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. -- === Jack Scheirer ..ihnp4!ihuxi!jas2 AT&T-T, Lisle, IL
