Many of these, having a few hundred or thousand trade or has snared dozens of dollars and wishing to ye something to do,” are easy prey for crooked “investment opportunity” and “business chance” impresarios. And lately a new scheme has crept in, an offshoot of the illegitimate liquor traffic. Dozens of small grocery stores and rooming houses, and not a few garages, are connected with illicit booze traffic. For months the rooming houses peddle moon- shine; the groceries do a thriving trade in bottled goods; the garages handle booze cars, which use them as transfer stations. Then, perhaps, there's a tip that the federals are going to raid the place. Or the game becomes less lucrative. Well, find a sucker and sell it to him—or her.” A few weeks ago a widow, inexperienced in busi- ness, bought a fruit and soft drink stand just outside the business section. The owner had listed it at $700; the brokerage concern from which she bought it got $850—all she had. The seller got $600. When the brokerage concern sold the widow the concern for $250 more than it gave the seller it told her that “substantial daily profits” were to be made. So they were—but not by running a soft drink stand. She took possesssion and waited for customers. They came via the telephone. Hello, is Bill there?” said the voice at the other end. “Tell him to send up a pint right a “A pint of what?” asked the widow. “Moonshine, of course,” said the voice. The widow had no desire to sell moonshine and no moonshine to sell, either. Her legitimate trade amounted to $2 or $3 a day. Try to get some “stb- stantial daily profits” out of that. = * « NE GARAGE in Seattle is being sold, oyer and over again, on a sort of endless chain system. It was sold not long ago for $1,750. Then the buyer discovered that its main business was not coun- tenanced by the Volstead act. He got out, taking $1,000 for his “interest.” Profit to somebody else: $750. The brokerage concern turned around and sold the same garage, this time for $2,100. It took it back a few weeks later for $1,700: Profit, $400. The third sale, not long ago, was for $1,500. The latest pur- chaser has a backbone and is fighting for his full purchase price. He says he doesn’t care to go into the bootlegging business. alt Ea | HOSE are some of the methods used by Seattle crooks to coax dollars, laboriously saved, from the pockets of Seattle men and women.
