I just had an encounter with a profession I thought was extinct — door-to-door-salesmen. Two men in a truck with a freezer in the back just drove up to my house to try and sell me frozen meat. They had a nicely printed brochure for “The Cattle Exchange” listing meat prices and contact information. After telling them that I wasn’t going to buy any today, I was told I could order from their website or call. The man then asked me for the brochure back. As I came back into the house I wondered how he thought I was going to order if I didn’t have information. I *think* I remembered the URL correctly, but there is no site there. A bit of research seems to indicate that they are a rather shady business. There can’t be much legitimate profit doing door-to-door meat sales in rural Arkansas during the day.
