SHE KNEW THE FURNITURE

There is good May-moving story which
has just gained publicity regarding some
rather prominent furniture dealers in Chi
cagu. The firm alluded to had a very ele-
CANT paror set of solid mahogony and the
finest upholsterng. 1t also had duplicates
in yeneering wood and cheap plush in the
store-room. The costly outfit. which was
worth about $780, was displayed in the
window and Marked This elegant parlor
suite only S27. One day mild, meek
looking woman came in, examined the
furniture and invested. She took receipt
for her money, left her address and was
bowed out by the smiling salesman, who
assured her that the things would be sent
right over.' In due time the wagon arrived
at the young womans house and backed
up in front of the door.
Hold on said the purchaser, don't un-
load yet
Then she climbed on the van and made
very peculiar examination of the load. AT
last she said to the driver and his assistant.
'Pll go back with you to the store. These
are not the good l purchased And back
she did go, despite entraeties, protests and
assurances that everything was all right
When she walked in she was not the mild
hammered creature of two hours before.
You've tried to swindle me- she cried
Il bought one set of furniture and you
sent me another. Now, l want what /
paid for. How do 1 know? Because in
every article of that set you sold me stuck
pin in while YOU were not looking. Now
| am going to pick out my property and see
that you take it over. If you don't, there'll
be treuble.'
There was no trouble, and the little wo-
man is again looking for some sharp meI-
chant with similar bargain on hand.
