TRICKS OF THE
 MAIL ORDER HOUSES.

Do you know how Sears. Roe buck X Co. started 1n business? asked Zandition, the editor of the Kansas, Norton County. News. Il worked for them nine years ago. l knew Sears when lie was a station agent in Wisconsin and Roebuek when he was a watch peddler. One time Roebuck wanted to go to Milwaukee and didn't have the money. so he left a watch with Sears for security for his fare. telling him that If he should be able to sell the watch for more than o6 he might keep half he made. Sears sold the watch for S12. Then Sears wrote to Roebuek in Milwaukee and got him to send by express dozen watches to Bill Jones, Sam Smith and q lot of fictitious names. These watches were billed out at s and o10 paid on apparently Sears unloaded the watches on his friends easily at SIS each, which cost him and Roebuck S3.50. But the railroad company got onto the game and fired Sears. and the two of them opened an office in Milwaukee. They bought thousand watches and shipped them by express to every express office in Kansas, Missouri and Illinois. These watches cost s but they sold as S25 watches and marked S10 paid and to fictitious names. When the agent reported such watches back as undelivered, this pair would write back that some mis- take must surely have been made, but as a payment of S10 had been made they would allow the agent d commission ot S2to secure the other SIS. We'll, the watch scheme worked fine and the pair cleaned up S10,0o0 clear. Then they bought a lot of parlor sets for children and advertised them giving the impression that you would receive d full set of furni- ture for S5; and the people bit all over the country.
 Uncle Sam has stopped Sears, Roebuck & Co.'S mail fourteen times for fake deals like this, but has never been able to catch them. Sears is probably worth nine or ten millions. Roebuck is working in Des Moines at SIS per week, being forced out of the business several years ago. As an illustration O. how this firm makes money. About year ago they bought 5000 bicycles, all alike, and they placed three prices on thesame wheel, which cost them S6.5O, and they sold 1t
