Modus OperandI of the Green Goods Men
| AS Described by One of Them.
The following letter which we take
from the Centreville Observer, was as
stated by that paper received by well
known gentleman in that town, who for
the purpose of exposing the fraud had it
published We republlsh it, for the same
purpose, accompanying it's publication
with the hope, that no man in Cecil
county other than thoroughly honest
one, may be the recipient of such a pro-
posal. The letter was accompanied ~
sample of what is known as "green
| goods" counterfeit notes, and it's
| writer requested that arrangements be
entered into by whieh the green goods
might be circulated in his locality.
NEWARK, N. J.
DEAR SIR:-I am DESTROYS of obtaining
a good, shrewd agent in your locality to
handle my medicines" The enclosure
herewith gives all the information that
could be desired, and explains itself. It's
sure cure for the ''blues," Dread on):
An opportunity to make an independent
fortune like this has never crossed your
path before, and, in all probability, never
will again, as long as you live. There's
no reason why you should be slave and
toll all your life for nothing, If you are
foolish TO Iot o,o
like this pass you by-all we'll and good.
II you are miserable, and in want of
financial assistance-now or never is
your time. In years to come, should
you ever find yourself sadly in need of
''coin" in order to keep body and soul
together, you will have no one to blame
for your wretched existence but yourself.
This is serious and highly important food
for thought. Your sober and earnest at
tention should be given to every word
in this letter. A person without the
universal rudder" Almighty Dol
lar-is thought but little of. and is look
ed upon as of no Importance to the world.
Isn't this true? | know where of speak
in former years have drank from The
"bitter cup" myself. "A hint to the wise
is sufficient
If you have not money enough to
buy my goods, would consent to your
taking some confidential friend in with
you who has; provided, of course, he is
trust worthy and could keep the secret.
You both then come on and make the :
deal. However, you would be very fool
ish to take any one in with you if you
could raise enough money yourself
If my business should suit you, it
will be absolutely necessary for you to
come on here and see me in person. l
only deal face to face with my custom
ers. Experience has taught me that this
is the safest ard most satisfactory way
for both. By your coming on here you
see what you are buying, and l see
who am dealing with. Consequently
''you buy no cat in bag" and we both
feel better satisfied.
know it is quite journey for you to
make, but think of the tremendous pro-
fits to be made with no risk, compare
lively speaking, whatever.
And, as far as the expense is concerned
l always make a liberal allowance TO
cover the same. Make up your mind to
come on know you will always be
thankful for your visit to me. You will
find me square and honorable white
man in every particular. When you ar
rive here l will show you my entire
stock, from which you can make your
selections. Then if my goods are not all
that claim for them, and are not as fine
as the enclosure speaks OF, will make you
present of one thousand dollars in gold,
and also cheerfully pay all expenditures
incurred upon your journey. That's fair
enough, isn't it? MY prices are as follows.
$500 gets three thousand, $4O0 gets five
thousand; $3.50 gets ten thousand; $1,000
gets thirty thousand. The more you in
vest the cheaper you get the goods. The
sizes run from lone to twenty" $500
worth of my goods is positively the
smallest amount will sell under any
circumstances. If you will invest $3.50
or more will agree to give you exclusive
| state right. Now should you wish to do
business with me, you must obey the
following instructions, and do only as
| tell you.

mission. If you do 1t will be refused.
| See! | mean exactly what | say, and fur

us will end.
Second:-If you wish to come on here
and see me, send the following telegram

Third:-On receipt of your telegram
| will send you full instructions how to
meet me and where to stop; then no mis-

by dealing in my goods than you ever
dreamed of before in your life. Won't
