A SCHEME FOR
GETTING RICH QUICKLY.


A scheme for getting rich quick
" occurred to Rafael Gonzales, Of
Orizaba, Mexico. He wrote polite
and businesslike letters to Ameri-
can newspapers, ordering 50 daily
and IS Sunday copies to be sent
regularly.
The fishing was good, for Coma
les promised to remit 500 upon
receipt OF the first shipment of
papers. The idea of building IN
big circulation in Mexico naturally
appealed to ambitious publishers.
Maybe some of them wondered
how many Mexicans could read at
all, let alone read English print
The postoffice inspectors in
Washington, D. c., have issued a
fraud order against Gonzales, bar
ring him from the mails.
But Gonzales apparently got
what he was after, for the official
announcement from the inspectors
says; Senior Gonzales has thus oh
tanned large quantities of Ameri-
Can newspapers for which he paid
nothing and has doubtless realized
no small revenue through their
sale as wrapping paper"
Lately there has been a regular
epidemic of frauds worked on
Americans by swindles in foreign
countries using our mails.
In the particular case Of Con
tales it occurs to you that man
OF his integrity was wasting his
time on a waste paper swindle,
The same cleverness, applied to
an honest and useful proposition,
would make him increasingly rich,
The criminal mind, however
seems to have peculiar work that
makes the getting of wealth bv
crooked means seem the easiest
way OF averages, it is easier to
get rich honestly than dishonesty.
You can picture Gonzales, sit
ing around for months or even
years, rolling shuck cigarets and
runlng his resourceful brain high
speed until he figured out his
scheme.
