Cities and towns throughout the country are filled
with traveling peddlers and doorbell ringers whose
only mission is to sell people something at a time
when they are least ready for buying. They have
but one object in view to separate busy housewives
from their ready cash.
It Is
I. Necessary-To
La Grande is no different than other cities. These
bell ringers can be found here as well as elsewhere.
Many housewives no doubt can attest the fact that
they have often had to shut the door quickly in the
face of these presistent "pests. "

Peddlers
There are thousands cf "Factory-to-Consumer" institutions through
out the country. They pay enormous commissions to district man
agers and door bell ringers who try to make you believe they are un
derselling your local merchant, or offering a better product than he
can sell you. Ileal tests and actual comparisons j prove that your,
local merchant really 'offers better merchandise at the s?me price, or
less, than the peddler. '
, Don't be fooled by a J I this talk about low prices. The bell ringer
isn't giving merchandise away. In nine cases out of ten he gets a
real good price for everything he offers you. He is a high-pressure
salesman trained to outdo the ordinary efforts of the merchants'
salespeople. He depends more en his selling ability than the quality
or price of his merchandise, don't mistake that.
No matter what these bell ringers offer to sell, whether it is Silk Hosiery, Ladies' Wear
ing Apparel, Men's Wearing Apparel, Haberdashery, Jewelry, Household
Goods, Furniture, Medicines, Toilet Goods,
. i . Books, Auto Accessories or the like -
