PUBLISHER’S  DESK 
I  nm  enclosing  two  pamphlets  handed 
me  several  days  ago  hy  n  salesman  of 
the  Guaranty  Bond  and  Trust  Co.,  of 
Chicago,  selling  the  stock  of  the  Pan- 
American  Motors  Corporation.  The  Stock 
sells,  for  $10  per  share,  one-third  cash, 
balance  six  months,  guaranteeing  20% 
•he  first  year.  As  several  of  my  fellmv 
employees  have  gone  in  for  $150.00  each 
would  be  glad  to  hear  your  opinion.

The  literature  enclosed  does  not  con- 
lain  the  guarantee  of  20%  dividend  the 
first  year  as  stated  in  the  subscriber’* 
letter.  This  may  harp  been  only  the 
effusion  of  a  salesman.  Such  a  guaran¬ 
tor  by  a  concern  of  responsibility  would 
cause  such  a  demand  for  the  stock  as  to  tax 
the  capacity  of  several  printing  presses  to 
supply  it.  The.  stock  in  trade  of  all  these 
"Blue  Sky”  automobile  stock-selling  con¬ 
cerns  is  the  big  profits  of  well-known 
manufacturers.  No  meution  is  made  of 
an  equal  number  of  automobile  manu¬ 
facturers  who  have  gone  to  the  wall. 
We  have  yet  to  learn  of  a  successful 
business  in  any  line  that  was  financed 
by  tile  sale  of  stock  to  the  public  as  the 
Pan-American  Motors  Corporation  is  at¬ 
tempting.  The  following  concerns  pre¬ 
viously  referred  to  in  this  department  are 
making  similar  pleas  for  the  savings  of 
country  people:

York.

I  am  enclosing  letter  just  received 
from  the  Bent-Albumen  Co.,  of  Antwerp, 
N.  Y.  The  shipment  of  milk  albumen 
arrived  hero  to-day  in  good  condition. 
The  arrival  of  the  goods  being  satisfac¬ 
tory  to  mo.  I  believe  the  complaint,  to 
tile  Post-Office  Department  should  he 
withdrawn.  I  again  wish  to  thank  you 
for  the  interest  taken  by  you  to  secure 
a  satisfactory  settlement  for  me.

