This forum enumerat- ed several cases where they were taken in, e.g., chimney builders, roof painters, watch salesmen and sewing machine companies. Some of these enumerated were well- known firms. Theft has occurred as a result of letting strangers learn the set-up of the homes. Ac- tion to be taken should be to warn people to buy only and do busi- ness in their own •home towns. Communities should advertise "Buy At Home" slogans, where one gets the best deal, and all peddlers should be licensed. Gov- ernment has greatest control posi- tion, the forum felt.
