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.
Wall Street
New York (U.R) Stocks re
ceded from their highs late in
the session today, after moving
up sharply. Trading was moder
ately active.
The mild selling near the close
was attributed to profit taking.
Near the close, gains were
limited mostly to the fractional
zone with the exception of few
specialties which showed much
wider improvement. Sales in the
first four hours of dealings were
the highest in a week.
