A Caution.

We learn that a swindling concern in Chicago, under the name of “Union Furnishing Co.,” or “Geo. B. Hodge & Co.” has been, and is, flooding the country with certificates at 25 cents each, entitling the holder to wonderful bargains in the purchase of goods, &c., &c. It is a swindle. They do not design to return the goods ordered. It is estimated that they have already robbed their customers of seventy-five thousand dollars. Their place of business is now closed by the sheriff; but the mails are still open to them to draw money from all parts of the country. Don’t send a penny to them, nor to any other parties who offer to furnish goods at less than cost. Men are not given in these days to such disinterested benevolence.
