(Found) Looking for the Title of a 50s or early 60s sci fi book

[Msezda]

Looking for the title of a sci fi book I read in about 1962. In the story, high-quality, indestructible products that are absolutely free start appearing in the marketplace, angering manufacturers that are losing business. In a government search to find out where these products are coming from, they discover that there is a class of people who are harmless, but have exceptional characteristics. A test is developed to identify these people, who are then hounded and killed. The main character discovers that he is one of these people and is on the run with a woman who also has these characteristics. In the end they are able to escape the persecution and cross over into another world, where there is peace and harmony. I think the book may have been published as part of a book club. At the same time I read Costigan's Needle by Jerry Sohl, but I don't think the book was written by him. Anyone have an idea what the title of this book might be? Cheers

It sounds like Ring Around the Sun by Clifford Simak published in 1953 . A very good book.
