"GRANGERs BEWARE ~

Under the above heading the Chicago
Tribune cautions the people against pur-
chasing anything of Montgomery, Ward
4 Co., and says they "dead-beats. The
Tribune says
After sending out couple OF hundred
thousand circulars, at cost Of a couple Of
hundred dollars or less, the victimizer sits
in his room and awaits responses, which,
strange to say, in tight times particular
", come in in such numbers that in fort
night he has his $500 back, together with
very handsome margin Of profit Then
he starts another huge benevolent scheme,
with different Post Office box as his
headquarters, addresses different class of
people to those previously tempted, and
cleans out its fools Of their spare funds.
The safety Of these operators lies in the
fact that out Of thousand men who have
been duped it is hard to find one who cares
to expose the swindle, and necessarily his
own stupidity at the same time.
We know nothing ofthe firm alluded to,
but the mOdus operdndi described is the
familiar one used by swindlers, and the
safest way for farmers is not to deal with
strangers at all. 1t is safer to deal with
men at hume.
