A woman bought an expensive
fur coat at a RELIABLE store
about a year ago. She wore it
several times. Some friends told
her that the coat did not look
well on her-that she should
have bought a different kind
and she became disconnected
with it.
She had worn it so long that
she knew she could not return
it and expect the store to ex-
change it at its full value.
So she hit upon the plan of
throwing the coat on the floor
and stamping on it with the heel
of her shoe. She succeeded in
cutting through the lining and
the seal. Then she took the
coat back to the store, claiming
that it had been damaged, and
demanded a credit for it.
The fur manager said he had
been in the business twenty-five
years and had never seen any
thing like the cut in that coat.
He examined it critically, discov-
cred just what had been done,
because he noted the heel print
in the lining, but he gave the wo-
man full credit and took the coat
! back.
A year later the woman re-
turned to the store and told the
manager what she had done,

that he knew at the time just
