Heath) In the series of bulletins the Chamber of Commerce hua offered through the press of Camden, we have sought to point out aorne of the racketa that are being conatantly worked and for which many of our citizens are gyped out of niuny dollars during the year. What we have offered are not all of | the akin guinea. Iu concluding this aeries of bulletins the Chamber of Commerce urges the people of Camden and Keratinw county to refuse to purchase from strangers, no matter what they offer to you, whether It be magazines, books, novelties, ruga, and the like. Tell the solicitor that you only deal with thoroughly investigated propositions. This will save Camden and Camden people hundreds of dollars ani nually. If you meet a new racket, call Phone .67 and tell the Chamber of Commerce about it. The Chamber of Commerce has offered (he series of racket bulletins in the interest of legitimate buslnesa, and we ask every man and woman in Camden to quit llligltimate competitors to Camden business. * Temporary 8tores and Auctions Temporary stores and auctions of Jewelry, rugs, oriental goods are frequently well staged traps for the unwary barguin seeker. It is safer and more profitable to patronize only wellknown merchants. Free Lots, Gift Parcels and Real Estate Free lots, gift parcels and real estate are presented by elaborate circulars, letters and personal calls. Look these "Gift-Horses In the Mouth." The catch may be in the fees for recording and abstract, in taxes, in buying additional lands, and (he like. Catalogues With Leaders Catalogues with leaders garner many mall order dollars. Some well known or nationally advertised watch, or other article, Is offered at a price far below its recognized value, but other cunningly presented articles carry prices so extravagant that the "halt" is expensive after all; even assuming (hat the customers actually vets the gdodjf according to the catalogue. "Home Town" Movies and Talkies "Home Town "movies and talkies are made very attractive by those who live by promoting local "Scenaries." Consult local theatre operators before signing up to buy the film or to become an actor, then "think through" just how such a film could be circulated and what the cash advertising value would be. Cripples With Insurance Checks Cripples with insurance chocks are conducting a very plausible "racket." The only trouble is the good looking check, voucher or draft, for settlement. or partial payment to the injured holder thereof is a forgery. The company whose name appears on the document does not exist. One forcery operator has admitted that ho was purchasing these forged and fictitious checks from a Chicago organization which specialized in issuing various kinds of forgeries and selling them to operatives throughout the country. Watch out for this one. It's clover.. The Factory Promoter Th? factory promoter has many approaches, his schemes are legion. Take all proposals for new factories up with your hanker and your Chamber of Commerce is eagerly anxious to eucourase and help any proposal to increase our "bucket brigade" or bring a new industry here ami will treat all tentative plans in strictest confidence but will develop all the pertinent facts and not guess.
