now in full bloom and Mary's
Tea Time has launched a new,
old-fashioned, 195os-style soda
fountain serving cherry and
vanilla cokes, malts, chocolate
sodas and Schwann's ice cream.
Just across the street, a brick-

fast, lunch, and dinner, the new
restaurant also offers espresso,
homemade pies and cinnamon
rolls, and "specials all the time."

• Have you ever worked around noise?
• Do you think you may have suffered
Heating Loss due to this noise?
Don't read any further if you answered
"NO" to the above questions.
If you answered "YES" then you need to be aware
that YOU and thousands of other workers have paid
for programs that were set up as far as the early 20's.
Washington State is the only state in the Nation
that collects money from YOUR paycheck to
cover part of your workers compensations.
(THIS STATEMENT WAS MADE IN PRINT BY L & I)
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU????
This means that YOU and thousands of other
workers have been paying into a program that
will compensate YOU if you suffer from Hearing
Loss due to noise on the job. This is like putting
money into the bank for "A Rainy Day." Well the
"Rainy Day" has come and will be gone on 9-10-04
IF you don't apply for what you may have coming
from the program. The state will keep the money
that should have been paid to YOU for
YOUR Hearing Loss.
ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE TO APPLY FOR
WHAT MAY BE OWING TO YOU, THE
STATE WON'T DO IT FOR YOU.
In just a few moments of your time we can
calculate what you may have coming from
the state for your Hearing Loss.
If you have gone to a Retail Hearing Aid store
to start a claim and they can't tell you how much
compensation you have coming, you may have
gone to the wrong place. Retail Hearing Aid
stores are in business to sell Hearing Aids not
to manage Hearing Loss claims.
IF YOU HAVE AN OLD HEARING LOSS
CLAIM THAT HAS BEEN CLOSED, WE CAN
RE-APPLy FOR ANY ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
YOU MAY HAVE COMING.
