PUTNAM


eyes, madam. undoubtedly the finest
complexion cream that science and an
understanding of the ways OF nature |
has ever permitted the chemists OF |
this or any other country to produce. !
At s150 jar it is really a giTt to the
discerning woman who is so fortunate /
as to have an opportunity to buy 1t, |
especially at this ceason when the sun
is so trying on some delicate COM
pleXions."
Something along this line of dope.
with much more added. was an aid
to separating a number of women in
the Grove street section on Thursday !;
from a dollar and half each. In re- !
turn they received jar of beautifief
that was represented as a miracle
worker-a cream that would put a |
complexion like that of a combination
lily and rose on an old trench shoe.
The salesman, at least in some in
stances, represented himself as an
agent of famous firm of perfumers
and cold cream specialists. This new
product would be demonstrated here
in the very near future, he said, men
tioning. one of the well known drug
stores of the city as the headquarters
of the demonstration. who would pay
particular attention to illustrating to
each woman who could present a
| coupon which he supplied with each
I jar of cream that he sold how the
cream should be applied to obtain the
| best results.
| One woman who was so unfortunate
as to be swayed to the extent of loos-
ening her purse strings to the extent
| of S1.o0 observed almost Immediately
upon opening the wrappings on her
! purchase that the cream was not the
/, product of the famous firm that the
agent said he represented, but that the
i jar bore the label Of a little known
manufacturer at Binghamton. n. Y.
! Realizing then that she had been
swindled, she notified the police and
I Captain Bulger started out to search
the Grove street section of the city for
/ the man. The captain. though he
| spent nearly all of the forenoon on
the trail. did not locate him.
The officer did learn some things of
interest, however, and chief among
| these was that the man selling the
/ cream had bought the product that he
| was offering at the Five and Ten
here in Putnam and that he had paid
! II cents 8 jar for it, the regular coun-
ter price.
/ All Of which goes to show what can
be accomplished by good salesman
| ship, given a clever talker, an attrac-
tive subject and any old kind of mer-
chandise.
So far as could be ascertained up to
late Thursday afternoon the cold
cream man sold six jars of his great
product.
Stealing bicycles continues to be a
popular, if irregularly practiced pas

Principal Hammond of the Israel Put

Manufacturers representing big tex
tile concerns in Putnam, Danielson
and surrounding towns and villages

liner and a discussion of matters per-

delivered at the gathering.
1t was stated here on Thursday
that the jitney men have agreed to an
advance in price for their city ser
vice, and that hereafter trips about
the town are going to cost so cents in
stead of 25 cents. The advance is due
to the fact it is stated, that the jitney
men find themselves burdened by the

wise, assessed against them and that
to continue to do business at the old
price would be Improbable.
