assortment of novelties, notions, gifts —
about 16 in-demand items, all irresistibly
priced from $1 to $2 or so.
Your members visit family, friends and
neighbors door to door on friendly Tom-
Wat calls ... open their Showcases ...
display the items . . . and take eager
orders!
People choose what they really want
from Tom-Wat Showcases. Something
for every taste, so most customers
choose 4 or 5 items . . . your profits
climb fast.
There's no complicated selling — your
members take orders only. At the end of
the order-taking period, Showcase items
are used to fill orders, and additional
items needed are ordered from Tom-Wat.
No risk, because you get your Showcases
on consignment. Return any unsold items
(if any) for full credit.
