When the Peddler calls again
nohat will he say ?

REST ASSURED that he will be prepared with " Free Samples"-™
and all the clever phrases and sales arguments which Master Peddlers
have been able to assemble—and some of this ammunition will be so
effectively Disguised that it will seem reasonable when considered
from the peddler's point of view.

Remember Your Merchant is maintaining a business institution—hiring Local
Help —which is a factor in your city. He is ready to serve you at ALL TIMES and
He Fays His Share on all of the above requirements.
You Would NOT Be Guided in money matters—-or in politics by this Wandering-

RIGHT and Wrong thing to do in supplying your needs.
Be On Your Guard For This One "I am glad Mrs. Housewife to find you and

for,the movement to eliminate the irresponsible type—As you know IAM BONDED —and my product id
Nationally Advertised, etc." He will endeavor to convince you that be is anything but a peddler— calling
himself a "special-home-office-representative"—"mill man"—service man, etc.
PLAY SAFE Better Be Sorry You DIDN'T Buy than sorry you did.
