Question
Mr. Perkins,
My wife and I will be visiting Austria and Germany this summer.  We would like to visit a black forest coo coo clock manufacturer to pick up a souvineer clock.  Do you know if this is possible or do we need to purchase one from a retail shop. Do you know of someone we could visit near Lake Titisee?
Thanks

Answer
Many manufactures welcome visitors and clients, particularly in the Black Forest area of Germany.  I suggest you contact the German and Austrian embassies in Washington D.C.  Request tourist assistance and tell them what you wish.  They will help you.  Regards WJP
