PUBLISHER’S DESK 
We have the following notes signed by the pro¬ 
duce commission firm, Stevens & Simpson & Co., 
262 Washington Street, New York, for collection : 
$47.81, dated April 25, 1907, and due in 90 days. 
$25.25 dated July I. 1907, and due July JO, 1907. 
$25.25, dated July 1, 1907, and due July 10, 1907. 
The notes were issued to Allen 11. Wells, 
Saratoga Springs, N. V., for produce shipped and 
sold on commission. Repeated demands have been 
made for payment, which has been refused. We will 
accept the face of these notes with interest at any 
time on behalf of Mr. Wells, and this notice will be 
repeated in this position weekly until payment is 
made, and so long as Stevens & feimpson & Co. 
continue to solicit consignments of farmers. 
Mrs. J. Thompson, Adams Centre, 
X. Y., sent $6.50 on June 2, 1905. to J. A. 
Bennett & Sons Co., Governeur, N. Y., 
for an incubator. That is now nearly 
three years ago. She has not received 
the incubator yet. 
Will you tell me about the reliability of 
the Globe Advertising and Distributing Co.? 
Would you advise the purchase of a mem¬ 
bership? I enclose their circular. 
Virginia. w. c. a. 
No; we know no service given by 
such agencies that would justify the 
payment of $2 for membership. The 
allurements they hold out for big profits 
in the distribution seldom if ever mate¬ 
rialize. 
Can you give me any information about 
the standing of the Sarsfield Silver Mine 
Co. of Montezuma, Colorado, as it offers 
to sell shares at 10 cents per share? I en¬ 
close application for your inspection. Is it 
any good? Please give me your opinion 
of the matter. j. h. c.

We wish all our people would refuse 
to be tempted by big promises of profit 
in cheap mining stock, or, in fact, min¬ 
ing stock of any kind. There is abso¬ 
lutely nothing for the small investor 
in any of them. Leave them all alone. 
The Government suit against E. G. 
Lewis, St. Louis, Mo., for alleged use 
of the United States mails for fraud¬ 
ulent purposes in the sale of stock and 
securing deposits for the bank he or¬ 
ganized some time ago at St. Louis, re¬ 
sulted in an acquittal for Lewis. The 
Government issued fraud orders against 
the bank, and it was obliged to close up 
and go out of business. It is said that 
a large amount of the investments in 
the bank were transferred to Mr. Lewis’ 
publishing interests. 
I would like to see your opinion of the 
Shore Acres and Inland Development Com¬ 
pany of New York. So far 1 have no money 
invested in the scheme, only time. If they 
are humbugs please publish the facts, as it 
may help some one else. n. m. r. 
Pennsylvania. 
We gave our opinion of this some 
weeks ago. It has all the Ostrander 
earmarks, and is evidently promoted by 
him or some of his apt pupils. They are 
simply trying to sell you a lot for more 
than it is worth by a scheme to make 
you believe it is worth more. If course 
it is a fake. 
I heartily congratulate you on the re¬ 
sults of your fight against wrong and in 
behalf of right. Surely others ought to be 
encouraged. I cannot help feeling what 
must be your exultation as compared with 
the state of mind of Brother Tucker of The 
Country Gentleman—not in the downfall of 
P. PI. Dawley, for God knows he needs 
human pity-—but in being sustained in your 
contention by apparently the most thor¬ 
ough and searching investigations of Com¬ 
missioner Fred B. Keeney in behalf of the 
A. .T. C. C., and who in an honest determina¬ 
tion to do Ms duty has shown himself pos¬ 
sessed of greater courage than even Gov. 
Hughes dared to s''ow. It is better than 
a thousand court victories. 
Texas. dan m’uae. 
We give the above just to show bow 
they feel on the subject down in Texas. 
The man who faces a disagreeable duty 
and pursues it to the end is sure to find 
approval in the hearts of the people of 
this country. Our own opinion is that 
it was not want of courage that kept 
Governor Hughes from investigating 
the case at the time we presented it 
to him, but bad advice and misinforma¬ 
tion from those whom he relied upon 
for agricultural information. 
Are you willing to tell a subscriber what 
you think of the Vacuum Ice Company, 
whose advertisement I enclose? Tub R. 
