Although It seems we liave, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, harped on the of sharp salesmen, dangers events which have recently come to our attention indicate that perhaps another reminder might not be in poor taste. If it will save one person from getting hooked on. one of these hot deals, it will have served its purpose. There are a few new gimmicks in the racket which are fleecing thousands of dollars out of Utah citizens each year on worthless repairs, or products of questionable value. It pretty well runs the gamut of used oil on the roof to a half-pric- e deal for an introductory show home. The one thing that is in common with most of these schemes is the fact that they like to prey on older people or widows first, and on people in rural areas second. In talking with a representof the small business group ative in Utah, it was found that the sea son for this type of business is already underway. Reports are coming in from around the state of people being taken by these shrewd operators. The Small Business Association does make some recommendations, however, as to deals which arouse some question in your mind. These include some of the following: First, be wary of deals which must be closed right now or they are off. This is one of the oldest pitches used by the fleece artists. They appeal to the prevalent instinct in man that we must try to get something for nothing. They offer a special deal to you and if only you (they say) you will act right now. Tomorrow will be too late. Just remember, no legiti- mate deal is so hot that it can't stand some scrutiny, or that it won't last until tomorrow. Another point to remember would be that you just cant get something for nothing. Siding chesne.

Mecham contractors may offer to do your home for a ridiculously low price if you will allow it to be shown to other customers. But, beware of the fine print. Some contracts call for you to pay the full price of the job, then receive a credit or rebate on every new customer that looks at your home. But what they fail to mention is the fact that they have offered the same deal to nearly everyone in your community, consequently you will be stuck with the full bill, although it sounded so good when the man was selling you on the idea. Or you might find that the ridiculously low price of an introductory offer is no better than a price that could be obtained from a local businessman or contractor, and the work is most generally inferior, and often totally misrepresented. Third, and most important, know the person with whom you are dealing. If it is a matter of repairs, etc., make sure that the person or company is licensed to do this work for you. Ask to see their state or community licenses. And never pay a person in advance for work that is to be done. Many people, particularly older people, are bilked out of life savings by salesmen who state they must have an advance payment of so much money on a job that is to be done, and then are never seen again. Basically, according to the Small Business Association, as well as the contractors group of Utah, you are generally much better off to' deal with reputable businessmen and contractors with whom you are acquainted. You will be treated more squarely by a man who must rely on your repeat business, than by a person who is just working an area for every cent he can obtain. If you are in doubt, dont sign a contract until you have talked the deal over with someone else. The legitimate deal will wait for you. The sharpie can not stand the scrutiny and will be gone.
