Tills presentation was read over KMKI). the Mail Tribune Virgin station thin morning hy . Chumher of Commerce Secretary C T. linker, as follows: In order to cl"ar up any slight mlHij nd erst finding that t lie re may he in regard to the Anil-I'edd let en in puiii which is being conduct ed hy the retail trndn coin mitt ce of tho Medford chamher of com merce,' we huve heon asked to give i few words of explanation of the ideis of the cnmp'ilgn to tho house wives of this city, oer the radio. Let us understand, at the outset, that this campaign Is in no way directed at those residents of Mod ford who earn their livelihood through house-to-house canvassing hut rather toward tho transient peddler who takes as much ns he can get out of the community, and leaven as llttlo as possible in re turn. ' During the past year there have been any number of transient peddlers who hnve visited Med ford, many of them sellfng Hpuii nus articles which are misrepre sented, and against which the pur chaser has no recourse, Aid A.-ked It is the hope of tho Medford chamber 0f commerce that the housewives of the community will lend their cooperation In stamp ing out this wll or tho transient peddler, for ho not only talies from the community the funds which he collects, hut he nlno renders little or no servlco In the delivery f his goods, The purchaser of theso goods has no way of know ing whether or not the fronds are ts represented, and after thoy are purchased, the - peddler him left the community, leaving behind him the illssatlsfticlion of unwor thy merchandise. The local resident who uses the method of hotive-to-houNe canvass ing us u means of livelihood pre- ents an entirely different prob Ifiii. In many cases hu or she Is a local icsldent find taxpayer, and as such. Is entitled to as much con sideration as is tho local shop keoper, and It Is not toward this person that the campaign now underway Is directed. If, upon invest Igat ion of the peddler, the itbovo facts mo found to ho true, ho will be given the endorsement of tho Medford chamber of com merce, and the campaign lis con ducted, will be beneficial to hlin. rather than detrimental. I't us analyze, for a moment, the position which the Medford merchant occupies In the commit-j iwi... it tipposcu in mat of the transient peddler. When civic Im prevement movements are Inaug urated, who Is the flint to respond, both with his funds und bis tlmo? It Is the Medford merchant, who res imes mat us tho community proKrcHKcs, so will his business I When the need for chai'ltv or nhl. I liinthnipy develops, tho .vtcdrwd merchants contribute a major share of thu necessary funds. When new schools, churches, mu nicipal titilldlllKS, etc., arc con structed, a lui-Kc portion of the taxes llh which these are built are eonti Ibulcil by the merchants who conduct their business In this city. Consider Service ' Consider, also, the mutter of service, which la one of the para mount Items In which you. as pur chasers of (foods, are Interested. If an article is bought from a transient peddler, and should that article prove unsatisfactory In uny wuy. there Is no method of return ing the goods, nor of securing a HUtlsfaCtOI-V ml lltul liionl i.. ease where the article Is Purchased ! locally, the situation Is entirely different. An article bought from n Midford merchant has the repu tation and fidelity of that mer chant behind It, und if dlssutlsfac Vlon develops, the merchant stands ready and willing to make an enultnhle adjust nient: either by exchanging for unother article or like value, or else to refund the pm-chufc price. May we ask you. then, both as a matter of civic loyalty und good ' business, to aid the Medford I chamber of commerce In promol-1 Injj kuihI business in Medford. to cooperate with us In alleviating 1 the transient peddler evil, but to I finally stamp It out entirely. With- out your assistance, tills campaign i will huve been worse than useless. I tun through your aid, ft ran be made most effective, and will re. dound to the greater benefit of this community. .Mrs. 11. . Itiyant. who Is reprc sentlng the Medford chamber of commerce, will call at your home within the next few days. If she lias not already been there, ami will further explain to you the ob Jects of this campnlgn. and will explain to you how you can bo of assistance, in tho Interests of community building, win you pleuso give her your enllr,. coop, oration, nnd wo aro suro that both you and the business men of Med fiuil will bo witlsfled with the re suits obtained. fill lONOni.l-:, Kranrc.
