I did, carelessly AFTER I posted the bottem half of the flyer, sorry
about that.  The number is disconnected without forwarding.  I'm more
curious now than when I was handed the sheet.  I may be able to find out 
what it's about with an old reverse directory.  The prefix, of course,
tells you which 1991 reverse directory to research.

I'm SURE he meant GROUND bones, which is in ALL cat/dog food as a vital
ingrediant.  Meat is actually not sufficient for these carnivores; add
at least shredded cooked greens and grains to the mush.
(Meatloaf, for example, is a hell of a lot better for you and your
pet carnivores than pure hamburger.)

It's said that some butchers will give you several pounds of free
"saw dust," that is, a mix of bone/meat that fell off the bone saw.
