The fourth time I wore them one broke at the clasp. My sister then relurned them to the store where she had bought them only to be told that they, carried no guarantee as they were originally sold as being fragile merchandise. I was proud of those earrings and took good care of them so I feel that this earring must have been faul- ty to begin with, so wonder if you people can convince the store of this? After our call the store agreed to take a look at the earring in question and came to the conclusion that the clasp had indeed been a faulty one. Hence our reader received a brand new set of earrings. Dtathe :hack' Authorized Dealer C-B's 282 Main St. 235-2261 STEREOS • TOWERS • AERIALS • TROPHIES GORD'S TROPHIES & ENGRAVING Last year we paid out over $2,000 to have vinyl siding put on our house and since then the repair men have been back at our place so much our neighbours must be thinking they are permanent boarders. The trouble is that the siding keeps on loosen- ing. The men fix up a troubl- ed spot and a short time later it's the same trouble in another place. This job is supposed to be guaranteed but we feel the job was not done properly in the first place, and that it should be completely done over. Will you contact this corn- pony on our behalf? The manager admits he's had a lot of trouble with poor help but has promised to send a crew out to this job when he has one available. Jack & Mare's 235-2444 HIGHWAYS 83 & 4 EXETER Almost a year ago just now we bought a combina- tion refrigerator-freezer which carried a twelve- month warranty. Well since just about "day one" we've had trouble with a faulty seal at the bottom of the door. When we noticed it getting worse we notified the dealer about our problem and he promised to get in touch with the service representative. That's quite a few months ago but we still haven't had • any action, and if this isn't repaired soon our warranty will have expired and I have no intention of paying out money for something that wasn't our fault in the first place. Can IMPACT help to speed things up please? The missing part has now arrived and your local ser- viceman should have it to in- stall, "anytime now."
