Fire Damages Roof' Renewed emphasis is being placed on the blue card campaign, Bowen stated, in an attempt to reduce the number of solicitors and salesmen who are making Brigham City these days. Some of them are legitimate and if they are, they will have no trouble in getting a blue card. But by the same token, some of them are not, and they are the ones were after, Bowen said. To support the argument that there are plenty of racket men the among these solicitors, Chamber of Commerce has just subscribed to a service bulletin prepared by the National Better Business bureau. In this monthly recently released are listed every conceivable kind of scheme, intended to fleece the public. Typical, is the photographer asking mothers for permission to take pictures of their babies for entry in the Gerbers Baby Foods contest. After entry into the house has been obtained under this pretext and the photographs taken, a salesman calls lfack with proofs and endeavors to obtain orders from the proud parents. The Better Business bureau have reports inat Gerbers never had such a contest nor does it have any arrangement with any photographers to take pictures on its behalf. , The unscrupulous representative has no hesitancy in making Brigham City Firemen had to scale the roof at the apartment building at 135 West Forest before they could get to the attic fire Monday afternoon. . . .

ITS PRODUCT. PUBLICATION OR PROPOSITION. T from date of Box Elder Chamber of Commerce By Secretary. Printed on blue card in blue ink, this permit is issued by the Chamber of Commerce after careful investigation of the solicitors proposition and credentials. Its all for your protection so dont buy or give until you see one, and only then if you are sure its a good deal for you. everyone without a blue card. Bowen went on to explain just how the blue card plan works. Solicitors who want to do business in Brigham City are asked to call at his office and explain the deal in full, submitting contracts along with references. The chamber office will investigate the deal and check on the references, by phone if necessary. If found legitimate, the blue card will be issued. It isnt a recommendation that you sup' port the proposition, but merely that It has been investigated, he said. The fellow whose proposition wont stand investigation - will never call at our office. Bowen "Hes the fellow announced. that will stall when you ask about a blue card, and will act surprised that one is expected, or tell you that his partner has the card with him. As a matter of fact, if there are two or more solicitors involved, theyll each have one, if anyone does. To sum It all up, dont even listen to a proposition where the solicitor cant produce a blue card. If he does have one, re member that isnt a recommendation to buy. It merely shows that the deal has been investi gated. Of course, the safest and best plan is to always buy from your home-towmerchants, Bowen concluded. Hes your friend and neighbor and you know hell back up every word he says about the product. Quality considered, hell give you the best buy, too, because his selling costs arent as high as the r whose peddler commission is 50 percent or more. n or promises because he knows that legally he cannot be held after youve signed on the dotted line. The court assumes youve read the contract you signed and always in small print there is the line protecting the company from over enthusiastic claims of the high pressure boys pushing the product. oral claims PLAY GROUND IMPROVEMENTS Council Votes to Buy $5,000 Transformer For City Power Plant Elwood Boy is FirstTraffic -- , Offering $250 to "help' out the annual project of Improving the play grounds of the city," iMrs. Ella Long and Mrs. Roy Bar- nard representing the Kindergarten club offered the city Kenneth J.

To conduct the study, the university lists all freshmen students by tlhe school they graduated from, then carefully screens their grades by subjects and evaluates them, sending each school a graph showing their standing among all schools. Each high school iS designated on the graph by a number, known only to that school, so that the standings of other state schools are unknown. In English for the first quarter of the current year, Box Elder students ranked first with a 2.95 rating. Average of all freshmen English students was 2.32, Box Elder above this index. ranking .43 This isnt just one isolated case either. Similar records go back to the fall quarter in 1944 and in these 10 years, Box Elder students have been above the average every year except one, in 1949, when they dropped under by .04. They came back strong in 1950 however, to rank .70 above average. |
