Look Out
For This Trick
Manufacturers of Vending Machines who
occasion to ship to Latin America should look out for an old tr1
that is being constantly played, although it has been exposed
export agencies on a number of occasions.
The game is to send a small deposit for a machine shipP^
C. O. D. When the machine arrives, the consignee refuses
^accept it. The result is, the shipper must pay the charges bo
ways, which they oftentimes find unprofitable to do. The consigflfj
"has a confederate who then buys up these articles which are he
at the wharf for the charges. As the shipper has guaranteed t*1
carrier the delivered charges one way, the carrier will dispose 0
these articles for an insignificant sum. This is an old trick, ye
manufacturers still bite. One of our advertisers told us last
that he had bitten on it several times.
