Many Laundrsssss Said to Pawn Gus

A New York pawnbroker recently
told me Of a scheme resofted to by
many washerwomen which may be OF
interest to those housewives who
have noticed that their dner garments
and household linens are slow In get
ting home from the wash. He says
that these washsrwomen make . regu.
lar practice of raising money on their
patrons better class OF linen.
For instance" said he. indicating
a large package neatly done up. that
contains some very hne garments and
q lot Of household linen. The whole
is worth perhaps $40. At. any rate.
l lent $50 on 1t. You see. the washer
woman takes the things home with
her. washes them at once. and instead
Of returning them to their owner,
brings them here and gets money,
which she can use for at least a week,
and sometimes much longer. BY the
time she has to take these out for de-
livery she has another lot which she
can bring here in Its place. Thus she
keeps the money indefinitely. A
washerwoman with q large number
Of such patrons can keep $500 or $500
In the air ali the time and still get
the goods back in time to satisfy
those people who have suniciently
large reserve stock on hand."-Brock.
