Dancing Bears Displace Poker Playing Dogs in this Year's Hot Print Picks

Cambridge, MA (November 26, 1999) -- Man's best friend is being replaced by a somewhat fiercer creature. This is according to print and poster e-tailer Barewalls's PPI (Print & Poster Index).

With the holiday shopping season in full swing, the ever-popular dogs playing poker (C.M. Coolidges' "A Friend in Need") has been knocked out of Barewalls' top ten bestseller list, while William H. Beard's "The Bear Dance" slips in at number ten.

"We're shocked," said Keith Marchand, Director of Merchandising of Barewalls," 'A Friend in Need' consistently ranks among our most popular prints."

Other surprising entries onto this year's top ten list include Mark Miller's tribute to our passion for peppers with "The Great Chile Poster", a vintage advertisement for the ever-popular French beverage "Orangina" and Mark Rothko's distinctive abstract "Orange and Yellow."
