Don’t buy silver and turquoise rings in Arizona!!

Back in the day of selling office products by phone in the 70's, if was really a premium selling, you know buy product and I'll give you a free XYZ, depending on what you bought.
    My customer was an American Indian community, and all he would buy was staples, pallet at a time, and of course "Mirco-wave" oven, the old 100lb units.
Anyway, here's the conversation:
me: Hey chief, why is it all you buy are staples? I've sent enough Mirco-waves for every wig-wam you got?
Chief: we use your staples in the process of our jewelry, we've got a cast iron pot we melt the staples down, the use a "Branding" tool that says "Sterling Silver" and make rings and sell them out on the Highway!
me: Don't you worry about people saying something?
chief: Not really, here on the reservation, by the time their fingers turn green, their pretty much gone 100's miles down the road!
me: Sounds great, I'm going to send you 3 pallets this time so you can make some awesome bracelets, and a beautiful 19" color TV OKAY 
have a great weekend

It was early in my Career, Tele-sales was the New New thing, I learned a lot about behavior, and closing sales, which I still use today, but but in a much different way.
