When 1 10 city police occi a onally raid such a fraudulent firm they wid tell about find ing thoasinds of letters from thousands of silly fools, all containing money, showing how profitable these confidence men fiad the business of culling other-;. One shoa'd rather be willing to pay a reasonable prico at home to n responsi ble de iler, where there would be recourse. 1 h in to s-nd h-ird earned money to any rirai that sends out a g.ittering adver tisement, it stands to reason that a man will get the value of his goods, or you don't get them.