N.-Y r . must have many subscribers among 
those who take this church paper. In the 
issue of May 1 was an article which was 
almost an editorial endorsement of the 
company. B. i. M. 
New l r ork. 
We are willing to tell our subscribers 
anything we know, and which we be¬ 
lieve to be to be of interest and value 
to them. That is what we are here for. 
This company was oreanized Aoril 15, 
1908, until an authorized canital stock 
of $100,000, of which $60,000 has been 
issued. The president of the company 
is Daniel E. Hallock, who was formerly 
the president of the Maryland Vacuum 
Ice Company, of Baltimore, Md. This 
company failed. Mr. Hallock was made 
receiver. The assets were purchased by 
Mr. Hallock by authority of the United 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
States court for $18,500, and it is said 
be turned same over to the Vacuum Ice 
Company, but it is not known how 
much stock was issued in exchange for 
it. The company is at present a close 
corporation, and little is known of its 
inside affairs. It is, however, offering 
$80,000 first mortgage 10-year bonds for 
sale at $94, and bearing interest at six 
per cent. If anyone wants to make an 
investment in the bonds, we have no ob¬ 
jection, but we could not recommend 
investment of securities issued on this 
basis. 
Last week a representative of Kassoff 
& Son, the commission house of 30 Jay 
Street, New York, called with a letter 
which he had received from a farmer 
who refused to ship him any goods be¬ 
cause of their treatment of another ship¬ 
per whose experience was referred to 
on page 94, February 1 issue. This 
young man said lie was unable to get 
shipments from farmers since the publi¬ 
cation of that story, and he thought 
the matter would be all right if we 
would accept his order and run his ad¬ 
vertisement soliciting shipments. We 
could not see our way clear to run the 
advertisement, and he left promising to 
go into the country and solicit ship¬ 
ments personally. We, of course, have 
no objection to his doing so. We sim¬ 
ply suggest to our people to look up 
page 94 before promising the consign¬ 
ment. 
I enclose subscription till January, 1909. 
Can you give me standing of die’ Ameri¬ 
can Real Estate Co.? They advertise six 
per cent bonds, pay on tbe installment plan, 
and at the end of 10 or 20 years’ time or 
date of maturity, will pay you the sum 
given in bond which would net six per cent. 
Is it safe? a. e. p. 
Montana. 
This class of bonds has been referred 
to before. They are not bonds to se¬ 
cure the payment of mortgages on real 
estate, as many suppose. The property 
is in this case and in most cases mort¬ 
gaged and bonded independently of 
these certificates. These are the so- 
called debenture bonds. They are really 
nothing more or less than promissory 
notes or other evidence of indebtedness 
payable at a given time. In effect the 
purchase of these bonds is equivalent to 
loaning the company money on their 
notes or promise to pay. The company 
has considerable property in and around 
New York, but our information is that 
it is held subject to mortgages, and it 
has nearly $7,000,000 of these debenture 
bonds outstanding in addition to mort¬ 
gages of about $1,335,000. The assets 
are estimated at about nine and a half 
million. Of course with such a per¬ 
centage of indebtedness the safety of 
the loan depends on the efficiency and 
honesty of the management, and some¬ 
thing no doubt on general financ’al con¬ 
ditions, but we are not encouraging in¬ 
vestment in this class of securities for 
our people. 
I want to congratulate you on tbe vic¬ 
tory in tbe Dawley case. Enclosed find 
check for my subscription; it has not ex¬ 
pired yet. I started with a ten-weeks’ sub¬ 
scription, and like it better than any farm 
paper I get. Please send me some more 
envelopes. I have given away several and 
sent several trial subscriptions to my 
friends. a. l. b.

_ The above is printed to again empha¬ 
size the value of those 10-weeks sub¬ 
scriptions. Such letters are coming to 
us every day. Every time you send a 
10-weeks order for a progressive, intel¬ 
ligent" farmer you secure a permanent 
subscriber to the paper. We are always 
glad to send all the little envelopes 
needed. We have them all ready for that 
purpose, and a bundle goes to some one 
every mail. Ask for as many as you 
can distribute. j. j. d.
