Earners warned
of practices used
by two companies
The Huron Federation of
Agriculture reports several
complaints from farmers about
the practices of two steel building
companies. The companies
concerned are "Wonder Steel
Buildings" , and "Canadian
Building Systems".
The procedure of these firms is
to ask for a whopping big down -
payment when signing the
contract. Then, when delivery is
made of the first shipment, a
further payment is demanded to
be in the form of a certified
cheque. This, before the ship-
ment is unloaded and can be
checked for completeness.
Farmers who balked at paying
‘Vvithout being able to check had
the shipment withdrawn with the
companies refusing to return the
big down -payment. Others who
accepted the conditions found
upon checking that essential
items were missing. Promises to
correct the trouble have so far
not been fullfilled. In other cases
the company claims that the
ordered steel is in short supply
and will substitute colored steel
at a higher cost.
Farmers are advised not to pay
more than *100 as a sign of good
faith when signing a contract, as
is the practice of most bona fide
companies, and to refuse to pay
unless the load is thoroughly
checked for completeness and
damage.
The Huron Federation of Agri-
culture so far has received five
complaints. The parent Ontario
organization at the latest count
had 17 complaints.
