Spread Holiday Cheer With Hardee's(R) Gift Certificates

    ST. LOUIS, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Angus Beef Thickburgers(TM), curly
 fries -- and everything nice!  Hardee's gift certificates have arrived just in
 time for the holidays.  The popular $1 certificates are sold in booklets of
 five, and may be redeemed for any menu item.
     Hardee's gift certificates are a great idea for everyone: stocking
 stuffers for dads to enjoy a Mushroom N' Swiss Thickburger(TM), munch money
 for hungry college kids with visions of The Six Dollar Burger(TM) dancing in
 their heads, and a hearty winter-morning treat for lovers of Hardee's famous
 Made-From-Scratch(TM) biscuits.
     Chicken connoisseurs can treat themselves to the new Charbroiled Chicken
 Club Sandwich(TM) or Big Chicken Fillet Sandwich(TM), while heartier appetites
 will accept the challenge of a Monster Thickburger(TM).  And all will be
 satisfied with Hardee's delicious Hand-Scooped Shakes or Malts -- available in