The  complaint  of  E.  II.  8.  regarding 
bis  order  sent  to  the  above  concern  on 
March  16th  last,  appeared  in  August 
10th  issue.  The 'goods  are  received  just 
eight  days  short  of  six  months  after  the 
order  was  sent.  The  Bent-Albumen  Co. 
explain  that  milk  albumen  is  a  by-prod¬ 
uct,  and  that  it  is  sometimes  impossible 
to  get  the  goods  so  as  to  fill  orders 
promptly.  We  assume  that  this  is  true. 
The  company  also  protest  to  their  good 
faith  in  the  transaction,  which  we  are 
willing  to  acknowledge,  but  there  is  no 
excuse  for  any  business  house  accepting 
an  order  and  remittance  from  a  farmer 
and  ignoring  him  entirely  for  this  length 
of  time,  neglecting  to  respond  to  his  let¬ 
ters  and  make  explanation  as  to  why  the 
order  had  not  been  filled.  We  are  glad 
to  give  the  Bent-Albumen  Co.  credit  for 
finally  filling  the  order,  and  we  Lope  the 
incident  may  result  in  the  firm  adopting 
hotter  business  measures  in  the  future. 
1  notice  the  reference  to  Florida  lands 
in  Publisher’s  Desk,  and  I  wonder  if  you 
are  familiar  with  the  land  around  Jupi¬ 
ter,  Florida,  that  has  been  sold  by  E.  W. 
Philo,  of  Elmira,  N.  Y.  It  is  eight  miles 
west  of  Jupiter,  claimed  to  be  especially 
rich  and  productive,  and  is  sold  for  $100 
per  acre.  Mr.  Philo  claims  that  this 
Land  is  bordered  by  that  owned  by  a  man 
named  Linhart,  who  values  his  land, 
which  is  all  bearing  oranges,  at  $1,500 
per  acre.  In  the  Spring  of  101:1  I  bought 
six  acres  of  this  land  on  a  contract 
whereby  I  was  to  pay  $6  per  month  for 
100  months,  and  to  date  I  have  paid  37 
months,  a  total  of  $222,  and  never  even 
seen  the  land,  therefore  I  would  bo  grate¬ 
ful  if  you  were  to  inform  me  as  to  the 
values  in  this  locality,  and  any  other  in¬ 
formation  pertaining  to  same.  L.  J.  B. 
New  York, 
We  have  made  no  extended  investiga¬ 
tion  to  confirm  our  impressions  of  this 
proposition,  but  we  know  Mr.  Philo  is 
not  promoting  any  land  scheme  down 
there  for  his  health,  and  from  the  record 
of  his  operations  in  Elmira,  we  very 
much  fear  that  those  who  put  their  money 
into  his  Florida  land  scheme  are  not  like¬ 
ly  to  get  a  very  large  percentage  of  value 
for  their  money.  Our  advice  in  regard 
to  the  Philo  promotion  schemes  is  iden¬ 
tical  with  all  other  Florida  land  pro¬ 
moting  enterprises;  that  is,  leave  them 
strictly  alone.  If  anyone  wants  to  invest 
in  Florida  property  it  will  pay  him  to 
go  down  there  and  look  over  the  situation 
and  get  a  knowledge  at  first  hand  »>f  the 
value  of  the  land.  We  believe  anyone 
who  really  desires  to  locate  in  Florida 
can  purchase  equally  as  good  land,  as 
advantageously  located,  from  residents  at 
anywhere  from  25%  to  50%  of  the  price 
asked  by  this  class  of  promoters. 
I  shipped  two  cases  of  eggs  to  T».  P. 
Ellis,  3210  Broadway.  New  York.  I 
wrote  when  shipping  each  case,  and  have 
written  twice  since,  but  lie  never  an¬ 
swers.  Tie  wanted  two  sample  cases  with 
his  advertising.  I  supposed  he  was  in 
a  great  business  until  I  read  where  he 
had  treated  others  after  the  same  fashion.

We.  have  had  considerable  complaint 
against  Mr.  Ellis.  Although  previously 
slow  in  making  settlements,  when  we 
brought  them  to  his  attention  he  has  sent 
cheeks,  but  in  the  ease  of  the  first  sub¬ 
scriber  we  have  not  had  any  remittance 
on  the  account.  ITe  sent  the  other  sub¬ 
scriber  a  check  for  part  of  his  shipment 
but  neglects  to  make  settlement  for  the 
balance.  Our  people  will  save  money  by 
crossing  Mr.  Ellis’s  name  from  their  list, 
of  dealers. 
I  sent  two  cases  of  eggs  to  II.  F. 
Meyer,  183  Duane  Street,  New  York. 
For  the  first  crate  be  sent  ine  a  cheek, 
but  it  was  no  good.  I  sent  him  the 
second  ovate  before  I  fnuud  nut  that  the 
check  be  lmd  sent  me  was  no  good.  After 
a  few  weeks  I  wrote  asking  him  to  settle 
and  be  promised  to  do  so  within  two 
weeks.  I  have  heard  nothing  from  him 
now  in  some  time.  Can  you  do  anything 
in  the  matter?  o.  o.

A  certain  class  of  people  seem  to  find 
it  profitable  to  solicit  shipments,  neglect 
to  make  returns  and  finally  move  and 
leave  no  trace  of  their  whereabouts.  Mr. 
Meyer  has  joined  the  class,  and  wo  are 
unable  to  get  any  adjustment  of  the 
claim.  It  may  take  a  fpw  days  to  look 
into  a  man’s  standing,  but  it  is  worth  il 
in  view  of  the  losses  of  this  kind  reported 
to  us.

