TELEPHONE ADVERTISING.
from Mrs. S. N. M, WashingtonJ
In answer to Mrs. v. c.. Airing
ton referring to telephone adver-
tising. There are many Of us, who
because Of some physical handicap.
are unable to 60 out to work.
Rather than become a burden to
the tax payers. we prefer to earn
our own living, and in some in
stances support other members of
our family who are either too
young or too old to work. by means
of telephone sales work. Many
stores employ those who are handi-
capped to sell their products and
many house wives are grateful for
this service as they are unable to
60 out shopping because of small
children. In my own case I am a
widow with young daughter and
bad heart. I have a magazine
agency in my home and far from
regarding myself as a public nui-
sance. I believe I am a real help
to my customers as I keep them
posted on special offers, dates of
expiration. suggestions for gifts,
mail gift cards on gift subscrip-
tions and in general try to make
myself useful to the busy house
wife. Most of us steer away from
the phone at meal times and most
of my customers are pleased when
I call as I do not waste their time
or mine with unnecessary conver-
sation.
I am a tax payer and property
owner and my daughter is well
thought Of and respected in her
group. If everyone who is secure in
their own little world regarded my
work as an annoyance there would
be many more of us who would be
burdens on the public instead of
self supporting and respected citi-
zens.
