Home-Owners Cautioned Against

Home-owners are cautioned
against fast-sell artists who oft-

storm, or other wide-spread
damage causing disaster, to de

the purpose of “conning" them
into expensive, and many times
inferior, home repair jobs
These fast-talkiing super sales
men use a variety of "pitches,’’
most of them tempting promises
to get the home-owner’s mind
off of important things . . . like
