heights, adding more than fifty per cent 

 to the 1920 prices on Lilium candidum 

 bulbs. But the limit was not then 

 reached. Preliminary offers on bulbs of 

 this flower reveal an advance of ap- 

 proximately twenty-five per cent over 

 the high prices of 1921. Contrary to last 

 year's quotations, advances this season 

 are largest on the smaller-sized bulbs 

 and less on the biggest sizes. The prices 

 quoted on Lilium candidum by a Paris 

 firm are here given, with the prices of 

 1920 and 1921 alongside for comparison. 

 The quotations are f . o. b. Paris and do 

 not include packing, carriage, freight, 

 insurance or any costs at this end. 

 Shipment is to be in July and August. 

 Here are the figures:

PEACOCK REPORTED INDICTED. 



True bills .against Everette R. Pea- 

 cock and four others, former officers 

 of the Everette R. Peacock Seed Co. 

 or officers of the Milwaukee-Irving 

 bank, were reported to have been voted 

 by the grand jury at Chicago. 



Formal indictments will probably be 

 returned before Chief Justice Scanlan 

 before the end of the week, it was said. 

 It is expected that they will contain at 

 least twelve counts against Peacock 

 and his codefcndants, charging them 

 with various forms of conspiracy to ob- 

 tain funds from the Milwaukee-Irving 

 bank by fraudulent means. 



The four who, it is said, are held 

 with Peacock to be responsible for the 

 frenzied financial deals which resulted 

 in a $450,000 shortage in the Milwau- 

 kee-Irving bank are: Axel Setterberg, 

 former vice-president of the seed com- 

 jiany; Albert Sporleder, former presi- 

 dent of the bank; Albert Gascon, for- 

 mer seed company oflBcer, and Harold 

 W. Anderson, cashier of the bank. 



The circumstances which led to the 

 indictment mentioned were described in 

 last week's issue of The Review. 



REVISINO A MAILING LIST. 



Buying Buyers with Advertising. 



Do j'ou want to build up a mailing 

 list of names of purchasers? Would 

 you like to eliminate the waste of your 

 I)rinted matter which reaches the mere 

 information seeker? The firm of 

 Stumpp & Walter Co., Xew York, 

 operates under the principle that when 

 you meet a man who is willing to pay 

 out even the small sum of $2 as a 

 material evidence that his jesthetic 

 nature craves development, you can 

 make up your mind that riglit here is 

 material for a permanent customer. 

 "But," you a.sk, "how am I to dis- 

 tinguish between the two men?" That 

 is easy. You let them tell you them- 

 selves. You simply place a stimulus be- 

 fore them and observe what their reac- 

 tions are towards it. The results are 

 the foundation of your active mailing 

 list. The manner in wliich the Stumpp 

 & Walter Co. lias worked up an excel- 

 lent mailing list was described in the 

 April 20 issue of Printers' Ink by 

 James True, as follows:
