Is O Person Supposed to
Examine Everything He Buys?

An inexperienced youth inherited
some money and decided to open .
dry goods store. Soon dealer ap-
peared at his place with several
crates Of 'brand-new" merchan-
disc. Actually, each crate was
topped with few pieces of new
goods, while the remainder was old
and moth-eaten When the young
man wanted to examine all the con.
tents, the dealer dissuaded him by
showing some fake invoices-pur-
porting to describe everything in
the crates. The youth yielded-and
paid cash for the lot When he later
discovered the trick, he filed suit
against the dealer for fraud. The
latter argued that it was the buy
er's own fault if he didn't have
enough sense to examine what he
bought. But the court disagreed and
granted the youths claim. The
judge figured it was better to pro-
tect fool than to encourage n
crook!
