In the Warren Tribune, We find a
lengthy account of the manner in which
the Clothes line Swindler is carried on
We condense for the benefit of our far
mer friends particularly, as they are the
ones the operators usually attempt to
swindle. The operation occurred some
months ago, and was after this fashion;
An agent of the ''Hallow Coble Manu-
featuring Company, of Hornellsville, n
Y, o Preston Corresponding Secretary
called on Mr. Blank and telling him he
was an influential citizen whose favor
he desired, offered to make him a pres
ent of one hundred feet Of the clothes
line wire, and of which he gave a very
glowing description. Barkis' was will
ing, and the result was he acceded to the
agents wishes and accepted the
valuable present. He was then consti-
tuted a local agent, and to oguard against
mistakes was requested to write his
name and address ON the margin of a
circular. All of which he did, and the
agent departed with many assurances OF
esteem. Some days after 220O feet of
clothes line arrived, and Mr. Blank took
it home blessing the munificence of the
manufacturing company. But soon af-
ter bill arrived in the hands of another
agent, wherein Mr. Blank was charged
with 2200 feet less one hundred feet free
or total of S105, and that the agent
wanted very much. Mr. Blank protest
ed. and the agent growing excited pre-
sented Mr. Blanks order for the same
signed with his own name. The agent
would not be put off and must have the
money or note, and note for $105 he
obtained. And now Mr. Blank is going
to contest the payment, and all because
he would not pay attention 10 the warn
ings of the press TO refuse TO sign his
name to any paper presented by stran-
ger We trust all our readers will re-
member the moral. Deal only with
your home merchants whom you know
to be reliable and thus avoid such snares
set by sharpers to catch the unwary.
