Generally Defraud the PubIie-Not

Every community suffers two OF
three times year from fake business
concerns that locate there temporarily
and offer tremendous bargains to the
people. says the advertising expert OF
the New York Mail.
They generally rent store-and
there is always a store vacant in every
city on it's best thoroughfare-they
buy advertising in the newspapers II
they can secure it and sell to the peo-
pie merchandise for $40 that costs
them about 81.
After they have got all they can
out of the community they 60 some
where else and commence all over
again.
Many of these concerns, because OF
the prominence of New York In the
commercial world. announce them
selves as direct from some big concern
in New York city, locating temporarily
in the community. to give the people
the great advantage that will accrue
to them if they buy their merchandise.
They are fly by night" business

and that by the time they realize they
have been fooled the fake concern has
moved away and they have no OppOr-

ception practiced upon them?
Ninety per cent of the merchants
engaged in business try TO the best OF
their ability to do business on the lev

from the small percentage Of nntrust-
worthy concerns that do not care n

These fly by night schemers should
not be permitted to rent stores in com
munities in the first place-the land
lord should be held responsible TO:
leasing to an unreliable house-and
newspapers should not print their ad
vertising announcements.
