Dan Higgins Wood Flooring "My model was to create an installation company that did excellent work, as scheduled, and respond to customer's needs quickly." In 1985, Dan Higgins Wood Flooring Warehouse was founded by Dan Higgins at 22 years old. Dan Higgins started installing floors himself; more than 36 years later, we serve customers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware out of two showrooms. "Wood flooring has become the most affordable long-term
solution for floor coverings in your home and it’s a permanent solution to your flooring needs." We pride ourselves in selling products that will be beautiful, practical, and affordable. We offer products from only the best manufacturers we trust. Our showrooms display thousands of quality products, with samples you can take home to help you choose. "I found that the best way to take care of your customer is to take care of your employees. That’s why we share a large
percentage of our profits with our terrific staff." We appreciate that you welcome us into your home. That's why we have a team of cleancut, courteous employees we personally train to provide professional installation. We do not hire subcontractors so we can ensure the best quality work. Our non-commissioned sales team is ready to help you select the best flooring for you and your family--with no high pressure sales tactics or signing gimmicks. Our team is here to
provide you with professional service from start to finish. "The community has given so much to me and my family, I’m happy to be able to return the favor by helping those who are in need." Our success has happened thanks to our location in a great community. Our way of thanking those who support us is by sharing our success with those who need our help. Working

JB Bakery, where everything is always Just Baked, and people are always smiling
J
B Bakery began as a bagel and bread shop in 1952. Over time, ownership passed from family to family, and the product line increased. Fifteen years ago, Burlington native Stephen Simon purchased JB and made it what it is today: a local landmark and dessert lover’s paradise that is regularly voted one of Burlington County’s best bakeries. Originally, JB stood for “John’s Burlington Bakery”, the bakery’s founders, Mr. Simon sees it as “Always Just Baked” because it operates 24 hours a day to produce fresh-
T
baked products. At JB, professional bakers and pastry chefs employ traditional methods to perfect the art of dessert making. They use scratch mixes and high-quality ingredients free of preservatives and imitation flavors, with the human element involved from creation to consumption. The bakery offers hard-to-find specialties from all over the world, holiday delicacies, seasonal specials, fresh bread and rolls, a coffee bar, and exceptional service. The chefs design custom cakes for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, Sweet 16s, Bar and Bat Mitzvah, holidays,
reunions, and many other occasions; by establishing relationships with customers and listening to their ideas, JB’s all-star staff turns cake dreams into reality. Through the years, JB has become a Burlington County landmark. It is annually featured in the local news, and people visit from out-of-state to tour the facility and taste the sweets. Guests cherish walking in and experiencing the rich aroma that is unique to real, old-fashioned bakeries. A few years ago, JB gained fame for introducing its ever-popular “Whale Cookie,” a sugary de-

No Bull Mattress & More
N
Formerly known as Wholesale Mattress Warehouse
o Bull Mattress & More truly is the little guy the big guys hope you don’t find. That is their motto, and there may not be a more fitting one for any business anywhere. Located in a little warehouse next to Dunkin’ Donuts at 2060 Springdale Road in Cherry Hill, take one step inside the front door and you will instantly realize it is unlike any mattress store you have ever been in. Imagine walking into a discount store and finding every item marked down lower than it has ever been marked down before. That is what it is like in their warehouse every minute of every day. Carole Cutry is the owner and sole operator. With no employees, virtually no paid advertising and operating out of a warehouse rather than a big expensive showroom, she simply does not have the overhead that all the others have and can
therefore hit lower price points. How much lower you ask? Shockingly, every mattress in her warehouse is 55 percent to 80 percent lower than regular store prices. Not only has she taken all of the overhead out of buying a mattress, she also eliminated the deceptive advertising, phony sales and high pressure sales tactics that are unfortunately all too common nowadays. “My goal is for my customers to have fun buying a mattress,” Cutry says. “And if they are able to come here and find lower prices than they will ever see them any place else ever again, every minute of every day, and not have to haggle for those prices, that is a fun buying experience. I want every person that walks out of here to have a smile on their face. We want to be a breath of fresh air in the marketplace.”
Saving every customer 55 percent to 80 percent every minute of every day in a no haggle, no hassle, no pressure environment? That’s a breath of fresh air alright. Keep it up, Carole! No Bull Mattress & More can be found at 2060 Springdale Road in Cherry Hill, and can be reached at (856) 751-1371 or visit us at www.nobullmattress.com. ■

nstalling films on the interior windows of your home may not be at the top of your home-makeover “to-do” list, but South Jersey Window Tinting has several good reasons why homeowners should consider this a priority. South Jersey Window Tinting believes in the, “Block the Sun, Not the View” concept. As one of the area's largest contractors of window films, South Jersey Window Tinting has more than three decades of experience and knowledge in the importance of Window Film. Here are some tips why window tinting is essential: Why should people seriously consider investing in window tinting for their home? “Window film is great for heat and glare reduction, while also preventing the fading of furniture, paintings, wallpaper, etc. We also offer safety film to protect from glass breakage and intruders.” How does putting film on the windows reduce energy costs? “By installing window film, you provide your windows with an extra layer of protection. Window film insulates glass surfaces, which reduces heating costs in the Winter and cooling costs in the Summer.” Talk a little bit about how your product provides protec-
tion from the sun? “This is the latest nanotechnology film that is applied to the interior of the existing glass, which protects you and your home from harmful UV Rays”. How much does it cost? “Pricing is job specific. Call or email us to receive a FREE estimate. We run several pricing incentives throughout the year...We have one going on now!” What's involved in this installation? “Jobs vary from one to the next. Our experienced installers will go over everything with you from start to finish”. With most people spending more time at home, dealing with excessive glare and the need for privacy has become a priority. Ask the experts at South Jersey Window Tinting for suggestions!

National Scrabble Day 4/13/22
W
hat fun! This publication coincides with National Scrabble Day! Scrabble is enjoyable in so many ways: the feel of the tiles; the challenge of getting the highest word score; organizing my tiles into an actual word; connecting that word to the current board; brain engagement; healthy competition; and much more. The first time I played Scrabble was on vacation with my family. A rainy day spent wandering around the hotel, and in the lobby I saw a couple of kids playing a game. They noticed my watching them play, and invited me to join in. They explained the rules and we changed a dreary rainy day into an engaging, mind stretching, and friendly game of Scrabble. I was hooked! My friend, Kathy, shared her solitaire version. Kathy would turn all the tiles face up and then play scrabble solitaire by following all the placement rules with winning being when she used all the tiles. As I mused on my Scrabble story, it got me wondering about Scrabble's origin. Scrabble was designed by Alfred Mosher Butts in 1939. He used crossword and anagram puzzles as his inspiration and named his original game Criss Cross. How did he decide how many of each letter and their values? Mr. Butts studied the New York
Times newspaper to see how often letters appeared. James Brunot bought the rights, redesigned it and renamed it Scrabble. Scrabble has been translated into many languages and has been expanded to include versions for children and various themes. Great games inspire new games. Here are a few you may (or may not) have heard of: Qwirkle, a color based game; Quiddler, a card game; Upwards, a tile game; and Boggle, a dice game. Fun fact, the new internet sensation Wordle was recently purchased by the New York Times. Let's all celebrate word games especially Scrabble, on this National Scrabble Day! See you at the tables!
