Hemptown Clothing Featured on Wallstreetcorner.com
VANCOUVER, Aug. 3 /CNW/ – Hemptown Clothing Inc. (NASD OTCBB: HPTWF), a leading provider of enviro-friendly hemp fabric clothing, is pleased to announce that Jerry Kroll, CEO, has been featured in an online interview on Wallstreetcorner.com.
According to Larry Oakley of Wallstreetcorner.com, "Hemptown is a company that will appeal to those who care not only about revenue and growth, but about the environment."
According to industry statistics, the cotton used in one standard T-shirt requires one third of a pound of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and 1740 US gallons of fresh water to grow. In contrast, hemp requires virtually no pesticides or herbicides and can be grown in cool climates which require less irrigation. In addition to its environmental advantages over cotton, hemp is also a much stronger fiber than cotton with hemp products expected to last about four times longer than cotton items.
"Hemptown's sales in 2003 were USD$661,000 and we believe that we will be able to capture a significant market share of the industry through increased sales and marketing efforts within the next twelve months", according to Jerry Kroll, CEO.
Hemptown's extensive list of clients includes such notable corporations as AVEDA, San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park, HBO, Toyota, and Warner Brothers.
