Before sending the picture he demands money for, either ( a) cost of a suitable frame, or ( 6) cost of pack- ing case and transit.

For the information of Police and for their guidance, it is to be noted that there is a tendency among certain doubt- ful traders to dispose of the letters they receive in answer to their adyertisements to other doubtful traders, either by sale or exchange- The signature is then cut from each letter, affixed to an artfully worded circular and sent to the writer. The recipient frequently writes Police to enquire how his or her signature came into possession of sender, or suggesting that it has been forged- Very many how- ever seeing their own signature imagine that the firm is genuine, and so are easily deceived.
