Jasper County Democrat, Volume 12, Number 55, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 October 1909 — BRANDED AS FRAUDS. [ARTICLE]

BRANDED AS FRAUDS.

The Democrat was recently called up by ’phone by a party living north of Rensselaer and asked if we knew of Rensselaer and- asked if we knew anything about the reliability or a party who was in that locality canvassing for the Cincinnati Enquirer; offering articles of kitchen ware as a premium to secure subscribers. A few days ago the Enquirer published the following statement which our readers will do well to remember: ’ A BIG FRAUD. Each year, beginning with October, one or more dishonest parties travel through Indiana—sometimes venturing over to Ohio—representing themselves, as agents for The Enquirer and other journals, carrying a supply of kitchen wares which they sell to any who will buy, and promise a year’s subscription to The Weekly Enquirer, or any other paper that may be wanted. So far as The Enquirer is concerned these parties are rank frauds. We have each year cautioned the public against them, as we have no traveling solicitors, and never offer goods of any kind through our local agents, who are all well known in the territory they live and work in. We have not received from these impostors subscriptions, nor do we know the party who got the money. i We again say, pay no money to strangers, and no one win have cause to complain of being swindled.
