This form ¥f legislation for the protec- tion of the innocent purchaser is steadily moving Westward, but seems not to have as yet reached the state of Washington. The law makers of these various states claim as justification for the enactment of these laws that the contestants are at a disadvantage in these contests, owing to the fact that the public in general is unfamiliar with the prices of pianos and like merchandise on account of the many different makes and grades and for this reason persons or firms conducting these contests find it easy before issuing these credits to RAISE THE PRICES ON PIANOS or like merchandise in amount equal to the highest credit check, credit letter or like credit issued and thereby fraudulently charge the person to whom a smaller credit check, credit letter or like credit is issued more for the piano or like merchandise during such a sale than would be charged under other circumstances, and at other times, ied and convicted in the courts for violation of these laws, inds of manufactured evidence, such as printed price cards, try to prove that prices of the pianos or like merch- of was prc ed that these prices were especially invariably” set further defense that credit check, credit letter or like credit, the piano or like than he would if no sale was on or contest being held, and th he overcharge for the piano or like merchandise to the person hold- ing the smaller credit check, credit letter or like credit was not fraudulent, owing to the fact that the law does not prohibit a merchant from selling his merchandise cheaper to one person than to another, and further that the excessive charge was necessary in order to cover the free prizes awarded in such contests, and to de- fray the expense of heavy advertising, but in every instance the court and juries in these cases took a different view of the matter, and where no better defense has been made a conviction has been the result NO STENCIL PIANOS OR IT IS OUR POLICY TO SELL PIANOS AND LIKE MERCHANDISE AT THE LOWEST POSSI- EVERY INSTRUMENT A BLE PRICES CONSISTENT WITH QUALITY.
