Christmas Business Panhandles on Streetcorner in Effort to Raise Operating Capital to Make it Through Summer
By: PRWEB
Great American Collectibles uses highly unusual method to raise operating capital. Owner vows to close the business rather than move operations to China.
Aurora, OR (PRWEB) June 14, 2004 -- While most companies in need of operating capital tend to use banks or other traditional means of raising funds, Great American® Collectibles (http://www.gr8american.com) has decided to take its request to the streets, literally.

In January, 2001, Dan Sherman was selling enterprise software to Fortune 500 companies. Then, an interesting string of unlikely events led him to start Great American® Collectibles. “My wife, Allison, and I were collectors of a line of carved, resin, folk art Old World Santas made by a company in North Carolina.
