She outlined some ways in which a consumer can be more careful before he makes purchase. • "Always try before you buy. There are no standards to regulate quality and it is your resppnsibility to check out the quality and give the item a thorough in- vestigation," Miss Murphy said, AsA an example to that type of investigation, Miss Murphy told the group she took a book iota store where she thought she saw a chair she wanted, and sat down in the chair and • read for 20 minutes. "I felt a little foolish-, but as a consumer, it is my right to check out the item before I buy it. I bought the chair because I found it to be very comfortable," she said. , Miss Murphy also ex - orkmen at floating,* Feed Mill In!, fourth of a $300,.$0 four -s110 addition.The ea cam- pleted silos stand in the backgroun. (News -Record photo) 3s300,000.silo addition at Fleming's Feed Mill Along with a $300,000 ad- dition at Fleming's Feed Mills in Clinton, have come some changes which were designed in consideration of their neighbors. Fleming's is in the process of completing a four -silo addition on the site. Three of the silos have been built and workers are just finishing the fourth. The silos are 110' high by, 30' wide and each have a 60,000 bushel capacity. The addition makes a total 01 15 silos at the mill. Together, they hold a total of 650,000 bushels of corn. As well as the silos, another gas-fired corn dryer has been added, making a total of two, and, the mill was painted. Bill Fleming said the reason for all the changes was more corn in the area. He said this year's corn crop started coming in last Thursday and added the crop looks very good this year. Asked if the company would increase its staff because of the additions. Mr. Fleming said, "just during harvest time." In consideration of their neighbors, a nearby trailer park, the feed mill has built a bentent block wall around the dryer to cut down on noise, Mr_ Fleming said. The company is also in the process of installing a dust - collection system. The 35,000 addition is being installed at the receiving Iag or the mill. It should cut down con- siderably on the amount of dust, Mr. Fleming said.

When asked about con- tracts, Miss Murphy said that once a person has signed a contract, it is a binding agreement and nothing can be done to retract it. "The only case where you have any time to cancel a contract, is when the contract is signed in your own home. The consumer then has 48 hours cooling off period and can cancel, by registered mail witlen 48 hours, That legislation was put through to give people a chance to think about what they have done, if they get a high pressure sales talk in their own home," Miss Murphy said.
