They were most famous for the pink Cadillacs awarded for high sales. I've heard the person didn't get to keep the car but I don't know if that's true.<BR/><BR/>I sold Avon; my sister-in-law sold Mary Kaye. She did very well; I didn't have much luck even with Avon which usually sells itself.Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283823157675990935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-37711993392023629262007-11-08T14:43:00.000+00:002007-11-08T14:43:00.000+00:00Many thanks Maz!Many thanks Maz!Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-88290775193287413612007-11-08T14:17:00.000+00:002007-11-08T14:17:00.000+00:00All fixed now!!All fixed now!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-68653493516131262312007-11-08T09:26:00.000+00:002007-11-08T09:26:00.000+00:00Maz: thank you for doing that.

He sold my mother mops and cleaning solutions --wonderful, since she didn't drive when I was young. <BR/><BR/>I also remember the "beauty" ladies who'd make the rounds.
