A Busy Inspector Regulates Weights In Indianapolis.

In tjje city of Indianapolis there are some dishonest middlemen: It requires the greatest activity on the part of Isador Wolfson to keep regulated. The icemen give short weights, so dd the coal dealers, while the produce middlemen are the subject of constant discussion. They seem to put one over whenever the chance is good. This summer Mr. Wolfson has been devoting his time mainly to the icemen, hut a week or two ago while out on an ice weighing trip he spied a coal hauler and asked for the weight ticket and then had the coal weighed. It was some 200 pounds short of the amount the ticket called for. The dealer was fined. No honest dealer will object to your weighing what you get at your home and since a busy inspector has so much trouble In Indianapolis, it will not be amiss for you to have a pair of scales in your own home.
