Honorable. but Dishonest.

An uptown auctiOneer whose pa
irons include many successful business
men has introduced the system of
having purchasers sign n card instead
of paying the customary deposit when
they have bid in an article.
At the beginning of each days sale
the auctioneer explains that he trusts
to the honesty alone of purchasers. but
that those who sign the card and after
ward fail to redeem their promises
will be sued. One of the auctiOneer's
attendants goes to the purchaser after
each sale, hands the woman or man
a lead pencil and a card to sign. The
auctioneer was asked the other day If
the new plan worked well. He re-
piled:
Fine. Away ahead of the deposit

their honor. But, say. there is one
drawback. We have u deuce of time
