A&M logo boosts sales by Kelley Smith Battalion Reporter Selling products marked with Texas A&M logos is big busi ness. Local bookstores are filled with T-shirts, glassware and school supplies — all marked with some variation of an Aggie logo, from the official Texas A&M University seal to Old Sarge. In addition to the parapher nalia sold in local bookstores, the Texas Aggie,a monthly maga zine published by the Associa tion of Former Students, carries advertisements for Aggie pro ducts sold by out-of-town com panies or through the mail. And a store in Post Oak Mall sells only products with a Texas A&M logo. “It is really the going thing, not just at Texas A&M but at all the universities,” said Everett Laird, administrative services manager at the Unversity. Bubba Loupot, manager of Loupot’s Bookstore, said they sell basically everything that can be printed with a Texas A&M logo that is not in bad taste. The merchandise and prices at the bookstore range from 50 cents for a small gift keychain to $30 for a blanket. But the most popular items are T-shirts, Loupot said. “There is no point in selling anything without a Texas A&M logo, because we sell mainly to students,” he said.
