4 CREDIT CHECK swlNDLE.
Trick Ey which One Firm Got Doll
lars without selling Shirt Waists.

That there is no end to the ways of
imposing upon the suffering New York
public was illustrated by the failure
of small store recently. The newly
appointed receiver was surprised by
having many women come to his office
with credit checks. These checks were
for small amounts, ranging from 81 to
SO. At first the receiver couldn't I'M
derstand it, but upon investigation ne
learned the details of pretty system
of fleeing.
The firm, it seems, had made a spe-
cialty of silk and cotton shirt waists.
These were, with few exceptions,
shapeless, i'll fitting garments, and
when the unfortunate women shoppers
got home with their purchases and
put them on they were Disguised to
find that the bargain sale waists were
baggy and puckery and altogether so
poorly fashioned that it would be
next to impossible to make them fit
even by complete ripping up and
remaking. Such being the conditions
they invariably took the goods back
and demanded other waists. or their
money. 1t was contrary to the prin-
ciples of the firm TO refund money,
and as they seldom had waists more
becoming either in style or shape than
the ones returned, they were driven
to the extremity of credit checks.
1--WE will get in new supply of
Waists in a few days" was the suave
assurance of the manager and his
well trained assistants. ''Your check
will be good at any time, and when we
replenish our stock you can select
waist that suits you"
But the new stock never arrived. and
in spite of the good dollars received
from deluded customers without de-
creasing their capital of waists, the
firm became insolyent and then the
women began to come with credit
checks. So far the receiver has been
unable to compensate them for their
loss through the swindle which. in its
way, was rather matthew York Sun.
