| A five-story tall inflatable gorilla attracted potential buyers to a special sale at the Uptown Lincoln-Mercury dealership in Wauwatosa. Although the presence of a gorilla might seem to confirm the unsavory reputation of used car salesmen, this time the promotion was a good thing, fundraising for the Milwaukee Zoo. |
