' to The Tribune investigator s re-quest
to see the leather couch at $8, he
led the way to the basement and
pointed out a hybrid article on four
legs.
"Is this genuine leather?" asked
The Tribune man.
"That's what it was sold to me
for." was the cautious reply.
"Well, don't you know'.'"
"When I bought it I took their
word for it. I haven't got time to
look up the bill row."
"Where did you buy it?"
?*Safft\ ?rrt" should have been Mr. Newitter'a cue at this point.
Bot he ?a.?- in a IB Id glow of satisfaction at having sold a pic-ce of woful
iBtik at a fat pro:.: (for the purchase had meantime been made) ami he
?re the addiasi I N. (iarmise, 1477 Third Avenue. Straight to N.
Gtnr.ise want thi .-vestigators, snd N. (iarmise promptly, though inno
ttBtlv, threw Mr. WstrftaW to the wolves.
?"Mr. New "ter" Sure, 1 know him. He's one of my regular cue
?jsjgrt; been buying furniture of me for a long time. He comes in and
ton ?p stock that is or. the floor, stock I couldn't sell to my trade, and
ans a better price for it over there than I get here. In fact, aome of it
I can't sell at all."
Th? "Telegram" advertisement was shown to Mr.'Garmise, the pur?
chase flssjcrihtd to him, and the question put as to whether or not he sold
tat couch to Newitter ns genuine leather.
"What did he .ay it was?" he countered.
"He sai'i re ,i- ;*:"t know."
"Then it wasn't leather. These couches are billed to us by the manu?
facturers either a? genuine leather or as leather. Those billed as leather
ne ?miUtion."
"Would yoj sell that kind of couch as leather?"
"No, sir; I certainly would not." Mr. Garmise pointed to the hoax
boc?e clipping from "The Telegram." "Those people are killing the furni
tar* business with the big prices they get for that kind of goods. A man
il a fool to go to any of these folks expecting to get a bargain."
Certainly it was no bargain that The Tribune purchasers got from
Mr. Newitter. The frame of the couch is odds and end? of packing-box
lamt>er, fared srith a plain oak strip, which is not carved but pressed,
fae cover.nf*-* is a canvas imitation of leather of the cheapest kyid.
Couches of this sort can be mads up to wholesale at from $48 to $60 a
dozen.
As to Mr. Newitter'? pretensiona to a legitimate trade in diamonds
en Nassau Street, they seem to be as hollow a sham as his furniture
nasmssi. There is a Milton R. Newitter. of the reputable diamond firm
of ?Yankauer, N't witter and Platt, formerly of 73 Nassau Street, and
no? of 2 Maiden I.ane, who does not live at 30 West Eighty-second Street,
tad who ha.? nothing to do with the hoax-house there. He is at present
ia Boston, but his partner. Mr. Yankauer, upon learning of the furniture
f?er'i statemer.t. at once offered to accompany The Tribune's representa?
tive to the hou?e. Confronted by Mr. Yankauer, ths furniture dealer
Nieitter admitted that he was not in the diamond business on Nassau
Strset and di?c!aimed any intention of passing himself off as Milton R.
?twitter. Irte leo tally, he was quite wroth at The Tribune man, as he
had meantime h<*ard from N. Garmitse.
"Beer. -, a*>out that lousy eight-dollar couch you bought of me,
haven't you!'' he obsenrad delicately. "Well, bring it back, and /'// give
jw your Boi?.', back."
With all due thanks. The Tribune prefers Mr. Newitter's couch?
pit? his betrayal of his line of trad???to his money. As to his emphatic
tharacteriiation of the article of furniture, it may or may not be as repre
*t*d. I have not yet had it examined by an entomologist.
The upper We-t Side is quite a centre for the furniture hoax-houses,

Contrition clogs tint doe's not wholly hind my pen a* I come to
write of Mr. Alfred L Meerman, who operates a furniture hoax-house
at 137 West Eightieth Street, with the aid of "The Evening Telegram."
?Mr. Beerman is Mich u frank and Reniai faker that it goes against the
grain to show him up. But his advertisements cannot be passed over;
they're too pood. "Musi sell this week at preat sacrifice almost new fur?
niture, " announces Mr. Meerman, and heads his announcement, "A Private
Sale! No Dealer?!'1 In print Mr. Meerman is a most stupendous liar.
I really repret to state this beraube of the enpapinp vein of truth which
he opened up in his personal conversation. Consideration of a couch,
"genuine Spanish leather and solid oak," he said, at |20 "cost you $46
in a store"?led to the disclosure.
"This couch looks new," I remarked.
"It is new."
"How lonp have you had it?"
"About a day."
"Hut I thoupht you were moving out. Your advertisement says that
you must sell this week."
".No I'm not moving out. I've been right here four years, and I
intend to stay."
"Then why must you Bell this week?"
Mr. Beerman smiled, "That's my business. I'm a dealer."
"A repular furniture dealer?"
"Sure." Mr. Beerman seemed to enjoy the sensation which he thought
he was making.
"Then where do you get your goods?"
"From the manufacturer, of course. I've got my own methods of
buying, and I can sell for half the price charged at a regular store."
Herein he regrettably wandered from the straipht and narrow path of
truth, but soon reverted to it.
"All t-hese people who sell from houses are dealers. Every one of
'em. There are eight of 'em right here in this neighborhood. Others
will give you a hard luck story about having to move out right away.
Not me. I always tell my customers the truth. But, you take my word
for it, these other people that advertise sacrifice house sale?, they're all
buying from the manufacturer and selling to the public at a fair profit
just as I am. Only they don't tell you the truth."
Nor did Mr. Beerman, thereafter, evidently deeming that he had
bestowed enough of that rare commodity upon us. For, when the real
bargaining l>egun, he sold us an armchair which he guaranteed as solid
oak upholstered in genuine leather, for $8. Fifty cents additional was
paid for delivery. Had it been as represented, it would have been a
bargain indeed; it might even have secured for this particular "private
sale" dealer a measure of immunity, taken into consideration with his
engaging frankness. But, alas for truth, when it bumps into the business
of a hoax-house! The chair is represented on the receipt as "1 solid oak
armchair, uph. in genuine Sp. (Spanish) leather."
Well, the leather is genuine enough part way, but when one comes
to the outside covering of the back, there is a change. If that is Spanish
leather, then Sancho Panza's mule must have grown on a stalk! The
material is just a common imitation of leather. As for the "solid oak" a
considerable part of it is ash. As the retail value is about $7.50, we paid
(including delivery cost), a bonus of nearly l? per cent on ?Mr. Beerman's
little "Evening Telegram" hoax.
"If it's pink, it's punk." Yet, "The Evening Telegram" exploits its
own classified columns through which the hoax-houses secure their trade
as being "considered the safest medium in America for making sales."

