FRAUD IN FURNITURE BUSINESS
Denison Merchant Tells How Fraud
in Furniture Business is Grow
ing Larger Each Year.

The swindle and fraud in the fur
niture business is growing larger ev-
cry year and it is time that the resi-
dents of this locality should know
lust how the furniture business is be-
ing conducted.
For the last number of years vast
quantity of furniture has been put on
the market under different names as
quartered oak, empire oak, imperial
oak, badger oak, American oak, etc.,
when in fact the furniture is not made
of oak at all and is sold as real oak
furniture. The wood used is the cheap
est and most worthless that the man
ufacturers can procure.
The process which is used in max
ing this cheap grade of furniture is
about as follows: The wood is first
covered with coat Of water color
then grained to give the wood the ap-
pearance of real oak, and after this it
is vanished once or twice with the
cheapest grade of varnish. The var!
nish does not soak into the wood by
this method and is not durable and in
short time will peel off, especially so
If the furniture is placed in damp
place. 1t takes an expert in furniture
to detect furniture that is made to
initiate original wood. A buyer of
furniture should, under all circum-
stances, be sure to ask OF the dealer
whether or not the wood is original
or if it is an imitation, as number
of dealers would never mention the
fact, as there is an immense profit in
the imitation. The buyer has the least
idea what is beneath the Varnish and
| it should be his privilege to know just
what he is purchasing. A great deal
of mahogany furniture is imitation
and on account Of the dark color of
| the wood it is very easy to initiate,
and very few people can tell the
difference between real mahogany and
the imitation.
The writer had the opportunity last
year to discover this great fraud. Mrs.
R. A. Romans, former resident of
this city, purchased mahogany ward
robe in nearby city. which was rep
resented to her as solid mahogany
and was sold to her for seventy-three
dollars. The furniture was damaged
in shipping and l was called upon to
polish and repair it upon it's arrival.
Being interested in the furniture,
asked her if it was sold to her for real
mahogany, and upon finding out that
it was, | told her that it was a fraud,
as there was not single piece OF ma
hogany in the wardrobe. The ward
robe could have been purchased in
Denison for twenty-five dollars. They
at once took the matter up with the
house from which it was purchased
and after a great deal of correspond
ence the money was refunded, after
lawsuit had been threatened. |
afterwards sold her solid mahogany
wardrobe for fifty-four dollars.
There should be some law enacted
to protect the public from these
frauds in furniture, but until that time
comes every purchaser should ask the
dealer just what he is buying. If
you are interested in furniture don't
fail to look over my line and have me
explain the difference to you.

COINED MONEY
First Years Crops Paid for
Texas Farm.

Houston, Feb. 17.-Texas lands in
the matter of production have sprung
SO many surprises and there are so
many instances of unusual crops since
farmers have learned how to handle
the land. to cite particular instance
that is representative is not difficult.
The experience of John Nordstrand
illustrates what can be done by any
man who will give attention to bust
ness. Nordsrand's success was not
unusual but is fairly representative
in every particular. In December 1907
he came from Dakota and rented an
eighty acre farm with an artesian we'll
near Kingsville. In December he
planted fourteen acres in cabbage and
one acre in Irish potatoes. BY Easter
he had gathered these crops and sold
them. On February Goth he planted
one acre of beans. This crop was har-
vested and sold by the middle OF
May. Adult this time he. harvested
four acres of sorghum cane which he
had planted in February. This had
made growth of six feet and was
used for forage. An acre of cante-
loupes planted February 25th was
gathered and sold before the end OF
May, and the harvesting OF an acre of
watermelons followed. A half acre
in tomatoes and radishes planted Feb
ruary fifteenth and one acre of sweet
potatoes were marketed early in June.
Mr.. Nordstrand did not keep an item
lied account of his net earnings but
is satisfied with the fact that he has
sufficient money to buy eighty acres
adjoining the ones he had leased, ev-
cry dollar of this money being the re-
suit of one year on a rented Texas
farm.
Fred Warren is a we'll known civil
engineer residing near kingsville.
Last year he raised three acres of on
ions. The total receipts were $1141.71
The expense of producing charged
against this crop are as follows: Cul
tivation $40; crates $4S.45: cuttin
packin and delivering at station S2S..
so total. $116.95. In the same locality
S. F. Ray made three quarters of a
bale Of cotton to the acre on sod
land without irrigation. The figures
for this in round numbers would be
per acre 375 pounds of cotton at ten
cents, $3.50: 675 pounds of seed lat
SIS per ton, $6.O7; total s43,57. After
deducting cost of planting and har.
vesting he had net profit of $32 per
acre.
