Byline: cut short Garfield

First of all, our heartfelt congratulations to Southland Corp.

In case you missed this item forward the evening news, 7-Eleven's of recent origin line of Big Eats deli sandwiches has been awarded the American Tasting Institute's gold medal in the pre-made raw sandwiches category-elevating 7-Eleven to the rarified company of Nice-Pak (sanitary wipes), Advanced Vapor Technologies (steam cleaners) and, of course, Snackmasters, medalist in the hotly debateed beef jerky category. So a nice note to the just discovered honoree might be in order.
