BY FINANCE"
Below I give a few of the expert.
ences that have been pouring in on me
since started the series exposing the
methods OF the Peoples Quitting Co.
Not all OF the letters that l have re.
ceived could be printed. Some con-
tanned merely hearsay; some cited ia,
stances that might. be connected with
transactions in the most legitimate
store, some are anonymous and some
are but repetition Of the point that II
made In others.
In a few instances have found the
writer's to have had trouble with other
stores and these letters, OF course, are
from persons upon whom would not
want to rely whollt. Rather than tres
pass upon doubtful ground. have
thrown out such communications alto

obEioua reasons.
Hard, cold, substantiated facts Is
what have dug for In my long In.
veetigation and there are enough OF
these without subjecting the strength
OF my exposure to weakening through
printing charges that could not
back up.
The proprietors OF this store assert
J that no complaint has ever come to
their ears where the customer has
lived ND to the contract, which, by the
way. few customers ever get chance
to read. The proprietors claim. also.
that they have never heard or any
goods being removed where sickness
or any other reasonable cause had
interfered with the payments
The following instances seem 10
me to prove one OF two things. Either
the proprietors do not know mueh
about their business or else that they
take especial precaution not 70 hear
complaints.
Here is a copy of q letter written
to the Peoples Quitting Co. by q
woman who paid her contract In fuii
and was asked why she had not re-
turned for more.
