Frame Required.


Frame Required.
The oit-repeated expression that people
are fond OF being humbugged has again
been verified.
Last week about fifteen hundred letters
we're received In the Richmond postofiice
from a Chicago "fine-srt company" aud
addressed 10 the most prominent people In
the city, including many professional men
of high rank. These letters offered the re-
ceiyers "rare bargain In the ine-art line.
The Chicago sharpors simply requested the
persons TO whom the letters were addressed
TO send them their photograph, in return
for which they would receive tine portrait
painted from the photograph.
In explanation Of this great offer the com
pany stated that they did this work free,
provided the beneficiary would frame 1t
handsomely and hang it in conspicuous
place in the residence, and tell their friends
about il In order 10 advertise ''the show"
Strange TO say, about 800 Of the benehca-
ries of this fake responded, inclosing their
photographs, and in "A few days they re-
ceiyed letter each from the fine
art company, saying that the por-
traits were ready, at the same time
explaining its nature, and how per-
feet it resembed the excellent photo
pany added that they had purchased
number Of frames for the por-
traits, which they would furnish
from SO to s., according to quality, which
was much less than they could be bought
for at retail. Some Of the citizens who had
gone into the scheme somewhat hesitated
on the receipt Of this and suspected fraud.
but they had gone to the trouble to send the
photographs, and they wanted to give the
line art company fair show and forwarded
the money.
When the framed portraits were received,
the eager expectancy Of the investors ere
converted into chagrin TO lind the portrait
absolutely no good, and the common frame
could readily he bought here at retail Tor
one-third OF the price. Those who "bit'
were subjects Of much iun-making from
their wiser friends who did not happen 10
have the photograph or time to get one. Al
any rate the five hundred are much wiser
than they were before the rare offer OF the
Fine Art Company Of Chicago was re-
