Agreements or documents urged upon you for quick decision -and signature have often turned out to have hidden self-locking clauses in them. Perhaps these suggestions for reflection may prove to be a pennyworth of protection worth a thousand dollars' worth of cue. The "come-early," hurry-up, rapid-firing guns of single lots of thousands of articles, with two per, cent big values and 98 per cent or more than the usual values elsewhere, may be looked upon with suspicion.
