THE TRACER.
How He Follows Up Dishonest Purchasers
on the Installment Plan.

One of the most important men in the
employ of firm that makes a speciality
OF selling goods Oh the installment plan
is the tracer " His duty, as his name
signifies, is 10 find out the whereabouts
Of delinquent customers, who think &c
get out Of the trouble of future pay
ments by quietly moving away and neg
lectlng TO leave their new address
Nothing could be more foolish than
such course, for this is feature of
the business that the installment houses
have reduced 10 a science. Ii is obvious
that in this city the great majority Of
those who purchase goods on weekly
payments live III flats. This makes il a
comparatively easy matter for the deal
ers to keep them under surveillance, for
one Of the first things the collector does
is 10 see the janitor and inform him
which families III the house have bought
goods on the installment plan II paws
10 fee the Janitor for this service for he
is In position TO know when any NOV
ing Is about TO take place, and the in.
formation he gives the collector has
been the means of nipping in the bud
many well laid scheme TO get out Of
paying a furniture bill.
Sometimes. Of course, II happens that
q dishonest family will move away in
such hurry that the janitor is unable
TO inform the firm in time. In such an
event the tracer" is put OH the case
He sets about his work with the method
of the trained detective. He is familiar
with the name and address Of every fur
niture hover in the city, and his ac-
quaintance among the helpers is so ex-
tensive that ii is more than likely he
has personal friend among the men
who moved the family he is seeking.
With such advantages his task is not
nearly so hard as the uninitiated won Id
imagine, and there would be fewer at
tempts made TO beat the installment
dealers if il were better known how lit
tie chance a person has to succeed. -
