The picture enlarging fraud has
been around, and he found field
ready for the harvest in Lancaster.
His proposition was to enlarge a
picture in crayon and furnish a
glass for the same for the small
sum of so cents. His house US
ually charged S. for such pictures.
but this work was done simply for
the purpose of advertising their
work in the town. Those who
ordered from the house would
have to pay S.. The so cent can
vasser collected in advance. We
understand that he took 60 orders
in this town, making $50 in two
days, The parties who placed
these orders are receiving notices
from the house in Chicago, calling
for 81 additional payment on the
as for the picture before the work
is commenced. How prone we are
to get something for nothing, but
we generally get caught.-Lancas-
ter Republican.
