instalment payment system. They called
every Monday morning for their money,
coming in two.horse wagons to make
their collections. One lady after she
had made payments to the amount of
Sc on her ''silver SET" found that black
spots and streaks had broken out ON the
pieces, proving that the utensils were

visit the agent made the lady told him
that the material was not silver, and
showed him the discolorations on the
different articles. He became insulting
and abusive, for which the lady broke a
broomstick in pieces on his back and
head. Look out for the swindlers.
