THE NEW ARRIVAL
His Three Months Limited to Three
Dayx

T. D. Creed, Of London, England, O,
The-young-man-not-ahaid-of- his cheek
left Thursday morning ssThe boys" he
said, had called for more goods down at
Fargo ard thereabouts; they had sold
out and he would run down and supply
the demand. There were FIVE Of those
imaginary boys. They were making eek
traordinary and wonderful bargains" and
the people there seemed to enjoy them
better than the Bismarckers did. Sever
al informal interviews with business men
Of the town may have influenced Greed
in his belief that stthe boys were getting
short. The most prominent characters
tic Of Creed is his ability to lie The
woolens he advertised as coming fsm
England he confessed to the Custom offi-
Ger never saw England and were all
American make. His czlicoes, domes-
tics, sheetings and ply ingram carpets
had not arrived, but would be in by the
mkt train. He told Wiley, when he
left, that he supposed they would be
coming after those carpets and czIcoes
for two months but Wiley could tell
them as he had, ''they are still coming"
The wool cass:meres for 15 cents yard
were confined to one piece, three yards
long, and that he avoided selling.
Instead of25 cents yard he sold them
for $3.50 and $3.50 and made two and
three hundred per cent on sale. The
sale continued two days and not three
months as "the new ARRIVAL had an
nounced. The Paisley shawls- too, were
all in your eye. The black French silks
were myths and the ingram carpets had
never been woven As a liar about his
business, goods and future movements
he is the boss. He purchased Dakota
lands ''In horn" and did great many
things on the same principle. His sue
cess as salesman was fair-probabIy got
away with two or three hundred dollars
above his expenses, sc. In Minnesota
among tire farmers he gets their notes
with anything about their plantations as
security. Then in the nearest village he
discounts them heavily and skins out
If he sold his magnificent wsolens at
50 cents and dollar yard he would
come nearer fair price for the purcha-
ser. On the contrary he gets $3.50 to
$3.50. His deception lies In the appar-
emily big pile he throws upon the custo--
mers arm, all for IS, IS or S. dollars At
first thought it looks as IT there was a
whole taller shop offered you, but little
figuring after the impulsive purchase
shows that it is 4 bad bargain He has
some good remnants, but for every one
Of that kind he has a dozen prettiIy COL
ored pieces that are poor cotton and
"not worth making up" one expert says.
If the law could have reached Creed he
wsuld have been arrested before leaving
Bismarck. He says he is corning back IN
the spring to give. our merchants ''h-I'
He will probably get It.
