- Joel, get the facts straight. Amway does not do anything (repeat - anything)
- to conceal themselves. In fact, they take out full page ads in many
- national magazines - including Time, Newsweek, Ebony, etc.
-
- Some Amway distributors (on the other hand) do conceal the corporation
- that they are affiliated with. No argument there, and no backing to
- this type of business practice either.
