At one time those who came into daily

had a good deal TO say about "~extravagant

and dozens more about c. o. D.'s sent to
persons with a bona hde address who
promptly sent the goods back for some
trining reason or other. And the queer
thing about it is that in no case was it a
confidence game. Confidence games are
in another class.
