THE RURAfc NEW-YORKER 
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 1. 1907, and due July 30, 1907. 
$25.25, dated July 1, 1907, and due July 16, 1907. 
The notes were issued to Allen B. Wells, 
Saratoga Springs, N. Y., for produce shipped and 
sold on commission. 
I sent G. G. Shoemaker of York. Pa., 
$1.50 for a setting of eggs the 11th of May. 
He answered promptly, and said the eggs 
would be shipped soon, but the eggs never 
came. I wrote him several times and got no 
answer. We finally wrote him to return the 
money, as it was too late for the eggs. In¬ 
stead of doing so he wrote .Tune 21 that he 
had sent the eggs; but yet the eggs did not 
come. We hope you may be able to get a 
return of the remittance. r. J. w. 
Illinois. 
We wrote Mr. Shoemaker and he' re¬ 
plied July 14, that he had sent one set¬ 
ting a month before, and that he had al¬ 
ready sent another setting 10 days be¬ 
fore writing; but they never reached the 
buyer. If this were the first complaint 
we had about Mr. Shoemaker we might 
think it possible that two shipments by 
express to the same party had gone 
astray, but in light of other experience 
we think nothing of the kind. Our ad¬ 
vice is to keep his name and address 
where you can refer to it readily, and 
when you are in need of eggs or any¬ 
thing else in his line, to order them 
from some one else. 
The recent failure of Samuel Blick, a 
butter and egg merchant of 346 Green¬ 
wich street, New York City, will serve 
to show one feature of modern business 
methods. Blick was doing a successful 
business, and was reported to be making 
money. In other words, he established 
a credit. He bought heavily on credit, 
to the amount of $25,000 or $30,000, it 
is said. The goods, not sold for cash, 
were stored with a refrigerator com¬ 
pany, and money borrowed against the 
goods bought on credit and stored with 
the loaning company. He then incorpo¬ 
rated a company, turned over the 
assets of his business, or what was left 
of it, to the new company, and the next 
day Blick did not appear at his place of 
business. His creditors called a meet¬ 
ing, and would like to have a statement 
“of his assets; but Mr. Blick did not 
appear at the meeting. He can now go 
through the bankruptcy courts and be¬ 
gin all over again. The day before he 
failed, if a poor man had taken an egg 
from his warehouse to feed a sick child, 
the poor man would have been arrested 
and probably thrown into jail, and yet 
this is only a repetition of what is go¬ 
ing on continually. The bigger the steal 
the easier and safer the theft. 
Allow me to express my gratitude to you 
for exposing the Alaska wheat swindle, as 
several of my neighbors and friends in¬ 
tended sending for some, after reading the 
article in the Saturday Evening Post, but 
when I told them of your exposure they 
changed their minds, and thereby saved 
money enough to pay for The It. N.-Y. sev¬ 
eral years. N. w. I* 
Ohio. 
We are' glad to know that The R. 
N.-Y. saved some money for our sub¬ 
scribers and their friends. Incidents 
are recurring every day to emphasize 
the necessity to farmers of a paper es¬ 
pecially equipped to look after their in¬ 
terests, and with the courage and pur¬ 
pose to do so. No paper is more ably 
or honestly edited and managed than the 
Saturday Evening Post in its own field; 
but while it is a good paper in a literary 
sense, it is not a farm paper, and it is 
not equipped to give reliable informa¬ 
tion on things pertaining to farm sub¬ 
jects. It has now corrected the mis¬ 
take as far as it can do so; but if The 
R. N.-Y. had not promptly shown up 
the Alaska wheat fake that paper prob¬ 
ably never would have discovered that 
it gave publicity to one of the biggest 
fakes of the year. In this one instance 
The R. N.-Y. has probably saved the 
farmers of the country as much money 
as the entire subscription receipts to the 
paper for a year. 
If you think a service' of this kind 
benefits farming in general and you in 
particular we simply ask that you help 
increase the number of readers in your 
neighborhood. It is such work on the 
part of old subscribers that make such 
a paper possible. We will send you 
some of the little envelopes, if you want 
them. Do you? j. j. d.

FEARLESS 
MANURE 
SPREADER 
The narrowest 
1 spreader, yet spreads 
widest. The circu¬ 
lar beater makes the great difference. 
Straight beaters spread only to their actual 
width, and so are built wide — much too wide 
for wagon tracks, and gates. But the FEAR¬ 
LESS circular beater spreads to tha sides as well 
as behind. You can see by the illustration at 
the bottom of this ad how the FEARLESS Is 
narrow enough for wagon tracks and gates, 
yet can spread wider than any-other spreader. 
Fewer trips to a field with a FEARLESS— no 
driving over manure already spread—even 
distribution—simple mechanism and other 
points described In Free Booklet. Write
