FEW WEEKS PREVIOUS TO OCTOBER
n 81, 1885, the Wheeler & Wilson agent here
air. W. Hovey, forced one of his No. Smachines
into my house for trial. week later he called
for the purpose of selling it to me- offered to let
me pay anything could spare, or let me return
the machine TO him at any time we did not like
it or want it any longer Under these flattering
promises leased the machine from him on the
inStallment plan. He presented paper which
!, thinking him to be gentleman, signed with
out reading. gave him my old machine in ex-
change for SO, and subsequently, paid him IS in
cash. A few months alter the receipt of the
machine we found it was not as represented.
My wife did not care to have it any longer, and
besides was out of work, and so we requested
what l had paid SIS. He refused to take it back
so that finally, during the month of June, de
livered the machine 10 him at his store. My
wife then bought Domestic" Sewing Ma
chine. After that the Wheeler & Wilson agent
called on us several times, and made threats
similar to the contents of the following letter.

in San Francisco, for on last Saturday October

Court of san francisco to appear for trial there.
If had kept the machine there would have
been balance of only SS7 to be paid; yet they
sued me for Si5 and interest. The people will
plea bear in mind that the agent agreed to re-
eeive money in sacramento. yet the contract l
signed makes payments payable in San Fran
cisco Il understand all of their contracts are
the same.) The Company had the machine in
their possession since last June, yet they have
undertaken to sue me now. and in San Fran.
the suit ! would have to lay off from work, pay
nv expenses to San Francisco and return, en-
gage alawyer in san Francisco, etc. and then
a'ter all give them the chance OF postponing
the Suit, and give me the same expense again.
They cannot hope To- win their case, but make
me expensive trouble amounting to more than
the value OF the machine. To avoid this trouble
have now paid them for their machine in fall,
although l informed them that my wife would
not use it since she had used her Is Domestic
