Contestant applications and auditions in the Search for the American Worker are now taking place at The Working Person’s Store in Lakeville, Indiana, and at www.WorkingPerson.com. Entering is easy: Contestants are invited to register online, then, wearing their favorite work gear, they’ll tape an audition and write a brief summary of their work experience.

Auditions can be submitted three ways: in the store; by uploading a video clip taken with a web cam or other similar device to the workingperson.com website, or by mailing a mini-DV tape or DVD to the store.

From these entries, The Working Person’s Store will select finalists and post these video clips at the store’s website. Contestant applications may be subitted at www.workingperson.com/saw/ .

Visitors to the www.WorkingPerson.com website will be able to view the finalist’s videos, read the entries and cast their votes for the American Worker, throughout November.

The votes will be tallied and the winner announced on December 1, 2006.

The winner of the “Search” will receive a complete “head-to-toe” outfit of their choice from The Working Person’s Store. They’ll also have their video featured in an upcoming commercial to be showcased on both the Carolina Shoe Company and The Working Person’s Store websites, visible to the world.

Participating voters in the “Search” will each be eligible to win one of ten pairs of “Built For Work” Carolina Boots, to be awarded at the conclusion of the contest as well.

Carolina Shoe Company and The Working Person’s Store are working to make life better for the American worker. They share the conviction that quality isn’t a luxury, it’s an absolute necessity. Customers of both Carolina and The Working Person’s Store can shop with confidence knowing the products offered have passed stringent requirements for quality, durability, comfort and outstanding value.

Eric Deniger, CEO of the Working Person’s Store said, “Carolina and The Working Person’s Store are dedicated to serving the needs of working people everywhere. It all starts with great products, but includes more. It’s about honesty, integrity and extraordinary customer service based on a simple philosophy: We treat people the way we would like to be treated.” Deniger added, “That’s the way our companies have always done business, and always will.”

History

Founded in 1995, The Working Person's Store rapidly grew to become a major destination for quality, name brand work apparel and footwear, while serving a wide spectrum of working people throughout the Midwest. In 1998, we added an Industrial Shoe Mobile to better serve our industrial customers at their place of work. By 2001, business continued to grow at a very rapid pace and we responded to the needs of our more distant customers, to provide a more convenient online catalog to serve repeat ordering needs. After the opening of WorkingPerson.com, we were very pleased to begin serving an even wider array of customers on both a national and international basis, with ever increasing demand for our goods and services. Then, in 2005, we continued our expansion with the acquisition of our new Technology Center from North Main Ventures, as well as a dramatic increase in the size and scope of our team. Since that time, the WorkingPerson.com site has become the number one, world-wide destination for work clothing, work footwear and safety gear, serving customers on five continents daily.

Philosophy

How did we do it? With a simple premise: You work hard, and so do we. (There are no slackers at WorkingPerson.com.) But it's more than just hard work. Our growth has been guided by four key principles:

QUALITY AS A NECESSITY

We're dedicated to the needs of working people everywhere, based on the proposition that quality isn't a luxury, it's an absolute necessity. Why? Because we've learned from experience that buying quality may cost a little more to start with, but it's a bargain in the long-run. Thus, our customers shop with confidence knowing the brands and products found at WorkingPerson.com have passed stringent requirements for quality, durability, comfort and outstanding value.

LOW PRICES - ALL THE TIME

We firmly believe every working person deserves a fair deal each and every time they shop with us. But how do we make sure that our customers always get a fair deal? We start with fair pricing, backed by our exclusive 120% Price Protection Guarantee.

The Working Person's Store 120% Price Protection Guarantee is your assurance that our net delivered price and value will always save you money. Unlike some companies, we don't hide part of our price in the form of "shipping and handling" charges that mysteriously show up in your shopping cart at the last minute. (We hate when that happens.) That's why we include fast, Free Shipping on any order of just $45 or more. No unpleasant surprises here!

HONESTY - IN ALL WE SAY AND DO

We don't believe in the phony "blow out" sales offerings that you see at most stores. We think you're smart enough to recognize real value, without resorting to these tactics. If you see something marked down at the WorkingPerson.com site, the savings are always genuine.

Our bottom line is this: There's more to business than just the bottom line. It's also about integrity and honesty. We treat people the way we would like to be treated. Nothing fancy here; just good common sense and respect for our customers. It works for us; we know it works for you too.

FANATICAL CUSTOMER SERVICE

While every business talks about great customer service, we're fanatical about taking care of our customers' needs. But don't take our word for it, (talk is cheap), click here to see what our customers have to say about our service. Whether by telephone, email, or live chat, you'll always enjoy honest and friendly service.

That's the way we do business. Visit us today at http://www.workingperson.com
