T1IE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
i3 
PUBLISHER’S DESK. 
If your description of the grape is as lrue 
as tlie one given of the Ruby Queen Rose, 
tlie vine alone is worth more than the price 
of the paper. The Ruby Queen is one of the 
bcs't roses we have, and is a beautiful sight 
when in full bloom. j. r. w. 
New York. 
I have much pleasure in enclosing P. O. 
order for $1.30 for renewal of subscription 
and three 10-cent subscriptions. I think we 
are much indebted to you for the offer of 
so valuable a grapevine. In most cases I 
should discount tlie statements respecting it, 
hut having the fullest confidence in your 
integrity accept them at their face value. 
Connecticut. w. a. 
We print the above letters for the bene¬ 
fit of recent new subscribers. Our old 
friends know from experience that the 
things distributed by The R. N.-Y. have 
exceeded any claim made for them. The 
“Rural New Yorker No. 2” potato, the 
“Carman No. 3,” and “Sir Walter Ra¬ 
leigh” were all first distributed in this 
way. Tlie Ruby Queen rose and the 
new Crimson Rambler Philadelphia are 
of more recent distribution. The new 
grape which we shall distribute this year 
is,, we confidently believe, of greater 
value than any of the others. The cost 
of distribution will greatly exceed any of 
them, but there promises to be abundant 
compensation for this in the interest taken 
by those who have so far renewed in 
sending in both trial and yearly orders 
for their neighbors. 
I was very pleasantly surprised to receive 
by mall, on December 17, the book of Abra¬ 
ham Lincoln's Letters and Speeches as a 
present from you. I thank'you heartily, and 
assure you that I shall enjoy reading it very 
much. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and 
prosperous New Year. c. T. 
Massachusetts. 
This friend sent us $1 for a subscrip¬ 
tion for his neighbor. We have a list of 
splendid books and other rewards, any 
one of which we shall be glad to mail 
you for a similar service. Here are 
some of the titles: “David Harum,” 
“Blennerhasset,” “Quincy Adams Saw¬ 
yer,” Letters and Addresses of Abraham 
Lincoln,” "Letters from a Self-Made Mer¬ 
chant to 11 is Son.” “Sherlock Holmes,” 
also a nice list of books for boys and 
girls, a gentleman’s wallet, a ladies’ pock- 
etbook, an excellent jack knife. 
The Bible received and it Is Impossible for 
me to tell you how pleased I was with it. It 
was so much nicer than I expected It to be. 
I will try to raise the subscribers for the 
breakfast set as soon as I can. I live in a 
small town, and this will be my third order, 
and I am only a little girt eight years old, 
and I do all the work myself but the letter¬ 
writing. I cannot write a business letter yet. 
Mamma has to write them for me. My papa 
has taken The R. N.-Y. eight years and it is 
a part of the family. l. e. b. 
New Jersey. 
The little eight-year-old girl sent two 
new yearly subscriptions at $1 each, and 
got a handsome Bible. She earned two 
other rewards; and is now after the set 
of dishes. We have more of the Bibles 
and any number of sets of dishes. Don’t 
you want one of them? 
A subscriber asks us about the Co¬ 
operative Homemakers, which has a land 
scheme some place in Texas. We have 
not as yet been able to get satisfactory 
information about them, but the experi¬ 
ence of a woman who invested in the 
New Jersey land scheme exposed some 
weeks ago may be worth while repeating. 
This woman invested the savings of a 
lifetime in a lot. When she went to look 
for it she found it was 20 miles from the 
town, away in the pine woods. She had 
bought it as a suburb. Another woman 
paid $400 for a lot and could not sell it 
for the fees she paid for registering the 
deed. Land schemes are bad things to 
tackle at long distance. 
How about the Chicago New York Air Line 
Railroad? Are they responsible or is it a 
bait with a hook to it? l. W. S. 
New Hampshire. 
A brokerage house in Boston is trying 
to interest farmers in this scheme; but 
they seem not anxious to advertise their 
road. They have not answered our in¬ 
quiry about i.ts location. If anyone 
wants an interest in a railroad on paper, 
we will send the name and address of the 
promoters. 
Have you any complaints against Chas. IT. 
Manley. St. Joseph. Mich? My brother. E. 
I. Schauber, sent him $16.60 in March for a 
portable henhouse and two chicken coops. He 
acknowledged order, but never shipped the 
goods and has refused to answer letters since. 
New York. G. k. s. 
We have no better success with Mr. 
Manley. We asked him for an explana¬ 
tion, but he does not reply, lie has had 
this customer’s money now eight months, 
and shows no disposition to return it or 
send the goods. Keep his name and ad¬ 
dress, and when you have money that you 
cannot use you might want to repeat 
Mr. Schauber’s experience. 
On October 27, 1906, we printed in this 
department a complaint by Mr. F. N. 
Weimer, Homedale, Va., in regard to a 
pair of pigs he bought of M. L. Bower- 
sox, Bradford, O. We had exhausted 
every effort to adjust the matter before 
printing the complaint. Since then Mr. 
Bowersox wrote that he would like to 
have the pigs back. A satisfactory price 
was named, and the matter is now closed. 
After receiving the pigs Mr. Bowersox 
writes: 
I will frankly say that I am perfectly 
satisfied. The hogs are a tine pair. I did 
not expect to find them in such fine shape. 
They are beauties, and if 1 were to buy any 
new stock anywhere near as good of any 
breeder, no matter where located, they would 
cost me at least $45 per head. 
As the pair cost him only $40 he ought 
to be satisfied. Pie says they are not for 
sale, as he bought them back for breed¬ 
ing purposes. Air. Bowersox seemed to 
be offended because of our publication of 
the complaint, and since the matter has 
been adjusted to the satisfaction of all 
concerned, we wish to give him full credit 
for his part in it. The case seemed to 
grow out of a difference of opinion as to 
the value and quality of the pigs. Mr. 
Weimer made three propositions for ad¬ 
justment before anything was printed 
about them. They were rejected. We 
thought them fair, hut the present settle¬ 
ment is on the basis of one of those 
propositions. We regret that the breeder 
did not act more promptly in this case, 
but we have never had any other com¬ 
plaint about this breeder, and we assume 
that his business generally is satisfactory 
to his customers. 
Subscription renewals are catching up 
as we near the end of December. JTbe 
day after Christmas was the biggest day 
we ever had for that cftite. If you got 
the expiration notices for December sit 
right down now and send along the re¬ 
newal. j. j. d.
