surrounding towns that has caughi
not few of the unwary ones. A

cannot use them himself and would
consent to dispose of them for-wel

according to the victims degree o.
gullibility The prospective victim
usually tries the glasses and in near
ly every case he sees as well as he
did without them, for the very good
reason that the glasses are only a
high quality of plate glass. Oh

time, but when it does work the
price is usually more than dollar
AS they cost the fakir only $3.50 a
dozen, his profit is handsome. Very
soon the purchaser learns that all is
not gold that glitters.
