Consumer Library Area
Mason County Federal Credit Union
The Consumer Corner is planned as a regular feature of the new
monthly publication. Items of general interest to credit union
members will be chosen from the many fine books and magazines
held in the consumer library. We welcome all members to utilize the
library to research any consumer problem or question that occurs.
Some of the areas covered in the library are: homes (buying, insuring
and maintaining) -- foods (buying and preparing) -- transportation
(buying, maintaining and insuring) -- wills, funerals -- and safety.
HOW TO GET OFF MAILING LISTS:
You can now put a stop to some of that junk mail you've been getting. Direct mailers
who belong to the Direct Mail Advertising Association will delete your name from
their mailing lists if you fill out a name-removal form. The service is on a blanket basis; if
you sign the form, you're taken off all lists. However, the DMAA membership covers only
about 65 percent of direct mailers, so you'll still get some junk mail. For a name-removal
form, write Consumer Relations Manager, DMAA, 230 Park Ave., New York, N.Y.
10017. If you want to get on more lists, you can do that, too. Another DMAA form
allows you to receive mail from any of 27 areas, such as travel, stocks, clothing.
NEW FTC RULES - PROTECTION FOR CONSUMERS
As a result of a new Federal Trade Commission rule, consumers now have three days to
cancel a sale made with a door-to-door salesman. The rules apply to all goods and services
costing $25 or more, and you are not penalized for a cancellation. Another ruling
modifies the "negative option" sale. It used to be that book and record clubs would ~encl
you whatever they were selling unless you returned a card refusing the item. Now you
have 10 days to mail back this card, and if you still get the merchandise you can send it
back for full credit plus return postage.
VINEGAR IN YOUR WASHER?
If you use a no-phosphate detergent, you may be washing the flame-resistant finish out of
your child's pajamas. To remedy the problem, the U.S. Department of Agriculture
recommends you add one cup of white vinegar to your rinse cycle.
Maybe you've dreamed about "just one
more closet" or a "room to store things
in."
Why be hung up? Give Lumbermen's a
call or drop by. We'd be glad to
exchange ideas with you. We'll even help
you plan down to the smallest detail.
And be sure to ask about our convenient
payment plan to fit your budget, just
like closets and storage space can be
fitted to your home.
