Maying It on the Farmers Fraud Alarm in Wisconsin
A warning describes sharpers preying on credulous farmers in Wisconsin. An agent for a sewing machine company offers six machines with a binding write up that if five are sold for fifty dollars each, the sixth is kept by the agent, and if not sold in six months the farmer returns the machines with no charge for use. The deceit uses a torn note trick worth 250 dollars, then discounted to the fraudster. Suspected operators travailed Hazel Green Township and other Southern Wisconsin areas, trapping scores of farmers. Galena (Zi) Cazes notes the scheme’s spread and urges vigilance.
