Residents Warned by Chamber to Beware Of 'Spring Rackets' Don McNeil, manager of the itinerants known as the "Wil Jackson County Chamber of I liamson Gang," he said.

McNeil cited a bulletin from the National Better Business Bu reau with which the chamber is affiliated, which stated that a small group of "questionable op erators take advantage of spring weather to perpetrate various hoaxes on the public." Established Firms He reminded residents that es tablished, local firms provide all the services offered by the "gyp" outfits, and that in dealing with reputable local dealers, no risk of being hoaxed is involved. Among the "racketeers, ac cording to McNeil, are phony tree surgeons that sell fake "hu mus" or lawn dressing, fake "ter mite experts ' and fake "roofing experts." Homeowners also should be suspicious of certain furnace re pairmen, he said. The chamber manager explained that alter the salesman gains access to the basement by offering a free in spection or posing as an official inspector, he dismantles the fur nace and then pronounces it dangerous and beyond repair. If asked to reassemble it, Mc Neil noted, they say they cannot assume responsiblitjl for reas sembling a worn-out and danger ous furnace. If the homeowner agrees to buy a new furnace, he said, the "gyp" charges an enor mous price for an inferior in stallation not needed in the first place. Combination Deal McNeil warned against offers of combination storm windows and doors at extremely low prices.

According to McNeil some home builders and repairmen pretend to give "bargain prices" to persons who will let the build er show the completed job to other prospective customers, Sometimes commissions are promised, he said. Their actual fees are often excessive, work is inferior and usually there are no commissions, he said. McNeil cautioned residents against "itinerant hawkers of shoddy merchandise." Sellers of fake "Irish lace" and "British woolens" are particularly active, he said. These goods frequently are handled by a famous clan of In order to protect residents against "spring rackets," McNeil listed the following recommendations: 1. Beware of salesmen that say "he just happens to be in the neighborhood" with his garden ing or home repair equipment. Request information from the chamber concerning such sales men. 2. Check "amazing" bargain of fers before any money is spent or investments made. 3. Beware of salesmen who use the so-called "model home pitch." 4.
