Picture agents who impose on the public are again in evidence, and despite repeated warnings, many people allow themselves to be duped by them. When they call at a residence, they represent that they will enlarge a photograph free of cost, but when the picture is completed, they demand from the party from whom the photograph was secured, the purchase of a frame ranging in price from $2.50 to $9. Unless the agent secures an order for a frame with the advance payment of a dollar, they refuse to return the original photograph. In this manner and by this threat they in variably compel the customer to re luctantly come to their terns. It is the misrepresentation of the agents that the people vehemently protest against, but they should be intelli gent enough to know that they can’t get something for nothing, and, besides, this old game has been so much overworked that it has long since become threadbare
