A "stuffed flat" is a place where something is offered for sale, actually by a dealer, but apparently Furniture, household appli-
by a private party. ances, jewelry, and furs are
"stuffings" with "bargain prices" for the bait.
Posing as a widow, a person who is sick, one about to move, or who has "seen better days" the "stuffed flat" operator cleverly sets the trap for victims and their dollars. Most anything of that
sort has been found effective.
The "stuffed flat" operator uses such "sob stuff" as selling appeal, and often changes telephone numbers and addresses as fast or faster than the Better Business Bureau and legitimate advertising media can catch up with them.
"Here today, gone tomorrow—with your money" best describes "stuffed flat" operations. Buy nothing, for your pocket-book's sake, the sale of which is accomplished by sharp practice and mis-
representation.
