PMOTOKIHTH BUY AT ROADSIDE
^ rnur'it Market Shed* Doubly Profitable
From Cash Hales
(Hemson College, June 29. Several
.South Carolina farmer* are selling
^ surplus yrttr?|i-tt him! orchard prfjducts i
at roadside market stands on their
farmn and 'urning surplus into profit,
report* A. K. Schilletter, extension
horticulturist.
J. P. Taylor built a sales house by
* the side of the (Jreenville-Spartanburg
road ut his farm near (jreer
and in two weeks had sold fllH worth j
of products. Though he ships from
his commercial orchard, there are always
fruits too ripe or of insufficient
quantity to ship, which readily sell
to the passing motorist. His peaches,
apples, pears, apricots, cherries,
grapes raspberries, blackberries,
strawberries, pecans and walnuts prolong
his roadside season throughout
the heavy traffic months and keep
an inviting Variety on display.
Will Dill's home orchard of fifty i
or sixty ireach trees and a few apple ,
trees came into bearing about the i
time the (ireenville-Sjrartanburg high- ,
way was re-routed by his farm. He |
built a roadside shed at little cost
mid now his children sell the fruits
during vacation and after school. In
a short while last summer they pocketed
$200 there.
M All tourists on the New YorkFlorida
highway between Columbia
and Camden pass by W. J. Wilson's

! to buy.
| Oconto countian* buy from the
roadside fruit stand of Ham Ubell,

for more of his far-famed
! apples.
iioth uibanile* ami tourist*
getting the habit of looking for road,
aide purchases when on the highways.
An attractive shed built of scrap
| rna|4.*rials and a neat sign will stop
, many of them. Courtesy and quality
goods will firing them back. Surplus
fruits, vegetables, poultry and
dairy products and even flowers
strictly for cash without a middleman
or cartage to town, will surely
spell farm profits.

"Paunee Bill" Put* Off Ch??ay T??* on
Srorrit of Men in t'owmunlty
Yorkville men and those of other
towns and communities in York county
and over the *Ut? huve of recent
month# received from one "Paunoo
Hill, the Blind Tie Man of St. Louis,"
boxes containing three knit ties which
they did not order. Along with the
ties in each instance c^me a letter
saying thai 'Taunee Bill" was sending
the neck-wear which if satisfac%
tory was worth a dollar and if not to
please send them back. Most people
who have been recipients of the ties
ha ve sent the dollar, not because they
believed the ties worth it or wanted
them but in order to help u blind man.
It appears that this blind tie man is
wealthy and is an unscrupulous
sk\pik. According to a story in a recent
issue of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
"Paunee" is worth big money.
Here is the story carried by the St.
Louis paper in expose of the blind
tie man:
The high pressure mail campaigns
used by "Necktie Tyler, the Blind Tie
Man," both of St. Louis, in
trying to sell ties to every man and
hoy in the country have been the
source of hundreds of inquiries and
complains to the post office department.
In private life "Paunee Bill' is
Samuel Presberger and "Necktie Tyler"
is Krnest Howell, both blind and
both proteges of Jacob H. Karchmer,
all seeing and far sighted promoter of
things with a chArity appeal, who was
expejled from the American Legion in
1924. Karchmer set Presberger up in
butyniess in 1925, to their mutual prosperity,
and last October he left Preshprger
and established Howell.
The magnitude of this merchandise
by mail is indicated by Presberger's
admitted expenditure of $200,000 for
postage last year. Karchmer, for the
three months beginning last October,
reported net profits of $12,229.
"Necktie Tyler" holds forth at 1412A
Washington avenue. Karchmer and
his $100,000 corporation, the Mississippi
Valley Knitting Mills, are at No.
1718 Washington. Karchmer finances
his operations and sell him ties, "Tyler"
told a Post-Dispatch reporter.
"Paunee Bill's' Mail Order House,
Inc., a $10,000 corporation, is quartered
at 517 Morgan street, around
the corner from the St. Louis Knitting
Mills, 810 North Sixth street,
which lias the same executives.
"Paunee Bill" offers three fiber
| s.lk neckties for $1.; "Necktie Tyler"
j offers four for $1.25. In fact, they do
more than cdTer the ties; without
waiting for a{i oider they mail packages
of ties J\) thousands?even hundreds
of thoo-ands of persons in all
the larger eltiea of the nation and
many of the towns and village*. Recipient*
are urged to forward a remittance,
or return the tie*. When
the tie* come back, they are sent out
again and again uptil finally sold.
Thu* a fiber silk necktie may enjoy
the distinction of having traveled
a* far east as Shelbourne, Vt., a* far
west as Pocatello, Idaho, as far south
as New Orleans, and as far north as
Milwaukee, before being worn by one
of Omaha's well-dressed men.
St. Louis, alone, is barred from the
sales map. Both the local tie magnates
have a policy of not mailing ties
to St. Louisiana. The reason for this
may lie in the opposition of the St.
Louis Better Business bureau to the
sales methods. I
now the "charity" idea is used to
expedite collection is shown in Form
letter No. 3, which "Necktie Tyler"
mails to persons alleged to be^ keepnlg
his ties and npt paying therefor.
The letter is on the stationery of,
and signed in rubber stamp by S. Sylvan
Agastein, attorney, with offices
in the Central National bank building,
and reads as follows:
"I am a lawyer?no doubt that is
why my good friend 'Necktie Tyler'
dropjHid in to see me yesterday.
"There was something on his mind,
something unpleasant, I felt sure the
minute I laid my eyes on him, I helped
him to a chair, got him seated, clasped
his hand as usual?but there was
something wrong. Old 'Necktie'
seemed sad. He just hesitated,
though, blinked his lifeless eyes.
Finally he told me what the trouble
was.
"It seemed he has adked you by letter
(two letters, in fact) to please
pend him his money ($1.25) for the
four fibre silk neckties he sent you
some three months ago, or to return
the ties?and that he has deceived no
reply from you whatsoever. He asked
me to advise him. Three months is a
1-o-n-g time to hold back a blind
man's dollar and a quarter.
"Poor soul! There is nothing I
could do. One dollar and twenty-five
cents is a small amount for an attorney
to advise about. . .
"But the matter was not to be dismissed
so easily. It kept recurring to
my mind, until now here I sit, writing
to you myself.
"Naturally, lawyers learn a great
deal about human nature. I, myself,
long since observed that it is good in
the main. Folks mean well. For instance,
I know just how it is with you.
The answer is an oversight on your
part?not petty meanness of spirit or
lack of confidence for a brother man
who is 'up and at it' despite that most
disheartening of all human afflictions
:?blindness. . .
"Friend, send this man his money
or his merchandise. He sent you post
of it youMl
the pUIn, .veryd.y
thing."

