I moved the "further reading" to the talk page. I suspect the original author wanted to promote the company. I will expand the article, but I have no intention of promoting the company. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:40, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Directory listing

Google Books says that:

D & B million dollar directory: Top 50,000 companies. Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., 1999.

says on p. 2730:

"KOOL SMILES See NCDR LLC" (seen in book preview area - Type the phrase into Google Books and you will get it)

I'm not sure why it says "1999" because the Kool Smiles company didn't exist until 2002. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:30, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
