Protectipe Service
Point Racket Artists
Invade Montana

magazine subscription rackets was
published under this protective serv-
ice heading. Montana and Wyoming
farmers and ranchers were warned
that many of the old prewar rackets
were once again going full tilt in the
midwest farm area.
Among the rackets mentioned was
the old point" method. In this sys-
tenn the salesperson plays on the
sympathy of the sucker by saying
that they get S many points to-
ward a scholarship in some school
for every subscription sold.
It Happened in Montana
The day after reading this story
in Montana Farmer-Stockman, a
Gallatin county woman relates this
story:
Little did I think of ever being
caught by one of the hard pressing
statesmen mentioned in your story.
But as I came out of a store and up
to the car after shopping in Bel
grade, / saw n at work. My boy,
who did the driving, had been
pushed to the other side of the front
seat by a fast talking, cute salesgirl.
She was trying to sell him maya
zines to get points so she could go
to nursing school, I did not trust
her from the start, as she talked too
much and was saying the same thing
v e and over again.
after reading your story in the
protective service column, I decided
to let you know that the same sales
racketeers are at work here too"
In Sweet Grass County. Too
And another reader in Sweet
Grass county reports the following
experience:
To-day at my home a boy came
to the door and wanted me to buy
a magazine subscription so he could
get 400 points to get bonds. He said
the Junior Chamber of Commerce
was sponsoring the contest. He also
said he was a resident of this area.
II told him I wasn't interested,
but he persisted and I practically
had to order him out of the house
before he would leave. I then
checked with the Chamber of Com
merce and found they had sponsored
no such contest.
Later, when I was coming home
in the car I spotted one fellow at
another door. I watched and soon
a car came along and picked him
up. The car had an Idaho license.
There were girls with the crew, too.
/ learned later that one claimed she
was from Roundup. They all told
different stories.
"Tm very glad I'd been reading
your articles about these rackets.
Some of the folks in town are sure
ly getting fed up on these sales
tricks
Montana Farmer-Stockman's Pro-
tective service wishes to repeat that
there are many good statesmen who
base their selling on a quality prod
act without resorting to such tricks
These men and women deserve your
friendship, but anyone who is visit
ed by racketeers should report then
to local law enforcement officer
and also notify Protective Service
