DAVIE, Fla., Aug. 8, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- China Direct Trading Corporation's (OTCBB:CHDT) wholly owned subsidiary, Souvenir Direct, Inc. (SDI), has agreed to exhibit at the upcoming Las Vegas Show at Mandalay Bay on August 16-18th, the products of Spitfire Ventures, Inc., the Southern California-based maker of the Talking Toilet Paper. Talking TP was chosen as one of the 10 top novelty items by Dave Barry in his syndicated column. Spitfire has recently come out with a new version to be used in toilet training called PottyMate, which adds a booklet written by "The Potty Coach" Jan Faull, as well as reward labels. PottyMate is a complete system for potty training, offered at a fraction of the price of leading solutions currently on the market.
Additionally, China Direct will sell other Spitfire products which include a new Auto Accident Kit. The Auto Accident Kit comes with a flash camera with 800 ASA film, a flashlight, pen, and magnetic auto accident guide. Spitfire also makes custom magnetic credit card sized books which are used for promotional products and are sold to various Fortune 500 companies.
Spitfire Ventures' main product line is its line of patent-pending, tearproof and waterproof "Fingertip Books." Because CHDT has Chinese facilities capable of manufacturing this product, the companies hope to work together to create promotional products as well as retail books for the commercial marketplace.
