NEW YORK R--Is the door.to-
door salesman vanishing from the
American scene?
Is the modern descendant of the
old Yankee peddler facing into OBJ
livion?
no." say the companies which
depend on these people for dis
tribution of their products. eff any
thing, their number is increasing"
Proponents of direct selling -
the direct distribution of merchan-
disc from factory to home, profess
to see a new opportunity for the
time-tested doorben pushing tech
nique in the current swing toward
buyers market.
Time was when a certain seq
ment of retail opinion believed the
door-to-door salesman was on the
way out victim of television.
According to this theory, televised
demonstrations of consumer pro-
ducts and televised sales talks
which could be viewed by the
housewife in her home would make
the home visits of the door-to-door
vendor unnecessary.
Today, however, TV is being
used to promote direct selling.
The Electrolux Co., easily the
nations biggest manufacturer of
vacuum cleaners, employs 10000
door-to-door salesmn.
Avon Products Inc, cosmetics
manufacturer, had sales last year
of more than SIS, 800, 900. It's prod
ucts are distributed to American
homes by $4,000 Independent sales
representative, many of them
housewives. I'VE haven't deviated
from this system in 66 years."
says George X. Graves Jr., Avon
vice president.
Then there's the ubiquitous Full
Ter brush man. backbone of the
huge sales organization of Fuller
Brush Co. of Hartford, Conn. A
host of other house to house
vendors peddle everything from
lingerie to tailored suits. razor
blades to washing machines. kitch-
enware to sterling silver, seeds to
fire extinguishers.
Direct selling has come a long
way since the old, Yankee peddler
sold tinware, clocks, brooms,
knives and cloth to frontier fam
lilies.
Want to give a party? Some
companies will send man to your
home with all the fixings for a
full-course dinner, including flow
ers. 1t doesn't cost you a nickel.
All you have to do is invite your
friends and let the salesman show
them the company's floor wax or
furniture polish, pots and pans or
plastic aprons. The salesman cooks
and serves the meal and washes
the dishes.
A constant headache to the direct
selling people is the bad name
given their profession by the &C.
casional dishonest salesman, and
the consequent enactment of local
laws and ordinances which restrict
direct selling. Some 20 years ago
the town of Green River, Wyo.,
adopted an ordinance making il a
misdemeanor for a person to visit
a private home for the purpose of
selling merchandise without having
been invited. Similar ordinances
have since been declared consti-
titional in half a dozen states. I'M
constitutional in II others.
The National Association of Di-
rect Selling Companies contends
that direct selling 1.-The oldest
form of retail distribution. and also
the newest" is here to stay.

EVEN UNTO
THE GRAVE
POEM OF THE WEEK

any man could be;
1 knew humiliation, 1 felt the
white mans scorn,
And I bowed to segregation,
from the day that I was born.
I was taught all men were equal,
beneath the skin, they were
the same,
Yet, when I tried to share their
joys, white men put me to
shame,
I went to school, for Negroes,
only, my pleasures they were
few;
There were not many places l
could 60, so little could do.
Living conditions were nothing
extra, family wages not too
high,
And my ache for better things
in life sometimes made me cry.
For l knew that if my skin were
white, I could open that magic
door,
AS did all the foreign immigrants
who came from distant shores.
I knew that if my skin were white,
my world would open, wide;
And the freedom of my nation,
I could share, with pride.
Yet, 1 loved my country, and 1
prayed some day to see
The Negro as an Equal in my
Land of Liberty.
So, to bring that day closer,
answered my country's call;
1 enlisted in her service to break
down that Racial Wall.
I wasn't old enough for drafting,
hardly more than a boy;
Even though my skin was brown,
I was still my parents joy.
My brothers had been in service,
but enlisted once again,
And we all prayed if we shed
blood it would not be in vain.
We knew that there were commies,
within our own fair land,
Who were feeding on Race
Hatred, gaining strength, on
every hand.
But regardless of our heartaches,
we never questioned why
We still revered "Old Glory,
with proud tears in our eye.
And so we sailed to battle, with
a fervent silent prayer,
That we would be as equals when
we came back from "Over
There"
I knew the fear of every soldier,
who faces death on every side;
When I saw my fallen buddies,
in the muck and mire I cried;
Side by side, I fought, with white
boys, in the same earth our
blood was shed;
And races knew no barriers, on
that battlefield of dead.
There was no segregation, in these
screaming shells of death!
And to One God, to One Creator,
we ALL prayed with dying
breath.
Then, came the day, when we came,
Home each to his own state;
I had fought and died for Peace,
yet, came home, in death
to HATE! =.
I shed my blood, I gave my life,
my soul consigned to God,
Yet my body lay unburied be-
cause of segregated sod
I cannot rest in peace, my soul is
sick with shame; r..
I did not ask@for glory, did
not ask for fame.
I only asked, with my life's blood,
that MY America would be
Free from Racial Hatred, OUR
Land of Liberty!!
Perhaps, when I am buried, I may
still come to my own;
I may oercome the barriers be-
meath my resting stone;
And, in the halloWed earth of
death, Brown Buddies, who r
follow me,
Mov root in noaco hnnoath that
