THE PALM SWINDLE AGAIN. 



The palm swindlers are still at work. 

 Our last report is from Des Moines, 

 la., where the regulation scheme was 

 successfully worked upon a leading 

 florist. This time the swindler repre- 

 sented himself to be a member of the 

 family of a well-to-do customer of the 

 florist and gave an order for a lot of 

 palms to be used at a lawn party. The 

 palms were sent and the delivery man 

 was met at the gate by the swindler 

 ^nd a companion who it afterward 

 transpired had previously obtained per- 

 mission in the florist's name to leave 

 the palms there till they could be dis- 

 tributed to customers in the neigh- 

 borhood. After the delivery man left 

 they sold the plants at ridiculously 

 low prices to people in the vicinit.v. 



This scheme seems to have become 

 very popular of late with swindlers all 

 over the country and florists should be 

 sharply on guard against the smooth 

 and engaging parties who work it. It 

 js of course unpleasant to be obliged to 

 examine every such order with sus- 

 picion, but it is expensive to be other- 

 wise. Would it not be a good idea to 

 instruct the delivery man to invariably 

 report to the owner of the premises 

 something like this: "The palms or- 

 dered by you for your lawn party have 

 been delivered to the men on the lawn. 

 Would you not like me to arrange 

 them for you?" This would bring ex- 

 planations at once if anything were 

 wrong.

Wm. Cook was tempted recently f'l 

 accept a good offer for ins plant and 

 extensive land connected therewith. 

 Now he feels lost after baing in busi- 

 ness so long, so is trying to .get a part 

 back again. He has a cleaM, well ar- 

 ranged place.
