Warning About
Book "Salesmen’
RALElGH—Attorney Gen
eral Robert Morgan urged
North Carolina citizens to
day to be on guard against
door-to-door and telephone
“surveys,” “public rela
tions” and “advertising”
programs which are book
selling schemes in disguise.
“The'summer book sales
man has become a familiar
figure in North Carolina
and many have treated our
people fairly in the past,”
said Morgan. However,
each summer in recent
years the state has been
plagued with book-selling
programs dressed up to
fool the consumers into
thinking they are getting
special prices on encyclo
pedias, dictionaries or
Bibles through public re
lations or advertising pro
grams,” said Morgan.
“The buyer is led to be
lieve that he is getting a
special deal as part of the
company’s public relations
or advertising program,”
Morgan said, "when the
truth is that the companies
sell all their wares through
such sales schemes and no
one gets any special deal.”
These selling schemes are
most likely to be used dur
ing the summer months
when there is a plentiful
supply of cheap but ef
fective salesmen in the
form of students “working
their way through college.”
“Unfortunately,'’ said
Morgan, “the students
themselves are often duped
as well as their customers.
The students are led to be
lieve that they are getting
jobs in the public rela
tions and advertising fields.
By the time they realize
that the job is nothing
other than door-to-door
selling through deceptive
sales techniques, it’s too
late for them to look for
another job for the sum
mer.”
Morgan said use of such
sales techniques constitutes
an unfair and deceptive
practice in the conduct of
commerce and that such
techniques were declared
unlawful by the North Ca
rolina .Consumer Protection
Act of 1969.

expected in Los Angles,
40,000 in Buffalo, N. Y.,
40,000 in Vancouver, and
similar throngs in New
York City, Pomona, Calif.,
Kansas City and Chicago.
Seventeen other conven
tions are planned abroad,
with 120,000 expected at
Nuremberg, Germany,
where just 25 years ago
there were fewer than
10,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses
—and they were prisoners
in Hitler’s concentration
camps.
“The program at all
these conventions will be
the same,” Weathers said.
“We look forward to re
ceiving valuable instruc
tion to assist us in our
Christian ministry here in
Edenton.”
