"Sure-thing" Steve and his pals searched the map for prospective country towns in which they could bunco the inhabitants. They decided the town of Simpville would fall for a fake auction sale. The rubes figured that they were wealthy city chaps so soaked them double for everything. The regular rates at the hotel were 50 cents a day. To the city guys it was $2.50 per. They rented a $30-a-month storeroom for $100. Business started with a flourish. They were just getting things going right when in came the Village Justice and pinched them for operating without a license. They had a trial by jury and the fine was just $50 and costs. The leading citizens deposited money in the local bank next day, while the grafters beat it hack to the city. Moral: The Shake-down was invented in a small town.
