October, 1, 2007, Utica, New York

Today The WaterBasket Company submitted a branded sample to the Utica, New York Branch Manager of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. But rather than shipping this WaterBasket to a nearby Utica address, it has been sent to NBC's Hollywood studio for their critically acclaimed show, The Office.

In the coming months a Dunder Mifflin branch will open in Utica, NY. The hope is the new product will land a cameo on the show. WaterBasket is a Utica-designed water cooler cover. According to inventor Brett Truett, "The product simply and quickly sets over blue bottle; add a plant and the view is transformed. Oh, and I'm a huge fan of the show."

Truett added, "We strongly believe the Dunder Mifflin Utica branch needs to dress-up their water cooler. In fact, might this be a perfect storm? The Office, a water cooler, and a WaterBasket! Combined fabled water cooler conversations, America's love of inventing and the antics of NBC's show, well they might make a full episode of it," joked Mr Truett. He concluded with a smile, "We also suggested that Robert Scott and all Dunder Mifflin branches add WaterBaskets to their corporate gift-giving program."

Stay tuned to a future episode! Perhaps Stanley argues with Angela (and her questionable office expenses from an LTD catalog), as Mr. Scott and staff adds fame for WaterBasket.

The WaterBasket Company is a new company located at 10 Liberty Street, Utica. For more information, please call them at (315)793-2003.
