides many hours of fun. This is a great product to take along on a
trip. A child can make pictures as they go along and send them to friends and family as
memories of their travel." |

"Compoz-A-Puzzle
introduced Puzzle Clonzz™, a pack that looks like ordinary laser printer paper -- until you look
close. Each lightweight sheet is really a blank jigsaw puzzle. Imprint whatever you want
(family photos, invitations, word games) and run it through the printer. Then break the
puzzle into 40 pieces and send it to a friend. This could be a funny break-the-ice game
for guild meetings."

"For every product, there's a use; with that in mind, here's a new product perfect
for your what-will-they-think-of-next files. Compoz-A-Puzzle Inc. has
created Puzzle Clonzz™ -- the 'only preassembled, intact, lightweight
(.010), blank jigsaw
puzzles.' The puzzle sheets are compatible with standard software programs and 'manual
feed' or 'straight path' laser printers. Although they're probably not appropriate for
business letters, I'm sure there are a lot of other messages that can be relayed by
popping the puzzle apart and stuffing them in an envelope." |

"So you went out and got your PC a printer, but you hardly use the peripheral for
more than running a hard copy or two of a word processing document. What about all the
cool things you thought you'd do with this devise? Well, we have something that will liven
up anything you want to output.
With Puzzle Clonzz™,
computer printable jigsaw puzzles from Compoz-A-Puzzle, anything you
print automatically becomes a 40-piece puzzle. They make great activities for the kids,
and they're especially clever as invitations. Just print the invitation, break it apart,
and drop it in the envelope. At least you'll know only the guests with enough patience and
wit to assemble a puzzle will show up at you shindig!
. . . The Puzzle Clonzz™
paper is necessarily thin -- a normal printer wouldn't be able to handle standard
thickness puzzles -- but it's solid enough to be stable and light enough to maill
cheaply."
