About a dozen or more Richmond gro
GERS are under the impression that they
have been swindled out of % cents each
under very peculiar circumstances. Some
time ago they were called upon by a
Young man, who claimed that he was
a drummer, representing himself to be
the agent Of large wholesale tea-houses in
Harrisburg and Pittsburg, Pa. He ex-
planned that his firm wished TO intro
duce some new brands Of tea into Rich
mond. and proposed to leave quantity
of sample packages for free distribution
with the storekeepers. He not only ala
not require any orders, but said that his
house would send a nice stand-lamp or
something Of the kind as present to
each concern distributing the packages.
After making deal he asked for bill
head of the firm, explaining that he was
anxious that no mistakes should be
made about the address. These bill
heads he carried around from store to
store. displaying them as evidence OF
having done business with reputable mer-
chants. He only exacted 25 cents from
each merchant to pay for transportation
ON the present. None OF the gifts have
yet arrived.
