(Continued from page 9) modification of our lines of merchandise and strong improvement in customer service will make the difference for HomeClub.

Difficult economic times, slowing housing starts and concerns about a possible recession will force the current home owner to stay in their present home. Past experience shows that they will in turn fix-up, add-on and dramatically modify their dwellings. They may eliminate the middleman (the professional), opting to do it for themselves.

In non-building materials and lumber categories, our continuing softening of the mix of merchandise that we offer will enhance the total do-it-yourself shopper (men and women) making HomeClub truly a destination shopping experience.

In summary, most companies view themselves against last year. Being a very new company, only four years old, we are confident that the best years are yet to come and are not concerned with what took place in the past, but rather with what opportunities there are in the future.

We feel strongly that HomeClub is well positioned to deal with the opportunities no matter what the economic climate really turns out to be.

Home Depot Protests

Home Depot Inc. has filed suit in federal court in Atlanta. Ga.. claiming that Oflice Depot, an office supply warehouse company, has copied the home center warehouse chain's name, advertising and store design.

Office Depot, based in Boca Raton, Fl., was founded last year by the late F. Patrick Sher. It has seven stores. all located near Home Depot stores, according to a Home Depot spokesman.
