r A I WARNING H —from the— CHIEF OF ; POLICE | to Decatur UHousewives and I Citizens I POLICE DEPARTMENT | City of Deeat ur I 1 JLft aft* rB 1 K VWw JW I SEPH MELCHI Chief of Police, Decatur, Indiana ®'IIS IS A WARNING to beware of strangSers poking as solicitors, salesmen or inIspectors. Strangers seeking admittance ■to premises as salesmen, solicitors or in- ■ sp.clors should not be admitted until ■ their credentials have been checked up ■ and verified through dependable local ■ persons or local institutions. I< MANY CASES strangers, without reI liable credentials are “spotters’* for proIl fessional criminals and. according to poll lice records, lack of caution on the part I of the householders in admitting such I strangers oftentimes results in costly proI perty losses and bitter experience. 10 NOT PAY CASH IN ADVANCE Io strangers on any merchandise i —in many eases and from experiences reported to I the police department tiie customer has || never received anything for the cash atlH vanced—nor has any refund been made *1 of the initial cash deposit. ■MINOT CASH CHECKS FOR STRANG* I EIJS— or issue a check as a down payment I on an order to a stranger—as in a numI her of cases these checks have been alterI cd and later cashed by a third and innoI cent party. ■ I S BETTER TO BE SAFE TH AN SORRY I I Be sure you know who the stranger is at your door before granting admittance to Jour home. • IIN C ASE YOU ARE SUSPiI IOUS phone the police at once, as wc are anxious to co-operate with our citizens at all times. I HIGH PRESSURE]—Free gift artists have been working the residence district of I Decatur of late selling all kinds of merchandise. offering “something free” as a means to get into the home. In most ca-es there is nothing free to be given away. ONE NEED NOT BE AFRAID of offending the honest solicitors, salesmen or inspectors living here or representing local firms. They have their credentials with them and welcome such investigation—that is why they are required to carry credentials. Protect ywnrself. Ask for credentials showing their identity. SEPH MELCHI, Chief of Police.
