Investigate First

Just to keep the milk of human kindness from running away with your pocketbook during these balmy days, the Better Business Bureau has drawn up the following Instructions for avoiding the fakers: ONE: Deal only with firms whose dependability and reliability can be established by intelligent inquiry. TWO: Be certain the salesman represents the company he claims to represent, THREE: Don't sign papers before . you understand fully ‘the conditions of a sale. FOUR: Look for the name of the firm printed on the contract before you sign. FIVE: Make certain verbal promises are included in terms of contract. : SIX: Hold on to a copy of your

contract,

SEVEN: 8ign a completion cer- |

tificate only after you are satis-| fled that work has beéh completed

EIGHT: Avoid paying cash to a| salesman. Instead make out a!

quotations with those of TEN: Remember that loan insurance by a government agency for work does not mean the agency stands behind material and workmanship.
