Press Release Summary: As a bookkeeper, Joan Miller knows the numbers don't lie.

Press Release Body: VANCOUVER, COQUITLAM, VICTORIA, AND OKANAGAN, BC...
Yet as she celebrates her fifth anniversary with DirectBuy of Vancouver, the leading
members-only showroom and home design center that offers merchandise at
manufacturer-direct prices, even she's in disbelief.

"The five years has really gone by fast, but that's what happens when you enjoy what
you do and the people you do it with," said Miller, a Delta resident. "The best part
about this job is you're always learning something."

A Delta resident and mother of three grown children, Miller worked for CDI Corporate
Education and holds a bookkeeping certificate from CompuCollege.

"We took over ownership of DirectBuy of Vancouver about a year ago. Trust me, in
that scenario, you want as many experienced folks on board as you can have. Joan is
a pro's pro and we hope to have her as part of our DirectBuy family for years to
come," said Jade Allen, owner of DirectBuy of Vancouver.

Since 1971, DirectBuy franchises have offered members the opportunity to enjoy
enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and
outdoor products and accessories by buying wholesale, directly from the
manufacturer. With four convenient locations in the greater Vancouver area
(Victoria, Vancouver, Coquitlam, and Kelowna), consumers can enjoy a comfortable,
country-club setting, where they finally have the financial control of buying
direct.
