This firm is supposed to manufacture woolen goods and sell direct to consumers at less than half the cost which retailers charge. He also carried for baits samples of teas, sugars, boots and shoes, eta„ for which he took orders, and to every customer repro. seated that their orders could at any time bo duplicated at the mama rates. When the geode turned up they were in- variably cheap shoddy artialee that would be dear at any price, and the puehaeers found they had no one to whom they could appeal, for while the oiraniare gave the style of the firm, they did nob state clearly where the firm was located.
