BUSINESS NOTICES. [Advt.] TJHE GREAT RODANOW AMERICAN WATCH FRAUD. A MERICA ia a country^Tbfg thirds, from big rivers ■**■ to big swindles. One of the boldest frauds heard of for sometime Is the Rodanow watch swindle, particulars ol which we publißh in another column. It was a wonderful piece of American enterprise of the cheating order. It was sublime m its audacity ; beautiful (of a kind) in its simplicity. We regret that a good many people in Sydney have been ytotimlsed. The advertisements came in such a businesslike way— everything was so apparently straightforward, that no i suspicion waaarouised until the last Californlan mail brought tho Intelligence of the arrest of the prisoner, the oily principal In the fraud. We can only say that we shall keep a sharper look out on our enterprising cousins on the other side of the Pacific for the future. Experience of this kind is sufficient to create grave , ooubts of anything having the reputation of America about it, be it human or the product of one of the wonderful factories in that oountry of enterprising people. It is one of the misfortunes rlways attaching to the discovery of swiodlei of this kind that it arouses afeeliDg of suspicion with respect to matters that are perfectly genuine, and, in f*ct, beyond all possible doubt. Tne substantial and straightforward merchant and manufacturer is then apt to suffer the injustice and annoyance of an unfounded suspicion, simply because some person purporting to be in a similar business has turned out a scoundrel.,- In another column of this^issu'e we publish an advertisement of a firm of watchmakers, that of Messrs. BTtWAIiT DjAWdON and 00., 121 Park road, Liverpool, England. We have much pleasure in expressing our upmost confidence in the bona fides of the firm mentioned, and in the substantial character of their house and its dealings with its clients.— Town and Country Journal, Sydney, 26th March, 1881. ; ' ' | NEW SEEDS !
