I tasmmm Truth About Buying That Every Woman Should Know “A very careful analysis of the comparative values of a number of lines of goods sold both through stores and by canvassers causes me to say that there is absolutely no question but that women who buy from stores receive more for their money." “Exceedingly plausible sales talks have caused many women to hold the erroneous and costly belief that they can buy more cheaply from agents than from retail stores.” “They are given the impression that goods add at the door cost less because a number of profits are wiped out. What they are not told is that the commission paid the canvasser is of necessity much larger than the regular profit of the merchant.’* “All investigations shew, and any woman who will investigate can prove it for herself that dollar for dollar, the retail store gives the greater value.” . ... w I* —ALFRED P.

ISSUES WARNING A Warning From The Chief of Police m To The Citizens and Housewives of Asheboro: THIS IS A WARNING to beware of Strangers posing as solicitors, salesmen or inspectors. STRANGERS SHOULD NOT BE ADMITTED UNTIL THEIR CREDENTIALS HAVE BEEN CHECKED UP AND VERIFIED THROUGH DEPENDABLE LOCAL FIRMS OR PERSONS. IN MANY CASES strangers without reliable and verified credentials are spotters or locaters for professional criminals and according to Police Records lack of caution on the part of the householder in admitting such STRANGERS often results in costly property losses and bitter experiences. „ DO NOT PAY CASH IN ADVANCE to Peddlers on any merchandise—in a number of cases the customer has NEVER received anything for the cash advanced payment nor has any refund been made of the initial deposit. | DO NOT CASH CHECKS FOR STRANGERS or ISSUE A CHECK AS A DOWN PAYMENT. Oftentimes these checks have been “Altered” and later cashed by a third pad innocent party. IT’S BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY—be sore yon know who the Peddler is at yonr door. HIGH PRESSURE FREE GIFT PEDDLERS have been working the residential district of Asheboro recently—in a number of instances these clever salesman—selling photo graphs have collected cash in advance—and assuring the customer that all was to be paid was a small mount when the completed picture wa delivered—only to the surprise of '"life !■■■£ • c PHONE TUB POLlCfc the housewife lo fthd that she had signed an order for about $20 worth of pictures. In case of these HIGH PRESSURE ARTISTS calling at your DEPARTMENT AT ONCE. (This city has an ordinance against such and we are willing to cooperate with ear citizens at all times). ONE NEED NOT BE AFRAID OF OFFENDING an honest solicitor, salesman or inspector representing a local business firm, as THEY HAVE their credentials with them and welcome such investigation. ASK THE PEDDLER AT TOUR DOOR TO SHOW HIS CREDENTIALS. DEWEY BULLA, Chief of Police, Asheboro, N. C. ' ' COPYRIGHT—THE CITY ROYALTY ASSOCIATION mmmm. & --- -
