An industry member may furnish, give, rent, loan, or sell retailer advertising specialties to a retailer if such items bear advertising material and are primarily valuable to the retailer as a means of advertising. These items may include, but are not limited to: coasters, mats, menu cards, wine lists, meal checks, paper napkins, foam scrapers, back bar mats, thermometers, clocks and calendars. The name or name and address of the retailer may be added to the advertising specialty.
