der is planted pretty solidly,” said the Bolling Dollar to
his friend, the Dollar Greenback. „
“ I know how one o f the biggest mail prder houses
started. Roberts was a watch peddler up in W isconsin
and he was broke. He had to get to Milwaukee,, so he
put up his own watch as security fo r a ticket with the
station agent, whom w all call Stacy. l> e ticket man
was shrewd enough te tell the watch fo r tw ice the price
o f the ticket.
-
“ Stacy liked the game, so he got Roberta to ex-
press a dozen watches to fictitious names at his station.
Each watch was billed st $25, the bill showing that $10
had already been paid. Stacy, acting as express agent,
unloaded these at $15 each, fo r the people who bought
them thought It a great bargain. They didn’t know
in s watches cost $3.60 each. Finally the railroad fired
Stacy.
.
“ The pair o f schemers opened up in Milwaukee and
bought 1,000 watches at $3 each. AH were sent to fake
in Illinois, Wisconsin and Kansas., When the
agent reported them eg undelivered, they wrote
him some mistake had been made, but as $10 had. al­
ready been paid on the watch they would pay him $2
commission fo r selling it fo r $15.
— . . . “ That scheme netted them $10,000, Next they
bought a lot o f child’« furniture, and advertised it so
as to lead people to believe they would get a full set o f
furniture fo r $5. Foolish folks all over the country
bit on that, but they kept within the law in their ad­
vertising, so they went unpunished.
“ Both partners are out o f it now. Stacy has m ore
money than he knows what to do w ith, while Roberts,
on the other hand, was^roridng fo r $18 a week some
tim e ago, having been forced out o f business. Yet the
house they started is doing millions o f dollars’ worth o f
business all over the United Statpa. Roberts has al­
ready ¿ o n e back where he belongs; how long can such a ■
house continue to live off short-sighted or trustful peo­
ple?
'A short while ago that house bought 3,000 faicy-
clee, all alike, fo r $&50, each. They devised three d if-
nd names, sad sold one brand at $1625, one
a i $12.60 and ona at $12.7$, all the machines being