bargain
the following
points, brought
out in The Trib?
une's purchasing
expeditions
among the hoax
houses, are pre?
sented :
1?The adver?
tisements are
false both as re?
gards c i r c u in?
stances of sale,
quality of goods,
and worth of bar?
gains.
2?The goods
are almost in?
variably of low
grades; often counterfeits both in woodwork and upholstery, and not infre
ouentlv shop worn articles or discontinued patterns.
3-The prices charged are higher than the charge for the same
articles at a retail .tore, as indicated by the interview with N. Garm.se.
4?As high as 16 per cent additional must be paid for delivery, a
charge not made by legitimate shops.
5-The purchaser has no reasonable expectation of getting his money
back, as he would at a legitimate store, since he is expected to "take it as
you see it"; moreover, in many cases, the lease may have closed and the
hoax-house reverted to its owner soon after the purchase, leavmg the
purchasers in the lurch with no redress.
Finally, the highways of trade are the only safe paths for the
general public. The woman who buys furniture, or for that matter, dothes
automobiles, violins, typewriters, or groccnes, at a reputable hop w th
an established trade, gets one big item thrown ,n, the good a.th of the
2re. Ninav-nine times out of a hundred she pays less and get. more
than the hopeful haunter of the by-paths. The only value that the
tirmed bargain hunter is sure to get for her money ? experience, r
.ich as can afford it. it is desirable enough. But it comes high, an
or
nd
few there are who know what they are buying in that market.

BLACKWELL'S CAT
TO SAVE RAT DOGS
Riker's Island Champions,
Hard Pressed by Foe, to
Get Aid Soon.
REV. NICHOLS'S BILL
IS PRISONERS' PET
Reared on Staten Island with
Bunny Pal, He Went to Cli-an
Up Penitentiary.
The unfortunate dogs that are fight?

Bill Nichols comes to dwell among
them, as he will when Commissioner !
of Correction Katharine Bernent Da-'
vis gets her new hospital and chap?-!
built, there will be small chance f.,r
the rodents.
Bill is now a reaident of Blackwell's
Island, a member of the family of
the Rev. William Nichols, the Prat?]
en?nnt chaplain there. The Rev.
Nichols spends most of his time, when
not ministering; to th" prl?oners, ir [
telling of the prowess of his name?
sake, Bill. Bill, in his own way, mir
isters to the welfare of the prisoner?,
too. They adore him and vie for thj
privilege of petting him. The pastor
tells of one woman doing; "time" on
the island who every morning; walks
up and down before the door of the,
Nichols apnrtments, crooning;:
"William, my darling;, come to
mother. Come to mother, darling". '
Mr. Nichols says this woman isn t
quite right mentally. But Bill see*
nothing wrong with her mentality.
He accepts her adoration complacent?
ly, purring and arching his back. Has
it been mentioned that Bill is a cat?
Well, he is -a handsome black-and
white, short-haired variety, yellow
eyed and with long, manrv whiskers.
He is eighteen months old.
Bill went to live with the Nichols
family at the tenner age of three weeks.
Their home was on Staten Island th.n.
Bill was the only kitten in the house,
and as time we^it on he longed tor a
playmate. One day he spied a little
wild rabbit peeping from the trees back
of the plaee. On the authority of Mr. :
Nichols, who says his cloth ought to
save him from the suspicion of nature
faking, it is said that in a few days
Bill and th* rabbit were sporting to?
gether like two young lambs. They
became fast friends, the rabbit coming
to play in Bill's backyard every day.
When, fifteen months ago, the family
went to Blackwell's Island, Mr. Nichols
says the rabbit sat on the back fence
and watched them depart with an ex
pression of almost human woe.
Bill made the trip in Mrs. Nichols's ;
arms, wrapped in a black velvet bag.
He stood the railway Journey all right,
but objected to the pitching of the j
