Eluding the Customs Inspectors of Paris 



Below: Customs inspectors were 

 attracted to a lawyer who car- 

 ried his portfolio under his arm 

 instead of by the handle. It was 

 found to contain a bookshaped 

 vessel filled with dutiable liquor 



This man looked like a prosper- 

 ous merchant of generous pro- 

 portions; but the inspectors soon 

 found that he wore a whiskey- 

 tilled c>'linder under his coat 



The convenience of 

 a tubular horse col- 

 lar could never be 

 overlooked by the 

 liquor smugglers

The face of the woman above 

 was too youthful for her waist- 

 line. It was found that she 

 wore a rubber petticoat stocked 

 with the most expensive liquors
