Artdgaz/ne Article [4 Chdrcjes turnace Cleaning Racket (Editor’s note: The following article is repfinted, with permission, from the prairie Farmer). FURNACE CLEANING has become quite a racket, so watch your step before you sign a contract with strangers. Too often the cleaning Job turns oiit to be just an excuse for pulling the furnace apart, declaring that it is beyond repair and selling you new one. Here is a lettle from a womiin \in Kosciusko county, Ind., which illustrates what we mean: “Son|je men from a furnace company are working this community. They come around and have people sign contracts to clean furnaces. Then they come Hack and say the furnaces are beyond repair and they try to force/ you to buy a new furnace. They got real angry when I would not sign a contract for a new furnace. “I am a, widow. I have another furnace man here now and he tells me my furnace is in good All it needs is new calking and Cleaning. I had my fttrnace 10 years. Wilt you pleaser look into this?” : The only Way you can stop this racket Is to say no, say It hard and say it fast. fl’rairie Farmer has reports of ttyese furnace Inspectors actually poking holes In furnace Jackets and breaking castings to force you to buy a new furnace. Save yourself a lot of grief by dealing with a local furnace man whom you know Js honest. Thieves don’t like alert communities, and soon learn to avoid them. Police Spoil Record Memphis, Tertn.j <U.

Four Youngsters, Foiled In Stickup, Go Into Business The dual of crime and free enterprise were clearly defined by some; y aungsters the other day, according to a complaint received by tjie Decatur police department. \ Two boys ahd two girls, of an .extremely tender age, but showing a sort of Wisdom beyond their years, engaged in the crime by brandishing a toy pistol and in free enterprise by creating a supply to meet the demand. Caretaker Johnson of HannaNuttman park, stated that the group “werd playing around” the Roy Scout cabin in the park, but cursory, investigation repealed apparently nothing amiss. The childrens’ search supposedly offered them nothing more than fulfillment of a deep curiosity, so they decided to stick up a house. fhej* took a toy pistol, waved it at a woman who lived near the Witness Tqmple, located adjacent to the party, and threatened her tor money. She refused. So the gioup adjourned to the golf course,;' searched for golf balls, found sopie. and immediately wety| into business. They sold the f balls to golfers,? then wandered off. i Perhaps so plot further. Or maybe just rest. It was a full day.
