Among the other classes Of peddlers
NAV be enumerated the "smuggled
goods" fake, and picture frame ven
doris. The former pretends that his
goods never paid duty, and can be sold
cheap, while the latter takes orders
for charging pictures, and asks Dig
price for them and the frames. "A
local firm Mcdonald & O'Neill, has
been giving enlarged pictures as
premium, when goods to a certain
amount are purchased, and furnishing
frames to go with them at half the
price asked by the peddlers. In sew
era1 instances pictures AMI frames
have cost the purchaser ten dollars or
more. Most of these schemes are pure
fakes, and the men are not travelling
for their hea1th;-they give nothing to
support the town or county, or the
schools; they don't help our celebra-
tons, our sick or other public causes,
and they take lots of money away.
Don't patronize them.
