Jinny Beauty Supply Florida Company
and MDS Inc. announced a merger:
Creating the new MDS Distributors of Miami.

"I truly would like build a new structure for the current OTC retailers in the Florida market and to do business with our true international customers with brand awareness program to enlarge their horizons beyond what they were accustom to in the past."
Jinny Beauty Supply Florida Company and MDS Inc. are very pleased to announce a merger that will create the new MDS Distributors of Miami. The two companies, both leaders in their fields, are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead in the growing Florida market and its current and new international markets.

Mr. Tae Jhin, founder and CEO of Jinny Beauty Supply, brings more than twenty four years of experience to this new company and has seen Jinny Beauty Supply grow from a single Benjamin Franklin type of retail store in Kenosha, Wisconsin to the largest distributor of the multi-cultural beauty supply and general merchandise in the world.

Mr. Michael Erasmous had a somewhat of a different beginning, but brings a similar level of experience to the new company. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Michael has been married for thirty five years and has two children. A 1967 Bryant College graduate with a major in accounting and later advanced studies at New York University Michael started his work career with a sports management firm in White Plains, New York that specialized in all aspects of management and financial planning of professional athletes. While working in this field, Michael met and formed relationships with several sports figures of the 70's. In 1974 Michael and his wife moved to Florida and started MDS Beauty Supply Inc. He has been a dominant figure in the South Florida market for over 30 years.

We are very confident to say that with the combined experiences of Mr. Tae Jhin, CEO of Jinny Beauty Supply Co. and Mr. Mike Erasmous of MDS Inc, they have much to offer one to another and to their new company, MDS Distributor of Miami.
When OTC Magazine asked each person's plan of actions for the new company, Mr. Erasmous stated, "With the new merger, I wish we could bring the same level of success that I could be proud of in terms of integrity and establish a strong business to keep the MDS Inc legacy for others to follow". "I look forward to this new marriage in business that will be a new start for me."

Mr. Jhin states, "I truly would like build a new structure for the current OTC retailers in the Florida market and to do business with our true international customers with brand awareness program to enlarge their horizons beyond what they were accustom to in the past." "The time has come where we need to help and support our OTC retailers in the Florida market to help them rebuild their stores and to truly separate the international market with the domestic market and to build a stronger brand awareness that they have not seen in the past and to educate and communicate to our international customers how to achieve these goals in their markets."
