Watch Your Salesman A tragic story from neighboring Mercer county, 0., plays up the importance of knowing and trusting the person from whom you buy merchandise. William Bennett, 94, a resident of the Erastus community, answered the door to find a fast-talking young woman selling magazines. Surely everyone by now has been taken in by one or more of these door-to-door pests. Anyway, she talked the nonagenarian into taking a subscription for $22 worth of magazines. Mr. Bennett signed a check, and then handed it over to her to fill in. The young lady filled it in all right — but for • sllO, instead of $22, which was bad enough. The local sheriff checked immediately when the check was cashed to find out where the traveling group ... -gjj- gone. He caught up with them in Jackson, Mich., but learned there that the missing saleswoman had left the party that same day, and headed back to California. Periodically Decatur and Adams county is overrun with teams of salesmen or women, all with a heartbreaking story of contests to be won, etc. But the bitter experience of many, many others warns everyone to turn down any salesman not known immediately. Reputable firms, such as the Fuller Brush Company, and others, have local people of standing in the community going from door to door. They are easily recognized, and if merchandise does not please, can make restitution. But the traveling hoards of magazine men are never seen again. There are many reputable magazine agencies in Decatur, and occasionally grade-school children make a solicitation to help raise funds. Stick with the ones you know, or expect trouble.
