INVITATIONS OF SUPERIOR coaMoDITIEs1
Among the many dishouesties of trade which
the moral sense of the community is chilled upon
to suppress, we would particularly notice most
perncious and infamous practice adopted by up-
scrupulous dealers Of initiating and counterfeitng
the exterior appearance and precautionary labels
of popular drugs, med camenta, md other articles
Of personal consumption, and thus, by seiring5up-
on the well acquired reputation of an enterprisng
trader. palming off most destructive and worthless
compounds, to the sore detriment not only Of the
consumer, bnt to the character of the man who
has expended thousands of dollars INFRINGING the
genuine article into esteem and demand. These
petty larceny thieves are the hest of all honorable
dealers and traders and the trade is rs muchhigh-
way robbery as the violent appropriation Of their,
neighbor's purse in fact, they are beneath the
burglar and higbwnyman in dgnity-for these
latter felons exhibit bravery or reckiessness Of
character in nomise distinguishing the mercantile
assassin who stabs in the dirk. And ought they
not be rewarded with punishment commensurate
with the cowardice of their crime? Wewere led
to these remarks by accidentally observing spu-
rious counterfeit Of Udolpho Wolfe's Scbiedam
Schnapps. The labels were initiated perfectly,
with the slight addition of few letters to plead
technical avoidance Of the law against countcrfsi-
ting; the bottles were very similar, and every
thing carefully prepared to impose upon careless
purchaser Now is not the man who perpetrated
this fraud felon, robber? Assuredly he is;
for ns Mr.. Wolfe has expended large sums TO bring
his genuine imported schnapps into popular de-
mand, that demand may be justly considered q
part Of his capital in trade and fellow Stealing
part Of his reputation is MS much Of thiefus IL
he had stolen barrel of his schnapps in bulk
And to this crime he adds further os of defrau-
ding the community BY giving them ruinous ar
tcle for the money they intended to e1pend for q
commodity in which they had confidence And.
further, every man who participates Indirectly in
the fraud, by selling spurious articles Is as mnch
of an offender as the principal who planned the
imposition. The remedy of Mr.. Wolfe should lie
in his holding all concerned mp to the contempt Of
the community thus swindlcd by Interpretations,
and unconsciousy imposed upon iy their noxious
composition We trust that, Mr. Wolfe viii OBJ
tain names, not only Of the coHcoctors Of these
counterfeits but o: every man Offering themsfor
sale, and then publish them to the world; FOR his
own reputation and the health of the community
demand that all parties should be nailed to the
pillory of popular execration.
From the New ferk Dispateh. y
Az INFAMOUS BUsISEss.-w When an euterprising
man strikes out n new business TO the establish
mcnt of which he gives his industry, time; talents
and pecuniary means, can anything be more con-
temptible than to have another steal in and under
spccious pretrxts, hold out to the public inferi-
or article and end TO obtain their patronage!
Pray, what difference is there, so farms the hon.
esty Of the thin. is concerned, between purIoin-
ing tine business BY which citizcnt hopes tornske
his bread and stealing the bread i,seff2 A COM
mon thief, if he takes without leave; b6weyer hum
cry, loaf of bread from bakers shop, is appre-
hcnded and condemned to the penitentiary for dar-
ing in a surrept;tious manner to apease his appe-
tito; but pnt respectable looking coat 6n his
hack and few dollars in his pocket, and he may,
with impunity, nay, even with the applause Of bis
fellows, by knaycrg, forgery or other infamous
means, take the business of an hopest man from
him, and gounscathed Of justice All tfisis wrong.
Some years since a gentleman Of this city TUdol-
pho Wolfe) introduced to the United States anedi-
Gated article Of gin. which was highly approved
by professional gentlemen as a superior ,onlc and
deobstruent, and the knowledge of which be,
by advertisement and otherwise. disseminated
throughout the country. So soon rs tricksters,
who pass in the business community as honest
men, saw that Mr.. Wolfe was likely to have band
some returns for the time and money which he
had expended, they set about forging his. labels
and palming off upon the people 'detestable aud
poisonous compounds which they have the hardi-
hood to call '.Schiedam schnnpps" In some in
stances they have gone so far as tc put Wolfe's
uame to their villainons liquids. As this horde
arc growing bold in their rascalites il is time the
public in town and country were put upon their
guard Consumers should be sure that th y par-
chase tie genuine article or else their health may
be rreparnbly injured by using the. horrible stuff
that unscrupulous men, because they can buy it
cheap, will offer as the genuine article. Pure
Schcdam Schnapps eau only be obtained at the
stores of respectable merchants and druggists, in
town and country, and at the establishment Of
Udulpho Wolfe, Nos. 1s, 90 and22 Beaver Street,
in this city, where it is gottenup exclusively. We
think it duty which Mr.. Wolfe owes to himself
and the community to publish, by name,. thesras.
Gals who are thus attempting to defroud both hin,
and those who would be his customers. He should
not permit his mojcsty to hold him back from
making sorghteous an expose.