A  farmer  who  had  decided  to  sell  his 
property  listed  it  with  a  real  estate 
dealer  who  wrote  a  very  good  description 
of  the  place.  When  the  agent  rend  it. 
over  to  the  farmer  for  his  approval,  the 
old  man  said,  "Read  that  again.”  After 
the  second  reading  the  farmer  sat  for 
several  moments  in  a  thoughtful  mood, 
finally  said.  “I  don’t  believe  I  want  to 
sell.  I’ve  been  looking  for  just  snob  a 
place  nil  my  life  aud  it  never  occurred  to 
me  that  I  had  it  until  you  described  it.  to 
me.  No,  I  don’t  want  to  sell  out.” 
The  above  clipping  from  a  local  paper 
contains  a  lesson  for  farmers  whether  the 
story  is  only  fiction  or  an  actual  occur¬ 
rence.  Many  do  not  appreciate  their  own 
farms  until  some  one  points  out  the  de¬ 
sirable  features.  Again,  real  estate  men 
have  a  way  of  describing  farm  or  other 
properly,  bringing  out  the  merits  and 
passing  over  the  undesirable  features  in 
a  way  to  give  the  reader  a  very  exagger¬ 
ated  'idea  of  the  farm,  while  every  state¬ 
ment  about  it  may  he  strictly  accurate. 
This  accounts  for  a  good  many  disap¬ 
pointments  when  the  purchaser  relies 
upon  the  printed  description.  On  the 
other  hand,  some  real  estate  ageuts  de¬ 
liberately  misrepresent  in  order  to  make 
a  sale.

They  seem  to  lie  anxious  to  sell.  They 
advertised  in  "Farm  and  Fireside.”

In  the  circular  letter,  accompanying, 
the  manager  offers  a  $12.50  churn  for  $5, 
which  he  claims  is  less  than  the  actual 
cost  of  manufacturing.  This,  if  true, 
doesn't  speak  very  well  for  the  Fayway 
churn.  The  I{.  N.-Y.  has  refused  the  ad¬ 
vertising  of  these  quick  process  churns 
for  25  years  hack,  on  the  grounds  that 
they  were  wrong  in  principle  and  no  but¬ 
ter  lhaker  could  afford  to  accept  them  as 
a  gift  and  use  them.  A  careful  test  of 
this  Fayway  clmrn  showed  that  in  com¬ 
parison  with  the  concussion  process 
churns,  the  Fayway  produced  an  inferior 
quality  of  butter  and  left  a  greater 
amount  of  luittcrfat  in  the  buttermilk. 
In  view  of  this  fact  it  is  not  so  surprising 
that  it  is  necessary  to  make  a  price  below 
the  cost  of  manufacturing1  to  induce  far¬ 
mers  to  take  them.

Mogul  8-16 — A  Real  Kerosene  Tractor 
Sells  for  $725  Cash  f.  o.  b.  Chicago 
WHEN  you  buy  a  tractor,  look  beyond  the 
price.  It  is  not  the  price  a  man  pa3rs  for  a 
tractor  which  is  of  the  most  importance,  but 
what  its  power  costs.  A  Mogul  8-16  burning 
kerosene,  in  5,000  hours  of  work,  will  save  more  than 
its  original  price  over  the  cost  of  the  same  power 
produced  by  a  gasoline  tractor.  Remember,  the  8-16 
is  a  real  kerosene  tractor,  planned  and  built  originally 
for  using  this  cheap,  plentiful  fuel.  Price  is  of  minor 
importance  compared  with  Mogul  8-16  saving. 
It  is  our  policy  to  sell  the  Mogul  8-16  at  the  lowest  possible 
price,  always  maintaining  Mogul  quality,  though  nowadays 
some  of  the  materials  are  almost  unobtainable  even  at  an 
advance  in  price  of  from  50  to  100  per  cent  over  the  prices  of  a 
few  months  ago.  $725  cash  f.  o.  b.  Chicago  is  the  lowest  price 
at  which  Mogul  8-16  can  be  sold. 
Orders  placed  at  once  will  stand  the  best  chance  of  being 
filled  without  delay.  See  the  Mogul  8-16  dealer  or  write  us 
for  the  story  of  kerosene  before  you  buy  any  tractor.
