Open 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Daily Fri. and Sat. until 10 p.m. o Featuring o Delicious FRIED RABBIT i Furnace 'Racket' Warning Issued A' warning against the "fur nace repair racket" was Issued today by Don McNeil, manager of the Jackson Count Chamber ox Commerce. ' " -The National Better Business bureau, with which the chamber is affiliated, reports that al though the great majority of firms .engaged in servicing and selling furnaces deal fairly with the public, a minority in this business continue to use certain dishonest tricks to exploit the gullible. McNeil said. - He added that the most persis tent rackef In furnace repair is an attempt to sell a new fur nace unfairly and without justi fication when the agreed-upon or re-setting leads to the "dis covery" . that the old furnace cannot be repaired. The majority of firms in the furnace and furnace repair field are reputable and give the public reliable cleaning and repair ser vice and do not frighten the public into buying new furnaces by falsely condemning old ones as unsafe, McNeil said. He ad vised that to avoid the few who damage the industry as a whole by using questionable tactics, homeowners deal only with firms known to be reliable.
