Show Silent "Watch Dog" The "peddler" season seems to be on in a big way, ;md all residents of Cedar City are reminded that the Chamber of Commerce "Blue Card" program is still in effect. Any "peddler," salesman or house to house canvasser or demonstrator can easily acquire a Blue Card from the Chamber of Commerce committee in charge, providing tie or she has a legitimate and honest proposition to offer the individual. And every housewife should be suspicious of the proposition offered if the salesman cannot produce a blue card. When canvassers come to the door they should immediately im-mediately be asked to show their blue card. If they cannot can-not produce this any housewife should not waste her time listening to any type of sales talk. If the salesman has merely overlooked the necessity of acquiring a blue card he should not object to being reminded of it, and if he does you may rest assured that the proposition he has to offer is not a legitimate one. The Chamber of Commerce, through its Blue Card program, provides a valuable protection to all citizens against the fast talking salesman who does not offer a worthwhile value, or who may be unable to live up to all of his promises. It citizens do not take advantage of this protection they have no one to blame but themselves when they lose money on the peddler's promises. When a peddler calls, ask to see his "Blue Card"; you will never be sorry. |
