Messrs. Catch EN- and Skin EN-.
An investigation of the store made
six months later disclosed that its
stock was then larger than the day 1t
announced the auction. Its sales In
the interim had exceeded 100000.
The facts are that two trucks had
backed up to the rear OF the store
nightly and unloaded new merchan.
disc, principally odd lines and job lots
picked up here and there at a bargain.
Under the guise OF legitimate auc-
ton, or private sale at auction prices,
fourteen times as much furniture was
sold in the six months as the store
| contained at the time OF the failure.
| Comparison OF sale prices disclosed
| that victims were persuaded to buy
| literally ON the assurance they were
getting sacrifice prices, when as mat
| ter of fact they were actually paying
from five to Is per cent more than re-
liable stores were charging for better
goods
Fake auctions and private sales are
used not only for furniture but also in
the sale of jewelry and other merchan
disc. The lesson which this story
| teaches Is that there is nothing to be
| gained by patronizing such sales. On
the other hand, there is a better than
$3.50 chance of sustaining loss.
Not all auctions are fraudulent, for
some are conducted fairly and honest
ly, but before you draw your savings
from the bank and spend them for auc
ton goods it will pay you to get the
facts. For your own protection make
it an unbreakable rule to confine your
expenditures and investments to re.
liable firms and individuals. In deal
ing with them you are assured a
square deal.
