SOME ACCOUNT OF THE SITARPER8
Oi, NEW YORt K.
The Advertising Dodge--Pianos for a
Song--Luck in Lotteries--A Word to
tho Foolish.
New York Correspwdencce etrberry Herald.
On my table, as I sit down to
write, are twenty-two letters
eighteen of #them from different por
tions of the United States, as far
apart as Maine and Texas, three
from Ireland and one from England
-all of them are letters of inquiry
as to the character of New York
firms, which have made a specialty
of advertising. To describe the
various articles that enter into their
catalogues would be as impossib1c
as it would be to discover th<
moons of Mars through a p.mn
whistle. In every instance these
letters refer to some bold-faced
swindle, and to an ordinary New
Yorker the deception is beneath
contempt. How men in their
senses can be duped by them is a
mystery, but how newspaper men,
of all others, can be trapped by
these shallow thieving scoundrels,
is beyond the comprehension o:
those who under the most favorablc
circumstances are prone to take n<
very charitable view of humanity.
Swindling advertising has beer
reduced to a science in New York,
and for the benefit of my brethroi
of the press I propose in the limitE
of this letter to give a few specimeni
of the system by which the news
papers of the United States arc
annually robbed of hundreds o:
thousands of dollars.
To begin, the advertising swindlex
never is able to pay cash, but hiE
promissory note is always ready ir
from thirty to ninety days ; he is
willing to take from ten lines to a
column, and the articles with which
he offers to enrich the public, em
brace every conceivable thing, from
a jew's-harp to a grand piano
There are two localities in No,v
York, especially rich in advertising
swindlers, Bond street and Bleeckor
street, each contending for su
premacy. I do not mean to say
that there are not other places in
New York, which deserve an
especial distinction, but in these
favored localities the genus
swindler flourishes with perennial
glory. One advertises beautiful
sets of jewelry for twenty-five and
fifty cents. You can remit the sum
in postage stamps or currency, and
he will assume the risk. The stuff
he sends out is not worth ten cents
a bushel, being made of glue with
a little piece of wire stuck in them~
to hang them in the ears, which
they poison when they touch, and
the materials of which they arc
composed would melt down likt
sno0w withl the thermometer at
ninety, but the poor fool deserves
to be0 swindled who expects to got
a fine set of jewelry for twenty-five
or lifty cents. Another individual
advertises a piano for one hundred
and seventy-five dollars, equal te
those manufactured by Chickering
and Steinway for one thousand.
In fact so bold have these swindlers
become that they have advertised
Chickering, Steinway and Weber
pianos for $225 a piece ; a large
firm in the United States has been
filled with these counterfeit rattle
traps, each one of which should
have consigned the maker to the
walls of a State Prison.
A few months ago the American
Patent Roofing Company sent their
advertisements, payable in thirty
and sixty days, all over the United
States ; hundreds of papers insert
ed the advertisement, and not one
of them ever got a cent. At the
request of a paper down South, X
called at the John street office to
find an empty room and the insweor
of no effects. Another individual
advertised a sewing machine, equal
to the finest manufacetured, for the
sum of ffeen dollars ; the address
was boldly given on Broadway, and
on receipt of flye dollars the
machine would be shipped. and ten
dollars would be collected oni
delivery ; if after trial the maebhine
was notifound perfectly satisfactory,
it could be returned, and the com
pany gave their written obligation
to refund the money and pay all
the ex pross-of transportation; what
could be fairer than that?i Nothhrg
VJL J 1. JA~ ' J. LV
here you had every apparent seocuri
ty, there wore only two slight
difficulties in the way, which wore,
that there was no such number on
Broadway, and that there was no
such company in existence. The
morning the governimont seized
their mail there woro seven hundred
letters addressed to them in the
posi-oflice, the greater part of them
containing money. Not a solitary
paper which aided the swindle over
received a cent for its pains. A
notorious firm which has as many
aliases as thoro are days in the
year has made a specialty of Gift
Entorprises; this firm, thanks to
the exertions of Anthony Comstock,
we have succeeded in banishing to
the virtuous province of Nova
Scotia, and we take this occasion of
congratulating our brethren of the
colonios on the latest Yanke im
portation. This firm in contradis
tinction of all the other swindlers
has frequently paid for its adver-.
tisemonts, but the amount paid was
small in comparison with the num
ber they swindled. Their modo of
operation I referred to a few weeks
ago, but it will bear repetition, and
serve as a wholosomo warning to
the unwary. The travelers of this
firm are constantly moving all over
the West and South; they make
it their business to get acquainted
with the people they intend to gull;
they are somotimos looking for
farms; sometimes merchants do
giring to locate in business, and not
unfrequently clergymen traveling
for their health. When the proper
man is found, his address is for
warded at once to the office in New
York, and he forthwith receives a
circular of the grand drawing of
the Universal Prize Association
founded for the purpose of erecting
an asylum for destitute children.
Managers, the IRev. T. H. Wobble,
Rev. F. W. Squeozen, Hon. M. M.
Blow, aided by a committee of
eminent ladies and gentlemen; the
funds to be solely under the charge
of S. S. Default, Esq., President of
the Mount Atlas Bank. Not a
thing is overlooked; ev6ry point
is guarded; the whole thing looks
as fair and as pious as a Moody and
Sankey hymn book. The schedule
sets forth that there are fifteen hun
dred prizes, ranging from arti.
cles of jewelry and silver
ware worth from five dollars
up to twenty thousand dollars in
cash, which is the capital prize. In
addition to the above attractions, in
any event a chrotho will boepont you,
the cash cost of which in New York
is five dollars, so it is perfectly im
possible to lose anything ; if you
send a dollar by mail you make four
dollars clear by the operation, and
you got a chance for a sum of
money that will make you comforta
ble for life. Thinking the matter
over you say to yourself, if it is a
swindle it's only a dollar gone, and
right here is whero these thieving
rascals understand the weak point
of humanity. Sharp people may
pooh-pooh, and say nobody could
be taken in by such a miserable
trick as that, and yet a recent
post--office seizure of their mail
revealed in a single morning fifteen
hundred letters from every portion
of the United States and Canada.
From this concern a man in the far
West, or South, or in Canada, re
ceives a letter and a circular
inclosing a couple of tickets for
their grand drawing which is to
take place on the 21st of September.
The New York house has been in
structed by a friend of theirs wvho
did not wish his name mentioned, to
forward themi the enclosed tickets
on wvhich all charges are paid, and
they sincerely hope that the re.
ceivor may be fortunate in drawing
a prizo. Now let me ask any sane
man what chance. is there of being
swindled there'? None whatever,
because theto is nothing to pay.
The drawing, however, takes p lace,
and the lucky ticket 17,851 has
drawn a grand-action piano. Tho
lucky holder receives official notifi
cation of 11is good fortune, accomn%
panied with the info?mnation that the
piano will be shippedl to him on
receipt of the express charges, and
boxing, which only amiounts to the
modest sum of $37.50-a mere bag
of nails for a grand piano. The
money is. duly forwarded, 'ana thit
is the.last the unfortunate individ
ual over hears of the prize drawing
of the grand piano. It soents won
derfuml that people should 6e con..
tinually taken im 'y such . miser'aWle
and shallow devrices ; -but 'tidoi'tu
