The Saturday Evening Post featured whimsical, Americana-ish paintings like this on its cover, many drawn by the famous artist Norman Rockwell. Although this one definitely looks like his style (I thought it was) it was apparently done by one of the many other artists who drew Post covers, Leslie Trasher.

Jul 5, 2017 at 16:27	comment	added	user239460		@Roger Sinasohn thanks for your editting. the word in my mother tongue is a verb, but i don't know if It's a verb, phrase or expression in English, so i made several tags. btw, i think the title might needs to include a verb as well.
Jul 5, 2017 at 16:18	comment	added	Roger Sinasohn		I think that may be my fault; I edited the title to make more sense and put word rather than term. I'll fix that.

Jul 5, 2017 at 15:52	comment	added	John Feminella		@Hank In the title. "What is the English word for cheating customers with an inaccurate scale?"
