Bought Any Gold Bricks Lately?
In the June issue of Harper's magazine -the
distinguished historian and biographer, Fletcher
Pratt, has an entertaining and eye-opening arti
cle describing some of the newer advances that
have been made in fleecing a gullible public of
some of its hard-earned cabbage. The grifter, Mr.
Pratt observes, has gone "Legit."
. Noting that the market for the sale of "gold
bricks has been dormant for some time, the au
thor suggests that there'll be a boom in that com
modity soon, despite the best effbrts of chambers
of commerce, better business bureaus and other
agencies established to protect the sucker from
himself.
If, as you wonder how you can augment your
income to meet the apparently ever-mounting cost
of Jiving, your eye chances on some fabulousvBus
iness Opportunity" you'd better be chary before
plunking down some hard earned cash in your
investment that will bring easy riches.
For example, one of the most popular and
legitimate rackets now in operation is the ad-dress-envelopes-at-home
plan, you answer the ad
which says you can earn $50 a week addressing
envelopes at home, and this is what you'll get: A
3-page letter telling the recipient how much mon
ey can be made addressing envelopes at home.
Send $5 for an instruction book. - This will be a
32-pnge pamphlet accompanied by an order blank
for 200 more of the 3-page letters and envelopes,
both for another $5. The addresser is now in busi
ness for himself.
Another that lures the unwary are promoters
of the vending machine racket. These cute char-

acters usually operate in pairs, Mr. Pratt says,
and high pressure some sucker with a little nest
egg into buying a dozen or so vending machines
and giving him an exclusive territory to sell chlor
ophyll pills. The rnachines, which cost perhaps
as much as $20, are sold to the sucker for $100,
and the gross for chlorophyll pills somehow is
nearer $6 a month, rather than the promised $50
per month per machine. The machines have a nas
ty habit of getting out of order, and the grifter
has an equally nasty habit of fading from view
when the inevitable complaints start to aceumu
late. Every year nearly every, town in the country
is visited by vendors who are loaded with English
