Fifty years ago, Clarice Poler of Colome started selling Avon products.
Avon is the world famous manufacturer and seller of cosmetics and personal care products.
For the Colome woman it was a change to start an exciting career.
She started selling on Nov. 8, 1966 and has no plans to retire. However, this month she will celebrate a milestone with Avon.
Her sister, Dorothy Rohde sold Avon and was moving to town. She asked Clarice if she would like to take over her job. Poler explained she received encouragement from several people to take on the new job.
She was assigned a certain area to sell and had between 40 to 50 customers. Mainly working in the rural area. She would drive and visit the women, showing them samples of new products and taking their orders.
