A Chat With April’s Profile, Tim Burns, brand manager of Edmund Scientific

CS: What about the catalog industry appeals most to you?
TB: When I was a kid I used to love mail ordering. I’d collect Bazooka Joe comics and try to get the kazoo or the whistle that you got if you sent in a buck and 100 Bazooka Joe’s. So just the whole idea of mail order was always appealing to me.
And then on the merchandise side, I’m more of a gadget guy than I am a science guy, so I get my kicks on the merchandise side because I love gadgets and a lot of what Edmund Scientific sells falls into that category.
