Rails - Nov 2010 - associate field in associated table

Hello!  Here''s come code:

ItemSupplier.first.item.name  # returns name

I want:

ItemSupplier.first.name

To return the same name.  Is it possible to do that?

Thanks a bunch,

Provide an instance method of ItemSupplier, called name, that returns
item.name.  Don''t forget to check for item nil.
