Some long-time subscribers took note of the merchandise and the company has been inundated with letters. One customer wrote: "The intimate massagers are certainly not what will uplift the youth of America but instead will lead them to be perverted pleasure seekers. Please rethink what you are doing." Another cried: "I am one of the women who respects her God-given human femininity. These items are offensive to me." But! The "intimate solutions" offered by the catalog are selling. "It turns out they wanted these products, and they spoke with their wallets," says Cabot Orton, whose father owns the store. [AP]
