NEW METHOD OF CONTACT Door-bell ringing magazine solici tors are in town with, to say the least, a new method of contact. With the statement they believe the party contacted is entitled to one of the free sample copies being distributed for advertising purposes, they proffer such ccpy. Later, they ask the recip ient to pay "postage" or mailing' costs on certain magazines for a year, and if refused, request the return of their "sample" copy. There are places in Plattsmouth where one may subscribe for desired periodicals at lowest subscription rates and when the door-bell ringing solicitor conies around and "gives" you a sample copy, you are within your rights refusing to return it. A little of this sort of treatment would soon stop the slick-tongued boys who pester housewives, not only in maga zine but other lines as well. Strangers do not come to town to "give" you anything if they can help it, and if, perchance, one does, just keep it.
