. tricks In Selling Creamers.

Az ents OF creamers OF various
kinds make n good living by going
through the country and selling the
oreamers at high prices. Now some
Of the creamers are probably all right
az far as they go, but most of them
are not worth the high prices that
are paid for them. The agents also
10 as far as possible in building up n
case for the things they are selling.
Reports from Canada say that three
agents of these creamers have been
arrested and sentenced to jail terms
on account of having made fraudu'
lent statements IN the sale OF the
creamers., The statements were, or
'.ourse, made to insure sales. The
farmers in witnessing at the trial tes
titled that the agents declared that
the creamers would keep anything
cool without the use of ice. Butter
would be hard even In the hottest
day of summer. The creamers were
said to be packed with asbestos,
which the agents represented as per-
fectly impervious to heat. The
agents also declared that commission
men would pay n higher price for
butter from such creamers than that
made in the ordinary way. The farm
ers had signed what they supposed
to be trial orders, but which later
turned out to be negotiable notes.
The cost of each of these wonderful
creamers was in excess of $50. Isn't
Il a little remarkable that some farm
ors are so suspicious of each other
that they will not meet each other in
any form of cooperation and yet will
place such confidence in smooth
tongued strangers that they will pay
out their money on almost any kind
OF representation?
