BUNCH OF HOT ONES.
CentraIla Farmers Sold by
Clothing Drummer.

Over near Centrslia according to
the Courier, there is a bunch OF hot
farmers who claimed they had been
swindled by a mail order clothing
house now doing business through
the country.
The scheme Is for the mail order
man to drive out to the farmers
house accompanied by some man
the farmer knows and has confidence
In. After claiming the merchants
are robbing the people, the agent
offers to sell three suits and dress
pattern for $39:50. taking a note
for that amount. Upon getting the
note, the buyer is informed that he
will have to buy the lining, which
will cost but little and he can buy 1t
OF the man who takes their measure
for the suits or any home merchant.
When the men came In to be meas
ured they found they must buy the
lining Of the mail order house or not
have their goods made up. The
cheapest lining shown them was
$3.50 per suit, little better than
calico one OF the men said to US, and
the other grade, ordinary satteen,
at SO so per suit.
To show how the graft is worked,
we call attention to Dennis jennings
experience. he gave his note for
$3.50, and when his package came
Tuesday from Chicago, on the box
was marked G. 0. D. $3.50 for lin
ing. In other words his three suits
and dress pattern cost him $50. A
merchant In whose store we saw the
lay out, told us that he was selling
in his store three suits OF similar
quality, only better made, for $40. Is
or So 76 each, Just %. cents more
than the mail order house charged
for lining. Mr.. jennings said that he
felt like he ought to prosecute the
outfit, but he saw no way to do It.
A number OF other farmers said the
same thing.
It's too bad, but the farmers ought
to learn to set the dogs on agents
Wise IL the man who buys at home;
it is cheaper and better.
