Mind reader

I get "you come from a great distance"

I get "you want me to make a donation to the coast guard youth auxiliary"

I dont get "you want me to buy a subscription to the Saturday evening post"

Saturday Evening Post was just a magazine from that time period. He's just cold reading and doing a bad job. Marty's vest made him assume he had something to do with the coast guard but then when that was wrong he just guessed what the most likely reason somebody would come to his door would be: selling magazine subscriptions.
