BY JIM MARSHALL NE of the favorite schemes of the bunco men in O Seattle is the sale of “half interest” or “partner- ship” in various shady or non-existent firms. There are,.of course, thousands of legitimate oppor- tunities for buying into reputable firms, but in any case the buyer should know what he is about and know exactly what he is doing. It’s a lot simpler to get in than it is to get out. A favorite trick of the bunco men is to sell the vic- tim a half interest in a business—let’s say a rooming house. First they discover how much the victim has. amount is set as the first payment.

One Seattle stock, for which salesmen are coe $20 a share, may be bought from brokers at $11 and $ 2. Incidentally, buyers of the stock are being promised 100 per cent net earnings this year.
