FINED $25.00 AND COSTS
Two . canvassers: leave been working.
Exeter for the past few weeks taking,
orders for enlarged photographs and
one of them,Gordon Hanlon, of Strat-
ford, appeared before Magistrate W..
D. Sanders on Monday and was fined
$25.00 and costs for failing to affix a
revenue stamp to a receipt he had.
given for over ten dollars. The costs
brought the fine up to $34.00 and as
the young men had not sufficient
funds to meet the costs, Coni:niission-
er Bissett took a promise from thele
and Ieft tier ,with enough money to
get out of town.
Warnings have been issued from
time to time of the methods similar
salesmen have used for shaking easy
looney. It appears that two sales-•
leen go together ,and
'after entering a
home secure a favorite photo. They
explain that a contest is being held
and prizes awarded for the best
photo of children, married people,
'soldiers, elderly persons, etc. They
state„ that they will take the photo,
have' it enlarged, show the party a
proof and if they like it the picture
will cost $3.9 8 or in that neighbor-
hood. A few days later the proof is
i•ettirned and in mo,t cases is vert*
creditable. The order is taken for a
photo and the
canvassers proceed to
sell the party a fra.nle and this is
where the salesmanship ,comeas s $6 0 in.
