A Coast-toCoast Tour to Celebrate 70 years, to Thank Our Clients and Support Our Troops

In celebration of 70 years of financial services, Waddell & Reed is offering up some of its most impressive numbers yet: We’re putting the Home Office on 18 wheels and traversing 30,000 miles over the next 12 months to visit 70 cities – all to say “thank you” to our clients, communities and family of financial advisors who have been a significant part of seven decades of growth. Throughout 2007, we look forward to taking to the open road and crossing paths with others as we share this truly unique experience from coast to coast.

And, as a strong supporter of our troops overseas, Waddell & Reed is joining each community on the 70th anniversary tour in giving something back to the men and women serving our nation. Through “Operation USO Care Package,” and in conjunction with the USO, Waddell & Reed and its national team of financial advisors will be donating special care packages to our military overseas. At each tour stop, the general public also will have an opportunity to contribute.

Over Seventy Years of Ice Cream!

Chester and Roy Bridgeman opened their first ice cream store in 1935. The venture was met with disbelief. Why would anyone try to sell ice cream in Minnesota? The climate wasn’t right! What about the depression? Chester and Roy heard the skeptics. But, the brothers didn’t listen. They knew if they made an exceptional ice cream people would buy it. And they were right!

Since 1935, Bridgeman’s reputation for delicious, high quality ice cream has never changed. Our trademark award winning ice cream made with only fresh cream and milk, real flavoring, mixed with big chunks of real fruit, nuts and fudge pieces. Bridgeman’s Ice Cream, Always Exceptionally Good!

Enjoy a “Taste” of Bridgeman’s newest flavor, Chocolate Caramel Treasure, at any of the three Bridgeman’s Ice Cream booths!
