On the Lam

 June 28, 1933, Appleton Post-Crescent

As the saying goes, if something is too good to be true, it usually is.  Now, $3 doesn't sound like all that much to lose but in the throes of the Depression, it was a considerable amount. Adjusted for inflation, the buying power for $3.00 in 1933 is equal to $63.85 in 2022.  I wonder how often this scam succeeded around the valley.
