WORLD WIDE STONE CORPORATION

May 1, 2002:   World Wide Stone adds punch to Durango Stone™ brand identity in new Web site.

World Wide Stone Corporation™, a leading international quarrier and producer of natural stone products, has a new look and a newly upgraded Web site: www.durangostone.com.  The Web site reinforces World Wide Stone's™ leadership as the exclusive producer of authentic Durango Stone™ travertine.  "The new Web site is an interactive showcase that allows designers, architects and other customers the opportunity to see the many colors and finishes available in Durango Stone™," said World Wide Stone founder Frank Cunningham.  "World Wide Stone™ is the creator and quarrier producer of Durango Stone™ and is the only source in the world for true Durango Stone™."

Phoenix-based World Wide Stone™ is the sole owner of quarrying operations and three state-of-the-art production factories in Durango, Mexico.  "World Wide Stone™ supplies its natural stone products to distributors, dealers, contractors, developers, architects and designers throughout North America and Europe," Cunningham said.  The Web site also includes photos showcasing natural stone in home and business applications, such as swimming pools, patios, interiors, stairs and artistic architectural designs.  "Designers love the old look of tumbled stone," he said. "New buildings and features that contain ancient elements provide a balance that is both earthy and sensual." Durango stone is available in both ancient and antique finishes in colors ranging from natural off-white to negro.

January 31, 2002:   NSQ Direct Opens First Store In Scottsdale Airpark

Hot, hot, hot is the closest description of a new concept in retail sales offered by NSQ Direct in Scottsdale.   "We've eliminated all the middlemen: the wholesaler, the distributor and the retailer, to bring the finest in quality stone products from the quarry, directly to the consumer," said Frank Cunningham, Managing Partner of NSQ Direct.  The first retail outlet of NSQ Direct is located at 14825 N. 82nd Street in the Scottsdale Airpark.  NSQ Direct provides a direct link for the consumer who is in the market for Grade A natural stone such as the finest Mexican Travertine, Turkish Travertine, Indian Slate, and other designer stone products directly from their sources.  The letters "NSQ" stand for Natural Stone Quarry. "Direct" means direct from the source to the consumer because NSQ Direct is a retail concept that effectively eliminates the "middle man" and passes on quarry direct prices to the consumer, according to Cunningham.

A group that owns and operates four quarries and three factories in Durango, Mexico owns NSQ Direct.  These factories supply the best wholesale distributors of North America and Western Europe.  Its factories and quarries are state of the art and recognized worldwide as the leading producer of natural stone products from that region.  Their offerings include travertine, tumbled products, slabs, and architectural details such as columns, stair treads or building cladding.  "This new channel that we have opened up directly from the source to the consumer is a first in the dimensional stone industry.  NSQ Direct offers educational support about natural stone to consumers and has the ability to offer the highest quality product available at quarry direct prices, " Cunningham said.

"The Scottsdale Airpark location was selected as the first NSQ Direct outlet because a large percentage of our existing client base is situated in North Scottsdale.  In addition, we believe homeowners in Arizona will increase their demand for premium, exceptional natural stone products at competitive prices," explains Cunningham.  "We plan to announce a select few additional locations at a later time."  NSQ Direct is open seven days a week.  Store hours are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday; and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday.  For more information about NSQ Direct products call (480) 948-5454.
