June 18, 19571 Chamber Varns of Bait Advertising A warning to home owners to be on guard against '"bait" ad vertising in the purchase of storm-and-screen windows or doors was issued today by Don McNeil, manager of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce. McNeil cited a warning from the National Better Business bureau with which the local chamber is affiliated. A majority of combination storm-and-screen window and door industry members are trust worthy, McNeil said, but a small minority make use of "bait" ad vertising and other types of fraud. He explained that in many cases, misleading ads feature a '"sensationally low price" for a complete combination storm window, often including instal lation. National Better Business bureau research indicates that good quality installed windows cannot sell for the "sensation ally low prices," according to McNeil. Frequently the promoter has no intention of selling windows at the advertised price, but will attempt to switch the customer to a higher priced item. Unscrupulous firms enter in to installation contracts with un skilled or untrained workmen, with the. result that windows and doors are so poorly installed as to render them useless, Mc Neil noted. Also, guarantees given by such firms are of little or no value. Boy Scouts Ttood 41 A court of honor sponsored by Troop 41 is scheduled Wed nesday. June 19. at 8 D.m. at TouVelle State nark.
