Editor Times: / must say that you have
crowned your valuable paper with one Of
the grandest efforts by unearthing the
money lenders on furniture l know you
have told the truth, for l got $40 from the
same Newman last fall for sixty days,
and when the note came due it was for
$52. 81 was speaking to banker about
it the other day If this robbery doesn't
beat horse racing, policy playing, and lot
terry I don't know what does. This man is
rot all by any means. May God smile on
your great paper, for it is great to any one.
" hose eye falls on 'Shylocks Lie In Wait"
FROM AN HONEST CITIZEN.
Editor Times: l am a constant reader
of The Times and 1 am glad to see that
our beautiful city has at last a journal
that is working for the welfare of the
community. The Times is to be CoDgrat-
ulated for the great work it has done
and is still doing in breaking up the op-
erations of the lawless element.
1t was with great joy that L read of
the great havoc The Times is playing with
the money grabbe rs'' or "Shylocks" as
your valuabls paper rightly terms them
and I must confess that | am one of their
victims.
In March, 1898, being in great need of
q little cash I visited the office of Wash
OF a loan of $50. l was ushered into
a private office and upon inquiry l was
told that I could secure a loan of $50 on
my furniture which cost $3.50, and told
me that it would cost me So. so orreCording
and So for expenses.
1 finally refused the offer and seeing
the catchy advertisement in the Star of
Meyer B. Newman, I finally called on
that "Shylock" and he told me that he
would give me a loan of $15 on my furni-
ture at 6 per cent per month for three
months.
l agreed and after coming to my home to
see the furniture he requested my wife
and myself to call at his office. l was
then in a house on Missouri avenue, be-
tween Third and Four-and-a-half streets
northwest, we called and after he had
quested that we sign il in two places
which we did, not knowing the contents,
as he assured us that it was of no con-
sequence as it was only matter OF form.
After finishing this he handed us $15
and said it was to be paid ip three
notes and the first note would be due
in thirty days and at the end of that
time I received a note for S.65 which l
paid At the end OF the second month 1
received a note for $3.50 and the third
month $S.42. Being unable to pay the
third note the day it was due he called on
me and threatened to sell my furniture
1 asked him why 1 was charged $25 46
and he then told me SO was charged
for drawing up and recording the papers,
After some hot words with him, he left
and sent his attorney to see me, he finally
agreed to accept So per week until the
above amount was paid making a total of
S3404 for the small loan OF S15, and I
was then handed the chattel mortgage
which I saw provided for q loan of S25
instead of SIS.
