The one that stuck in my mind was B.L.Mellinger & Co of Los Angeles.
His was an import deal, as in you imported stuff and sold it, or maybe he imported it, but anyway there was a pageful of interesting things at ridiculous prices.
Does anyone remember the mag "Let's Pretend" that displayed the ad? I wasn't old enough to read back in 1950.

Do kids do that anymore? Hell no. I bought my first cool bicycle selling American Greetings cards door to door when I was 10 or 11. The razor blade thing though was a scam. The dude's name is your first clue if your math skills weren't good enough to figure out what might be the commission on $4 sales. Mom was right. Besides only morons would trust a Japanese blade over Gillette.

I just watched Beaver and Wally trying to sell cheap perfume to earn a movie projector that was so crummy Ward bought them a better one for trying so hard. Our favorite show on MeTV.
