Furniture Club Swindle Preys on Buyers in Town
Mrs. Burrell joins a Furniture Club promoted by representative Goodley from Pagwell Furniture Co. Fifty weekly payments total five dollars, with weekly drawings allegedly awarding a $250 living room set. After payments stop, no drawings exist, contracts lack draw terms, and Goodley vanishes. Mrs. Burrell discovers no actual set at the store and faces loss while friends also suffer. She regrets recommending the scheme.
