Examples

“Perhaps you have⟳ met a shiller. If you haven't, read⟳ this definition of him gleaned from the columns of the San Francisco Bulletin: […] Down in the basement they demonstrate⟳ the auto-camping outfit, installed on a trailer. You press⟳ a button and the thing blossoms out into a tent, two beds with mattresses, a cook⟳ stove and cooking utensils, a sideboard and a bottle of Cliquot. A husky-voiced chap with a red brush on his chin shuffled up to the demonstrater. "Do you want⟳ a shiller for this outfit?" he asked. "I don't get⟳ you," said the demonstrator. "A shiller — a come-on — a capper — you know⟳. I want⟳ to show⟳ the people how them beds work⟳. […] Just let⟳ me demonstrate⟳ one of them beds. It won't cost⟳ you a cent. When you get⟳ the crowd, I come⟳ up and say⟳, 'How much is this out?' and you tell⟳ me, and then I say⟳, 'I'll take⟳ it,' and I crawl into the hay." The demonstrator didn't seem to appreciate the generous offer⟳.”
