PAGE TWO - T2~ CAKAD!AN STATESMA!i, EOWMANV!LLZ, ONTAP.IO ?Xt71~SDAY, MAT 2Srd~ - Sa lesmen of Unknown Address Are Keeping Busy in This Area Bowmanville Chamber o! Commerce are kaeping a watchfui eye open for "Sprinli- time Rackets" witbin tbe town enid area. and have urgad citi- zens to use caution when deai- ir.g with unknown saiesmen n- Persons soiciting donations. In keaping up with current events bbe Chamber bas cited a few cases drawn to thair at- tention recently. Non-Existent Camp A few montbs ago King Street merchant.s wera ap- proachedl by a weli dressed, well spoken man soliciting don- ations on behaîf of a camp for underpriviiegad children. Sirn- Ilan canvassas bad been con- ductèd by the smre man on several occasions in recent years. E&cb time he bas ob- tained donations from a sub- stantial numbar o! merchants. However on bis latest visit one marchant pboned the C. o! C. to question the man's ce- dentials. A caîl to the Toronto Beter Business Bureau reveal- ed that they were aware o! tbe inan's activities and that their investigations found no trace o! the supposed camp for chiu- 4 30/ dren. It would appear that in re- cent ycars Bowmanvihle mer- chants bave contributed a size- able amount o! money toi a non-existent gmoup, Ken Mor- ris, Chamber o! Commerce Se- cretary-Manager, said in com- menting on this particular case. Another incident occurred recently wban a merchant was parsuaded to axtend a consid- eable amount o! credit ta aa smoobh talking man. The mer- cbant's suspicions were la ttn aroused and when be checkad with tbe C. o! C. it was quick ]y establlsbed that the man beld no resourcas and was 'Ln beavy debt to a number o! Énarchants throughout this area. These and similar incidents couid easily ba avolded if the party involvad would only contact the Chamber o! Com- merce to ascertain the boncsby o! tha person they are dealing with. Neyer Dellvered Pnior to Christmas savaral local citizens wara persuadad by an ou-of-town sahesman to make cash deposits against Canada Permanent Debentures FOR TERMS 0F 1 TO 5 YEARS Debcfttures are issued ln registercd faim, or payable ta bearer iâ imounts of $100 and upwards. Authorized for the investîment of trust funds. Cal or wrie'for Debenure foldev CANADA PERMANENT merchandise that was to lie delivered in time for Christ- mas. When this merchandise failed to arrive thé C. of C. was contacted. It was discovered that the salesman's name and the name and address of the firm lie represented were non- existent. Tbe Chamber of Commerce bas received numerous reports similar to these. The afore- mentioned incidents are oniy typical examples of ther los and dissatisfaction experienc ed by rnany persons who have deait with unknown door toi door canvassers and saiesmen. These and similar incidents can be avoided if the person approached contacts the Chamn- ber of Commerce before mak- ing any commitments. The lo- cal chamber is affiliated with tbe Better Business Bureau and can check on the person within a few minutes by caliîng To- ronto. If it fz necessar for thP chamber to cail Toronto, the person enquiring is charged a small sum for the caUl. How. ever this nominal fee is con- siderabiy low cornpared to the amount lost by many people wbo are prey for these men. Bowmanville is a large enough area that almost any- thing imaginable along the line of products or services is avail- able in Town. Also if you deal locally you are dealing with men you know, trust and respect, Mr. Morris pointed out. Local mer- chants pay property taxes Rs everyone else and in addition tbey pay thousands o! dllars in business taxes to aid tbe town, where out-of-town mer- chants and salesmen pay noth- ing towards the support o! this community. If it is necessary to deal with out-of-town merchants the chamber advises you to cbeck on their standing with the Better Business Bureau, before mnaklng any commit- ments, otherwise you may lose your lnvestment.
