But this was over 10 years ago, in Wisconsin. Some friends and I, hippies all, were trying to rebuild a trashed-out farm house. We were looking for gas heating supplies, which we found at Sears. The total bill for it all was over $600 (1973 $), and we had very little money. But the salesman must have been desperate for a commission, because he suggested buying on credit. I told him I had no job or decent credit history, but he said to put *HIS NAME* down as a reference! I got the card. And we did a very nice job on the house. I still have the card. -- *** *** JE MAINTIENDRAI ***** ***** ****** ****** 28 Feb 84 [9 Ventose An CXCII] ken perlow ***** ***** (312)979-7261 ** ** ** ** ..ihnp4!ihuxq!ken *** ***
