Widow Lures End in Green Goods Swindle Tale
A New York farmer’s tale of gullibility in a column on married widows, cons, and courtship. It notes how green goods scams, gold brick schemes, and banko steerer plots ensnare the unwary, with a Posterville man mocked for failing to shave before a hoped for match. The piece lampoons social naivety and the enduring urge to marry for money, while blaming no one but the victim’s own habits.
