work of art. Visit the Louvre, the Lido. Every moment
for you and your guest is care-free, worry-free. Tidewater
OH Company and its Flying A Service Stations host you
every step of the way."
On April 15, Mr. Bigger was host to Flying A dculers and
distributors from all parts of southern Oregon at a sales
meeting In Roscburg, at which time the company's 1D03 sales
pluns were announced. The series of 25 expense-paid trips to Paris for two were highlights
of the program.

Washington.
A study of the resource po

The North Cascade Primi

Wilderness area are within
the region to be studied. The
region is rugged, highly scenic
and is virtually undeveloped.
The portions of the area
presently designated by the
Forest service as wilderness
and primitive exclude logging
and most other commercial
operations. Generally outside
these designated areas lie the

Washington - 0!PI) - A land
sale racket that flourished in
the twenties is reported mak
ing a comeback in the sixties.
It is known as the "free
lot" scheme, and it works
something like this:
A person receives a letter
from a firm describing lots
for sale in some remote but
sun-kissed valley or beach,
usually a considerable dis
tance away.
The promotion literature have
suggests tnat the land is a
thing of beauty, perfect for
that summer home or retire
ment cottage, and that all of
the utilities and other services
are in-ready for the houses to
go up.
Then, to entice the custo
mer even more, the literature
says that as a special offer for
lot buyers, it will sell a sec
ond lot for an extra $20, or
some such insignificant sum.
Buyer Awakens
What really happens -according
to reputable realtors
is that the customer finds out
that the land he bought isn't
quite as scenic as the adver
tising prose suggested.
And the clincher is that
When he is ready to pick up
the deed for that second lot,
the saleman says something '
like: "Oh yes, on that second j
lot . . . there are a few inci
dental fees, recording papers
and a couple other things, j
We'll need another $350 to
cover these,"
The National Association of
Real Estate Boards says that
reports from its members in
dicate that the free lot scheme
is getting more popular
among the confidence men
who try to sell by mail.
No one seems to know ex
actly why. Perhaps, it might
be because some of the forces
that seemed to feed this rack
et 40 years ago may be pres
ent today.
Mainly, a lot of people seem
to have money to spend. And
they are infected by the bargain-hunter's
mania.
Reviews Stat Laws
At any rate, the National
Association of Real Estate
Boards sounded the warning
to its members. It also tried
to bring them up to date on
slate laws intended to catch
the free-lot operators.
The board used information
which was collected by its
State Associations Depart
ment in Chicago to alert its
members about the racket.
The department reported I leading advertising or Ilia
that the free lot scheme is spe- making of false promises in

to classify them as illegal.
