Important article on the subject for the
August American Magaslne, from which the
following Is taken:
Is it, then, that all dealer or tha mn-
Jority of dealers are dishonest? Far from

dealers who are Inherently dishonest, or who
might be said to have criminal tendencies
to wish to defraud their customers. 'This,
of course, they can do with Impunity, in
asmuch aa the customer takes upon faith
what Is given him; but there are a great
many dealers who know that the customer
does not know, and, having to meet keen
and sharp competition, and seeing that
their neighbors prosper by giving short
weight or measure, acquire the habit and
do likewise. Thoy are the ones who need
protection, and who would not giva ahort
weight or measure If there were an efficient
Inspection to keop the Inherently dishonest
competitor In check.
When cranberries were selling at 11 cents
a quart, dry measure, and were so sold
by all cf the merchants In Rochester, an
enterprising dealer advertised them for
10 cents a quart and gava a lioulrf n.wrt

or weights and measures deception Is to

the loss due to such practice is evident.
