 Warn of Petldlers The chamber of commerce, through President A. A. Macleod and l. J, Birnbaum Of the mer- chants committee, today warned tovnspeoplc against house to house agents. These agents. the chamber officials said, set out from cities in the spring and by the use Of high pressure salesmanship succeed in forcing upon numerous household CTS articles which they do not want | or need. These articles. offered as great bargains. often turn out to be Of inferior material or Of higher cost than could have been purchased n1 local stores. it was said. It is not fair to the merchant who maln- tans year round establishment. Mir, Macleod said. to have his pos sible customers purchase from i'nerant peddlers of questionable character.
 In many cases the agents are honest men and represent reputable 1 firms which do their business by di- rect contact with the consumers. In others, however. it was pointed out. 1 t. agents merely offer small ar- ticles in order 10 gain entrance to i houses and look over the layout with view to returning later and hurglarizing the places. Great care in dealing with agents was urged hy the chamber officials. At the recent chamber meeting Mir. Bingham suggested that all house to house agents be required to purchase licenses, and this proposal may be brought officially to the mo- tice of the selec'men and it's adop- tion urged. Merchants pay taxes. it was pointed out. and they feel that the agents should pay something to the town, while the issuing Of li- ccnses would allow the selectmen to check up on them all.
