Is there a discount rate arranged with any hotels in Hobbs, NM? Either

For Sale: Gap Tape by
Thomas Johnson[_3_]
One day use gap tape for sale.
40 rolls for $45 (postage paid)
(USA sales only)
This tape is not as good as the
$6 to %15 a roll tape. But, if
you assemble and disassemble daily
it works well and is much cheaper.
