tense Of selling imported scarfs. laces,
or rugs, are really marketing fraudu-
lent merchandise.
These swindlers use almost every
known variety of household furnish
ings for their wares There i the
fakir who sells what he holds out to
be genuine Irish linen. tablecloths and
napkins. which turn out to be cheap
inferior stuff
Oriental merchandise IS the great
lure Tor the unwary buyer: rugs, pot
terry, vases and silks are sold at fabu-
lous prices solely on the representa-
ton that they are foreign impOrtations.
Furs are another source Of great
revenue to fake statesmen. Cheap rab-
bit fur is often passed off ~ them
for skins Of the finest grade. These
furs are dyed BY the fake statesmen
and sold for scaris and coats.
Almost every line Of merchandise
finds its fakir House furnishings
pianos, various ornaments and trim
kets, all furnish an opportunity for the
INSCRIPTIONS fakir.
The proper thing to do is to pat
ronize only legitimate dealers. whose
name stands back Of their goods. and
whose integrity is unquestioned Here
there is no reason for substitution
You pay reasonable price and if the
goods are not right they will be ex-
changed. On the other hand. aftei
you have purchased from a fakir a,

never see him again and your money
is gone for good.
