FRAUDULENT BARGAIN dALES. fchnraat ConrncUd by Dlnhoneit Dealers In Hoodwink the People. In recent years tho advertisements of I bankrupt" nnd "foreclosure" Mica ha-ve become quita common. Tho penchant among cortnin classes of people for taking advnntage of the necefslties of their fellow men to obtain somotliing for less than its real value is util ized by the promoters of these Bcliomcs to dispose of second class goods nt first class prices. Some of theso sharks havo nn admirable system to bettor enablo them to delude nml hoodwink the pub lic. Instead of, as was formerly the cus tom, dropping down Into a town, rent ing a room and at once advertising their great "bnukrupt" sale, thoy pursue a different msthod. A stool pigeon Is sent ahead, who rants a room in a city or town centrally located and puts in a stock of merchandise. Ho nnnounoes by hand bills widely distributed and through the columns of tho local papers that, like the country journalist, he has "como to stay." A week elapses, and another in dividual, representing himself as tho ngont of jobbers, putB in his appearance with a chattel mortgage on the stock, which he proceeds to foreclose. The first man, quite creitfnllen evi dently, gets himself interviewed by the newspaper reporter, nnd, after a recitol of his woes and misfortunes and a disser tation on tho excellence and good quali ties of the tnerchandiso which 1ms boon wrested from him by tho iron hand of the remorsoleis mortgagee, hies himself to some other town to repeat tho opera tion. The conspirntor who is left in chnrgo, with n display of enterprise wor thy of a better cause, iloeds tho sur rounding country ond neighboring towns with lurid posters announcing a "mort gagee's sale," with some account of the wonderful sacrifices to be made in order to realize the mortgngo indebtedness at the earliest practical moment, nnd cun ningly worded "locals," reciting the same story, find their way into the col umns of the local pnpers. This is tho bargain seeker s opportunity, and tho way tho "penny wise and pound foolish" population of town and country respond to the advertisement and load themselves down with shoddy goods, an tiquated clothing or worthless jowelry is caution. Persons who have been in debt to their home merchant since the mind of man runneth not back to the contrary bring their ready cash and plank it down to the mountebank in re turn for his doubtful wares. A few weeks' use fills the bosoms of the bargain seekers with vain regret as thoy contem plate the condition of their much vaunt ed bargains. These specious "sales seldom deceive tho sensible man or woman. A mo ment's consideration should convince atiy ono that if the merchandise offered was as represented, standard goods, be fore the local merchants and dealerB would allow them to bo disposed of in competition with their goods thoy would buy tho entire stock and take it out of tho market. The "agent, if the mort gage was bona fide, would bo glad to did poso of the entire stock in this manner in order to save time and expense. But such is not tho case. This class of goods ia manufactured expressly for those ir responsible concerns and is nevor found on the counters of reputable dealers. The gudgeons who bite at tho bait get hooked. Trade with established i mer chants ia the only safe rule, Serves Them Rleht. A house owner needs a lightning rod. Instead of oalling on a permanently lo cated dealer in lightning rods and em ploying him to do tho work, ho entors into a contract with the first shark that comes along and signs an agreement, which eventually turns up as a note in tho hands of an "innocent" party and mulcts him to the tune of several hundred dol lars, and the popular verdict is, "Served him right." A predilection for strangers and the mania for buying goods in other than the regular channels of trade seem to be pe culiar to a certain class of mercenary people of the community. They doubt the honesty and good intentions of their homo artisan or merchant, whom they havo known for years, and refuse to be lieve his assurances of fuir treatment, but turn a willing ear to the first smooth tougued swindler that comes along. This trait of human character is well known to tho smooth worker, aud the amounts realized each year through tho gullibility of their victims is greater than is general ly known. The farm implement and musical in strument agtmt comes from no man knows whither, makes a sale at a low price and levants. In a few days a man with a chattel mortgage on the snmo article arrives and wrests it from the buyer, and he has no recourso unless he can nnd tho agent. A dealer in this man's own locality stood ready and anx ious to sell lilm the same goods at a fair price, but he preferred patronizing a stranger with the vain hope of getting something for nothing. Ho got duped, and his happiness is not increased when his neighbors declare that it "served him right." Farming communities are now being visited by agents for grocery concerns and shoddy dry goods houses located in one of the large cities. The bargains they offer have the effect of gathering in scores of victims. In one locality visit ed, sugar by the barrel was offered at ft pric lower than it could be obtained from the refinery. There was, however, a condition to the salo that tho bnyer was ulso to buy a certain amount of spices and fancy groceries in order to make a bill large enough to justify the house iu making a shipment. The goods cane C. O. D., and much to the di6gust of the consignee everything but the sugar waa utteily unfit for use. Let these bargain seeiu rs tnko tho hard cash which they al...tys seem to have ready and waiting lor the slinrk and go to your home merchant and plank it down, aud you will find that, taking Into consideration the quality ot tho merchandise, be sells much cheaper than the traveling vender.
