The most vahmble half-hour education any housewife
could possibly acquire would be viewing the film and hear-
ing the remarks which comprised the program for last
week s Chamber of,Commerce meeting.
It is too bad the audience was confined to the relative-
ly small group of persons---all men, unfortunately--because
the knowledge the film and talk imparts would be of far
greater value to the housewife, who is the chief target of
smooth-talking door-to-door salesmen.
The film dramatized as no written word can
the methods, maneuvers'o and misrepresentations
employed by the glib, here-today-gone-tomorrow
sales sticker" who raps on the door of your home or I
sets up temporary headquarters in a community
to make qhis killing and then mow on.
Some of these nafarious individuals have been operating
in Mason County recently, in fact there is. seldom a time
when they are not to some degree.
Here's one. You ve read an advertisement with an un-
believable bargain. When you tried to buy it the salesman,
either in your home or in the store, tells you the "bargain"
is no good but he has something else which is good--and
you soon find the price is mighty high on that one. This is
the "bait and switch" game.
Or the "modet home" pitch. The door-to-door salesma
says your home will be shown as a model,to other customers
and used in other ways for advertisement in return for
Which you receive a "referral'.' payment •for/M1 new sales.
In the end, however, you pay full price of the contract:
plus interest and get none of the promised bonuses.
Or the "'free gift" gimmick. The phone rings and for
answering an absurdly simple question you are told you
win a prize. Only you find out that you have to buy some-
thing to get the "free" gift.
These are a few of the common swindles.
If every Mason County resident could see that film and
hear the remarks of Dean Floyd (or any ether'staff mem*
her of the Consumers Protective Division of the attorney
general's office) this community would become a no-man's-
land for the crooked salesman and many thousands of dol-
lars which are now swallowed up by these nefarious char-
acters would be saved to the benefit of the consumer.
Tlw gist of the whole thing simply boils down
to the irrejutable fact that the established store in
you,r own community whose owner or manager is a
resident of the community and must stand by his
promises is where you get the true bargains week-
in and week-out, year-after-year.
Give your patronage to the good stores in your own
community, keep your hard-earned paycheck away from
the easy-money artists who move from community-to-com-
munity, fleecing the trusting consumer who fails to analyze
the traps in their smooth sales talks.
