Is this a valid offer or just a "come on?" We understand from the Ontario Swimming Pool Association that companies who advertise in this manner are NOT members of the association and consequently do not adhere to the code of ethics as established by the association. Incidentally, this association has an excellent little pool buyers guide book, which they will be happy to send out FREE to anyone. Write the O.S.P.A. Box 4501, Stn. C. London. Ontario.

They arrived on the eleventh day but lo and behold were NOT the same as the ones I had ordered. They picked them up 3 days after I phoned to complain, and now after waiting six weeks they phoned to tell me that they can't get me the . tables I wanted. They've tried hard to give me something else, but I don't want anything else, just my deposit back. We certainly agree that this whole thing is quite ridiculous, because when we talked to their manager, he stated most emphatically, that your cheque for $20 had been mailed two days earlier. You finally received it 15 days later! vOU'RE - WHISTLI 4G IN THE DARK .. . Jf_1J Jar IF YCU THINK THAT HEART ATTACK AND STROKE HIT ONLY THE OTHEP FELLOW'S FAMILY.
