Can anyone time me anything about International Home Marketing, Inc.
They seem to be a 'Direct Purchasing' (no middle-man) company with
offices in Illinois and Missouri, if not elsewhere.  I got
a phone spiel followed by a mailed invitation to become a member.
What makes me wary are these lines from the letter that came with
the invitation;

	When you come in, please allow AMPLE TIME so that
	we may acquaint you with a complete explanation of
	our SYSTEM...   [emphasis mine]

and

	...if there is a spouse, it is necessary that both
	partners attendin order to qualify.


Should I expect a hard sell?  Is anyone out there a member
of this group?  Is it worthwhile to become a member or must
I buy large volumes to break even? (I assume there will be
something like a annual membership fee.)  Any and all
answers appreciated.