EVERY person who takes part in one of tlie many fake real
estate rallies that are going on wins because there are no
losers, regardless of the numbers they hold. The numbers, in
fuct, are only the bait to entice people into
the scheme. The rallies are what might be
termed "come-on" traps to catch investors.
If you have ever tried your luck with a real
estate raffle you doubtless felt like giving
three cheers when advised that you had
won, not knowing that in winning you had
taken your first step toward being caught
in the trap. You we:e momentarily overcome
with joy over your success which
looked to you like the "luck of a lifetime "
Puffed over your good fortune, you
hastened out to inspect your newly acouired
piece of property. A high-pressure salesman
representing the syndicate that was
"giving" you the lot walked bv your side.
After a tiresome trip through an um!"drablo
district the salesman pointed out your
new real estate holdings,?a narrow, shallow
lot, unimproved, uneven, and wit.h r:o
convenience s sncn as water. scwor, gas and electricity. Not
even graded streets or sidewalks. Not worth its taxes!
before you were* fully awake to the fact that you had been

Wh?re You Begin to Lo?e
Perhaps, as you stood there, you :
began to suspect that other "winners"!
o*.d come to view the same lot you !
had won. If you reached the conrlu- ;
sion that It was being repeatedl> used
as "bait" you were right. You real :
taed that after all there ta nothing free
about so-called free things. But others, j
unfortunately less suspicious than
you, would be Impressed by the glow '
e -riaii) expenses in connection with
the transfer. which, however. would
exceed the actual value of the prize
lot.
There Is toothing to be gamed in par
llcipa'lng in fako real estate rallies.
There are plenty of legitimate sales.
Raffles usually are only halt used to
trap you. Of course, you win. but In
winning you lose tf you go through
with it. Before drawing your money
out of your savings account to go into
a real estate scheme consult your hanker
or a Better Business Bureat to find
out whether It Is a bona fide plan.
Spend time to save money!
