On April 18, 1022. I shipped B. Kal- 
mansori, commission house, one ease fan¬ 
cy white eggs. I have had same traced 
by railroad company and find that it ar¬ 
rived in safety. I have written once and 
received no answer nor check for eggs. 
Could not their license he taken from 
them? Could they not lie reported to the 
government? If so, what address? 
New York, c. n. T, 
B. Kalinanson was not acting as a 
commission merchant, and therefore had 
no license. We have had considerable 
complaint against him, and in many cases 
the post office and express company 
showed delivery of goods which he insists 
had not reached him, and delivery in good 
order when he claimed breakage existed. 
He refused to make settlement, and similar 
reports and claims for breakage came in 
such large numbers that investigation was 
made by the Post Office Department, and 
as a result he was sentenced to it year 
and a day in Atlanta Penitentiary for 
fraudulent claims for breakage of eggs in 
the mail. lie is said (o have collected 
$3,281 in 18 months from the Post Office 
Department, and $5,028 from other car¬ 
riers. 
An enforced rest may cure B. Kalman- 
son, but the record is not warranted to 
recommend dealings with him.

The daily papers state that stockhold¬ 
ers of the Parenti Motors Corporation 
will not receive one penny for the cash 
that they put into the concern. The 
money realized will not pay even the 
debts of the concern. The property was 
sold to the Hanover Motor Cars Com¬ 
pany of Hanover, Pa., for approximately 
$225. and the amount due creditors was 
in the neighborhood of $480,000. Cred¬ 
itors may get 50 cents on the dollar, but 
stockholders will not get one cent. In 
addition to the $2,000,000 actual cash, 
they will lose about $1,000,000 for stock

The above letter refers to the adver¬ 
tisement of a Chicago concern claiming 
rid poultry of lice by putting some dope 
iu the drinking water. The advertisement 
is appearing in reading matter style iu 
some of the poultry and farm papers. As 
the subscriber remarks, none of this spuri¬ 
ous advertising ever appears in The 
I t. N.-Y. We doubt, however, that the 
Postoffice Department could properly 
undertake a censorship of advertising. 
Uniform depth of plant¬ 
ing is insured by the Van Brunt 
closed-delivery type of single-disc 
furrow opener. Metal seed tubes 
and disc boots conduct seed to the 
bottom of furrows of uniform depth 
and there cover it. 
Accurate control of both 
grain and fertilizer — the pat¬ 
ented Van Brunt adjustable gate 
force-feed handles any size seed, 
from alfalfa to beans, without 
crushing or damaging the seed, 
and without choking up in the 
grain box. An even, continuous 
stream of seed is forced out of the 
grain box at all times, snd when 
you regulate one feed opening, you 
adjust them all equally. Finger- 
type plates insure positive han¬ 
dling of fertilizer. 
Guaranteed disc bear¬ 
ings. The hardest-working parts 
of any drill are the disc bearings. 
On the Van Brunt drills, these 
bearings are guaranteed to last 
lifetime of drill.

The Owenwood Oil Corporation is a 
reorganization of the Invader 031 & Re¬ 
fining Company, and has an authorized 
capital of $15,000,000 shares of $1 par 
value, whereas the Invader Oil & Refin¬ 
ing Company had a capitalization of 
75,000.000 shares of one cent par value. 
The stock of the old company was ex 
changeable for that of the new in the 
ratio of 10 Invader for one Owenwood. 
This is a recent oil promotion. The 
values of the property have not been es¬ 
tablished, and there is no record of any 
earning power. There is no basis that 
would justify an investment. The indi¬ 
cations are entirely unfavorable.

knowledgment was sent the purchaser, 
and no reply made to inquiries as to when 
he could expect the pig. If advertisers 
could realize the benefit they would dp- 
rive from a prompt advice that an order 
had been received or of the reason for 
any necessary delay, they would take 
pains to write their customers. An ex¬

future orders.

This was really a simple service. The 
cause of the trouble was entirely due to 
the death of the correspondent and the 
inexperience and probably confusion of 
the family in a time of bereavement. 
There is. of course, no charge for the 
service. The remittance is credited to
