Look out for the fence shark
who is calling upon the farmers and
offering to put up an eight wire
fence with iron posts for eight cents
per foot. No cash is required, but
before the fence is put up he gives
a promisscry note, agreeing to pay
eight cents foot as soon as the,
fence is put up. Later it transpires
that it means eight cents a foot for
each wire, making Ga cents a run
ming foot for the fence. What is
worse, the fence is SO high the bull
dog can't jump over it and the
trickster gets into the next county
