ATTENTION BUSINESS CUSTOMERS…
————————————
Are you looking for a low cost opportunity to make your business stand out from the competi-
tion? How about an ad in the yellow or white pages of the local telephone directory, VIKINGLAND
REGIONAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY. For a low monthly cost, you can have a bold listing in the
white or yellow pages. Or, you can put a boxed ad with your own logo. Or, how about a color ad to
catch the eye of the people paging through the book? The salespeople are working in our service
area now and would be willing to help plan an ad for you. If you are interested in having a sales rep
contact you, please call our office at 320-986-2013. We will have one contact you and arrange a
convenient time to plan this opportunity for you.
PLEASE CHECK YOUR CURRENT LISTING IN OUR PHONE BOOK!
If you would like to change what you currently have, please complete this form and return to our

dress if it’s different than the 911 address. We are not required to provide a mailing address for
our telephone customers. We are working on updating the information for the 2009 phone book.
