      "Four years ago we introduced the Working Assets Visa Card
      -- the only credit card that works for peace, human rights
        and the environment every time it's used. Since 1986,
       Working Assets` cardholders and long-distance users have
      generated over $700,000 for non-profit groups like Amnesty
       International, Earth Day 1990, Rainforest Action Network
                          and Oxfam America."

==================================================================
Is your money being invested in companies building nuclear weapons?
Corporations destroying the environment, or who "union-bust" or
discriminate? What you have in a "regular bank" quite likely is
invested in assets promoting things we are strongly opposed to. Below
are several places to put your money which won't let your money work
against your values...
=================================================================


=============================
Working Assets Long Distance:
=============================

"HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: Every time you call long-distance, we give 1
percent of your charges (at no cost to you) to non-profit groups
working to clean up toxic wastes, preserve rainforests, feed the hungry
and more. The more you talk, the more we give (see back page for
groups we've funded in the past)

HOW OUR LONG DISTANCE SERVICE WORKS: Working Assets uses the all-new
fiber-optic network of US Sprint -- and adds our own unique commitment
to the future of our world. That means you get the same low rates and
high quality service *all* US Spring customers get. Including 24-hour
operator services and the pin-drop quality sound US Spring is famous
for. It also means that if you switch from AT&T's basic residential
service, *you'll save money on every interstate call.*

SIGN-UP OFFER: To get you started, we'll give you a credit equal to 30
free minutes, and a free calling card. Just dial 1-(800)-669-8585 [you
get US Sprint operator --HB] or send name, address, tel number(s) to
switch, and sign: "Sign me up for Working Assets Long Distance" [to
above Working Assets address]

THE SMALL PRINT: Working Assets Long Distance is an exclusive service
of Working Assets Funding Service. By signing the attached card, you
authorize us to notify your local phone company that you choose US
Sprint to be your primary long-distance carrier. You will still be
able to place calls with other carriers or switch to another primary
carrier if you with. When you switch your primary long-distance
carrier, your local phone company (not us or US Sprint) may apply a
one-time switching charge of about $5. IF it does (and even if it
doesn't) we'll give you a credit to help offset the charge equal to 30
free minutes of interstate calling. The credit will be at the US Sprint
3,000 mile night/weekend rate and will be issued after your third full
month of service. If you are currently a US Sprint customer, you may
sign up for Working Assets Long Distance. There will be no switching
charge and you won't get a 30 minute credit"
