It is a human trait to want to
see before we buy. When we
were kids we snapped knives
"sight unseen," but the novelty
of this manner of transacting
business loses it's attractiveness
when we consider that imple-

not an every day purchase.
One of our jobs in conducting
our business in this community
is to set up the machines we sell
