to have been to fill the first order sent
from a locality, and then, by Offering
extraordinary inducements to agents, d
large list is secured and the money sent
on, and that is the last oft. The print
ed cards are offered by these firms at

ment can furnish them for, and the Am

your home Office, where good job will
be done at as low prices as can be afford
