large ingeniously worded adver thseinent in the newspapers offering at half full quarts Under this alluring (to the thirsty) heading the Bixby Consolidated Company praised their whiskey and told at length wha fine goods tliey had They closed by proposing to ship full bottles for $550: 20 bottles for $10 40 bot ties for and they proposed to give to the purchaser of $10 worthof whiskey full quart of 10 year old or to the purchaserof $20 worth bottles of 10 year old Thu advertisement was so well worded and the words and socarcfully inserted that the average purchaser thought he would get ten quarts for $5 50 20 quarts for $10 etc 'when in fact for the sums named he re ceived only ten pints and 20 pints respectively If a kick wasmadeat tention was called to the fact that the Bixby Company
