THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
May 1. 
PUBLISHER’S DESK 
Some inquiries this last week: 
American Iteal Estate Company, 527 Fifth 
avenue, New York. Would their bonds be 
a safe investment ? 
We have already advised against this 
form of investment, and given our rea¬ 
sons. They are not bonds to secure 
payment of real estate mortgages. They 
are merely the promise of the company 
to pay the amount of the bond. They 
are more like a .mere note of the com¬ 
pany. 
Imperial Coal and Coke Company, 17 Bat¬ 
tery iv]ace. New York. 
Leave this alone. 
Harrison Mfg. Co., Cincinnati, O., wash¬ 
ing machine. 
There has been considerable com¬ 
plaint about the machine and trouble 
to get money returned, the company 
often insisting on cartage and repair 
charges. 
Sure Hold Co., Westbrook, Me., trusses. 
No established financial rating. Bet¬ 
ter consult your local physician. 
American College of Dressmakers. IXfe 
scholarship in dressmaking. Terms, $15. 
Our advice is to keep your $15. 
The American Woman’s League, St. Louis, 
Mo. 
This is simply a fake scheme got 
up by E. G. Lewis to induce poor and 
confiding women to induce their friends 
to become subscribers to his cheap pa¬ 
pers'. 
The McCreer.v Mfg. Co., Toledo, Ohio, 
machinery for starting glove factories. 
We cannot find that the plan has 
ever been- a success with farmers. 
Universal Remedy Co., Philadelphia, Pa. 
Avoid universal remedies and nos¬ 
trums generally. If sick, consult a lo¬ 
cal physician. 
The Telegraphic Mail Co., 220 Broadway, 
New York City. Stock sales in $1,000,000 
company. 
Do not touch such stocks. They are 
not desirable investments for farmers, 
and no experienced investor would 
take them. 
Oregon Valley Land Co.. Lake View, 
Oregon, with headquarters at Kansas City 
Mo. A scheme to sell 10 acres of land at 
$20 per acre, with a chance to draw for 
prize. 
Our advice is to leave all these land 
schemes severely alone. Tf you want 
to buy land in any section, go there 
and inspect it. Expensive? Yes; but 
it will be cheap in the end. You won’t 
buy. 
Messersmith Stores, Chicago, Ill. Are its 
stocks safe investments with special dis¬ 
count to members? 
Do not go into such things. All the 
conditions are against you and in favor 
of the sellers of the stocks. 
W. S. Waldo Nursery Co., Rochester, N. Y. 
We have had several inquiries. Mr. 
Waldo belongs in Pennsylvania, but 
has been in the habit, it is said, of go¬ 
ing to Rochester to buy stock from 
growers to fill his orders. It is also said 
that he cultivates about one-half acre 
and has some stock grown on contract. 
Parties consulted say he is responsible. 
He has no established rating, and let¬ 
ter addressed to him at Rochester was 
returned. It is said, however, that he 
has now an address there. He does 
not respond to requests for financial 
statement and location of business. In¬ 
quirers state that his agents claim that 
he owns large nurseries at Rochester. 
This claim could not be verified. 
Notice is hereby given that ‘‘The 
Country Gentleman” and its agents 
have no authority to solicit or collect 
subscriptions' for The Rural New 
Yorker. For two years we have re¬ 
quested them in private not to do so. 
We now make the demand public. “The 
Country Gentleman” has been deliberate¬ 
ly trying to confuse and annoy our sub¬ 
scribers by false representations that they 
have authority to accept subscription 
orders for The R. N.-Y. in order to 
work their own paper in at a cut price 
and in some cases practically free, and 
then try to find some third party to fill 
the order for them. In one case they 
actually had the effrontery to instruct 
us to discontinue The R. N.-Y. to a 
subscriber who was paid a year in ad¬ 
vance, when the plain meaning of the 
farmer’s order was to discontinue “The 
Country Gentleman.” In other cases 
the remittance does not reach us for 
months and then only after volumes' of 
correspondence. A New Jersey sub¬ 
scription of December last has not 
reached us yet, and they are now try¬ 
ing to convince the subscriber that it 
was sent us promptly when received, 
which is not true, and which they 
knew was not true when they said so. 
To avoid this deliberate confusion, we 
now forbid them to accept orders for 
The R. N.-Y., and request our sub¬ 
scribers to send orders direct or 
through some authorized agent. 
I am reading with great interest of your 
“tussle” with Hie Temple Pump Co., of 
Chicago, Ill. M.v husband and two neigh¬ 
bors bought a "Master Workman” several 
years ago, and had the same experience as 
Mr. Leonard, without any guarantee. They 
bought from an agent, and after lie found 
out it wouldn’t work, he left and never 
came back. It is a long story to tell of 
all the correspondence and money expended 
in trying to make the engine work, and it 
now lies a heap of junk iron In one of the 
owners’ sheds. One thousand dollars would 
not: repay my husband for damage to crops, 
men silting around and mechanics employed 
to try to get tin* engine to go. Newburgh 
is a large manufacturing town, and we had 
every one we heard tell of. from, a common 
tinker to an expert machinist, and no one 
could make it go. It ruined tIre sale of 
gasoline engines entirely in this vicinity. 
We paid $225 for the engine, $.'10 for re¬ 
pairs and freight both ways when it was 
sent back for repairs. I will gladly send 
you all particulars if we can get the money 
back. mbs. G. w. M. 
New Y'ork. 
As the above engine was sold by an 
agent without a guarantee, there are 
no grounds on which one could hope 
to sustain a- demand for a •return of 
the purchase money. It is* a principle 
of common law, however, that a pur¬ 
chaser has a right to expect that a ma¬ 
chine will do, under proper manage¬ 
ment. the work for which it is de¬ 
signed and sold; and, if the agent be 
responsible, we think a local suit 
against him would result -in a verdict 
for damages. But Mr. Leonard’s case 
was different. He had a definite, writ¬ 
ten guarantee that the engine would 
do the work, which was also definitely 
specified, and in the event of failure 
the purchase money was to be refund¬ 
ed, also freight one way. The engine 
did not do the wo-rk. The company 
failed to give instructions by which 
it could be worked. It was returned, 
but they refuse to refund the money 
as promised. They also refuse to send 
a man to demonstrate that the engine 
will do the wo-rk, with the understand¬ 
ing that bis expenses' would be paid, if 
lie succeeds. The R. N.-Y. has no 
prejudices in the matter. Some of 
these engines are possibly doing 
satisfactory work, but we want farm¬ 
ers to understand the conditions that 
confront them under the guarantee of 
the Temple Company. 
I have just finished reading “Nell Bev¬ 
erly. Farmer,” the book you sent me when 
I renewed my last subscription, and I must 
say if is the best book I ever read. Have 
you any more like that ? Let me know, and 
I will buy them, even if I have to subscribe 
ten years ahead for your paper. It is a 
book tlmt will appeal to anybody, and I 
would like to know if you have any more 
like it ? o. i. 1’. 
Oregon. 
No: we have no more books like 
‘‘Neil Beverly, Farmer.” We wish we 
luid. We would like to get another 
just as good. We will try later, but 
this' is all now. We print the above 
just as a suggestion to those who have 
not yet got it. Everyone writes the 
same way ab.o-ut this book. If you 
have not read it yet, send your renewal 
at once and the book will go to you 
by return mail and postpaid. J. J. D.
