Blowing safes, ot course, is not the most respectable business in the world but there are worse occupa- tions. Mortimer Peck reveals one in the following contribution to “Newspa- perdom,” and is of special interest because the people talked of are reaching out for “mail order” busi- ness. Says Mr. Peck: “Out in Chicago there is a man named Hartman, who runs a chain of twenty-two instalment furniture houses. He has always been a heavy advertiser. His offerings—so far as his advertising is concerned—are of the most alluring sort. He lends the impression that any man or woman can go to one of his stores and by the payment of $5.00 change misery to comfort and happiness. “During dull seasons in the past he has held sales for the purpose of whipping up business. Prices were reduced and a strenuous effort made to increase sales. When the spring season arrived this year he entered upon a ‘Human-Interest Campaign.’ Instead of shouting low prices and tremendous sales ‘he published, among others, a before and after pic- ture, showing a woman in a scantily furnished room. By the side of it was another view, showing the same woman luxuriously idling in a mag- nificently furnished parlor. “In the first picture she was lov- ingly holding her baby to her breast, while her husband, poorly clad, sat in a far corner reading a paper, un- der the dull glow of a cheap kerosene lamp. “In the second picture she had progressed, by the payment of $5.00 to Hartman on account. The baby was playing on a carpeted floor. The husband, in evening dress, was sit- ting beside a brilliant reading lamp, and there were half a dozen pictures on the walls, where there had prev- jously been but one lonely chromo. “This Hartman is the inventor of nearly all prevailing instalment fur- niture methods. He will advertise anything at any price. All he wants is to get prospective customers into his stores. Then he will sell goods at the highest prices he can get, splitting the overcharges with his salesmen. “The woman who secures a square deal has never reported to me. When it comes time to pay the $5.00 down she finds that she must explain her circumstances, describe her husband’s income and give the story of her fam- ily’s lives. The $5.00 jumps to a third of the entire purchase price. She must give a chattel mortgage on the furniture she has selected and agree to pay interest on notes which account but that the furniture is ‘only leased’ and does not become her property until principal and interest have been paid. “She signs a heavy document agreeing to let Hartman step into her home and take the furniture any time he feels like it, and consents to quietly allow the aforesaid Hartman to become possessor of numerous oth- er means by which he can annoy and scare her if payments are not made promptly. “Not only has she paid much high- er prices than the goods are worth, but she has placed herself under in- iterest charges and various restric- tions. She cannot move without con- sulting Hartman and until the very last cent has been paid Hartman will terrify her. “If there is any falling off in the instalment furniture business it is A Big Drawback. A man was praising the improve- ments by a friend In tis dwelling. “Your bouse looks a lot better now that it bax been painted.” “Well.” the man who!hbad been re- decorating admitted gloomily, “it does look a bit better. but we shall bave to keep In harmony with it.”" Liberty Cents. kirst United States cent with the symbolical head and the inscription of “Liberty” was coined in 1793.
