A Costly Lesson!
“This firm will consider only solicitations as ap­
proved by the Ashland Chamber of Commerce.” —thus
reads the sign prominently displayed (but disregarded)
I
by chamber of commerce members.
Because of the disregard of this service feature I
offered by the local chamber, reports indicate that a
majority of the Ashland business men have been “tak­
en in” this past week by a neat advertising solicitation
scheme that would qualify most of us to head anyone’s
sucker list.
It seems that under the guise of church sponsor­
ship. an ambitious solicitor secured an estimated $180.
from the business men on an advertising directory.
The willingness to support a local church is highly
commendable, but too late it was discovered that the
church in question was completely unaware of the
solicitation carried on in its name.
The scheme was neatly handled, but succeeded
only because not a single member of the chamber of
commerce took the trouble to check with the secre­
tary as to whether the solicitation was on the up and
up!

firmly by simultaneously putting a ceiling over both HU.T NEWS

REMEMBER WHEN
—it was a thrill for a boy to put on his first long pants?
Grown up, that’s what he was; a man with hip pockets. And
to be in style he rolled the cuffs an extra turn to show
his fancy socks. Remember?
We keep up to “style” in funeral procedure
and equipment.
