PUBLISHER’S DESK 
I would like j'our opinion of the prop¬ 
osition of the Interior Oil & Gas Corpora¬ 
tion, Prudential Building, Buffalo, N. Y.. 
as per the enclosed letter received some 
time ago. I preferred Liberty bonds for 
investment, but thought .some of your 
readers might be interesto<l in your opin¬ 
ion of this investment. ’ j. r. n. 
Pennsylvania. 
This investment proposition has .some 
novel features that would appear very 
alluring at first sight. The .stock is of¬ 
fered at .$100 per share. The letter states 
that the company paid 11 per cent divi¬ 
dend last year and offers to buy the pros¬ 
pective purchaser’s dividend for three 
years in advance at the rate of 10 per 
cent per year, payment of these divi¬ 
dends to be made in advance in Liberty 
bonds. This offer might seem very at¬ 
tractive to inexperienced investors. When 
this proposition is analyzed it merely 
means that the purchaser pays ,$T0 per 
shiire for the stock of the Interior Gil & 
Gas Corporation, the real value of which 
is (luestionable. Oil stock that is paying 
11 per cent dividends and can show sub¬ 
stantial assets and prospect that any such 
dividend rate can be maintained, the stock 
does not go begging for buyers in this 
way. If the stock has any value at all, 
it is a purely speculative one, as there 
is apparently no established market for it. 
Napoleon Hill, promoter of the George 
Washington Institute, a so-called resident 
and correspondence school of advertising 
of Chicago, was released under .$2,000 
bond for alleged violation of the lUinois 
Blue Sky law. Under date of May 6, the 
National Vigilance Committee i.ssued a 
special bulletin exposing Hill’s methods, 
and the arrest was made on information 
supplied by the committee. 
False representations of the facilities 
of the school, together with unwarranted 
claims by Hill as to his past connections 
and ability, were used to sell stock to 
students and to the investing public. Kx- 
travagant and bombastic claims and hopes 
filled the advertising matter circulated. 
No license for the sale of stock had been 
(issued under the Illinois Blue Sky law.— 
Better Business News. 
The Illinois Blue Sky law is proving 
effective. Since enacted a number of get- 
rich-quick promoters have found it desir- 
,nble to move to other States from which 
to carry on their operations. If New 
York had such a law and it were enforced, 
what a scampering there would be in the 
lower end of New York City to find office 
space across the river, in New Jersey! 
Every good citizen should bring all the 
influence possible to bear upon his repre¬ 
sentative in the Legi.slatui’e to put such a 
law on our statute books. 
I sent check for ,$6 1o tin* Metrojiolitan 
Egg Case Co., 5f) E. llSth St.. New 
York, for egg cases to be shipped to me. 
They wrote back that the price had ad¬ 
vanced and wanted more. I bought else¬ 
where since, and they will not return the 
.$0, although I have written them three 
times. s. I,. J*. 
New York. 
We b.ave rei)eatedly warned poultrymen 
against these New York City second-hand 
egg-case dealers. We know of none of 
these dealers that has any established re¬ 
sponsibility or that fills orders of custom¬ 
ers with any degree of sati.sfaction. 
We have received check for ,$72 from 
Adams Express Co. in payment of our 
claim for last shipment of eggs. Knowing 
you do not accept remuneration for your 
services in ad.iusting such claims, we can 
only show our appreciation of .same by 
continuing to “boost” The B. N.-Y.. and 
endeavoring to increase its circulation, 
which we take pleasure in doing, n. H. 
New .Jersey. 
Six cases of eggs were lost in transit 
in May, 1917. Fourteen months later 
shipper receives a check, no interest add¬ 
ed. no apology. A shipper’s money is 
u.sed to promote the busine.ss of the Ad¬ 
ams Express Co., but he receives no ben¬ 
efit from the use of his money. It is 
easy to understand why shippers use par¬ 
cel post and avoid this particular com¬ 
pany. 
Four men and three corporations were 
found guilty by the jury before .Judge 
Martin T. Manton in the Federal f’ourt 
on .June 29, on charge of fraudulent use 
of the mails in connection with the sah‘ 
of $1,500,000 stock of the Emerson Motor 
Car Co. Those convicted were Nicholas 
Field Wilson, stockbroker. Los Angeles, 
(^al.; AVm. Loomis, Bobert I’. Matchh'ss 
and Osborn E. Chaney, all brokers : C. B. 
Berry & Co., Bobert I’. Matchless Co., 
and the Emerson Motors Co. were also 
found guilty. W. G. Emerson and B. C. 
Hupp, who are defendants in the case, 
are to be tried later. We trust the 
sentence impo.sed will be adequate to fit 
the crime and deter other promoters of 
similar enterprises from .swindling inno- 
<'ent, gullible people out of their savings. 
The unfortunate feature of sending these 
men to the penitentiary is that it doesn’t 
return a single penny to their victims. A 
Federal Blue Sky law would go a long 
way to prevent such get-rich-quick 
.scheme.s. 
M'hile in New York a short time ago I 
spoke to you about my experience with 
B. Bubin of Monticello, N. Y. He still 
owes me .$81..‘57 as per enclosed statement. 
I am also enclosing statement from the 
Adams Expre.ss Co., stating that all the 
eggs were received as per statement. 
New York. E. c. L. 
We have been endeavoring for several 
weeks past to get settlement for the above 
subscriber. Mr. B. Bubin, and his .son, 
Wm. Bubin, of .‘>00 E. 56th St., New 
York City, who attends to the corresimnd- 
ence for him, disi)ute the claim and allege 
that all of the eggs for which E. C. L. 
makes claim were not delivered. Mr. 
Bubin seems to deal in eggs in Monticello, 
N. Y., during the Summer season, and at 
other re.sorts during the AVinter. AA'e 
have had frequent complaints from ship¬ 
pers to this party. In some cases after 
long exertion, we have been able to get 
settlement. In the present instance the 
prospects are not favorable and our re¬ 
commendation to poTiltrymen would be 
that they secure cash in advance from Mr. 
Bubin before making further shipments 
of eggs. 
AAJll you see if you can collect a bill 
for .$6.2.3 against Eddie Ixdiman, 277 
Avenue New York f’ity. this being a 
balance due on potatoes shipped him last 
Fall? g.L. 
Long Island. 
AA'e have made every effort to collect 
the above claim on the part of our sub¬ 
scriber. E. Lohman ignores the claim 
entirely, and offers no excuse or reason 
for his failure to settle the balance. Per¬ 
haps he considers the amount is so small 
that the subscriber cannot afford to bring 
suit to collect it, which is true, even 
though a judgment against Mr. Lohman 
were collectable. It will be well for 
other farmers to remember the experience 
when Mr. Lohman is looking for further 
shipments of produce. 
AA'ill you look up A. Klipstein, 287 
Greenwich Street, New York? He wms 
through this section yesterday, and- of¬ 
fered us high quotations f. o. b. AJneland. 
Several of us would like to ship eggs to 
him, but we do not know his rating. It 
is a common remark here among the 
poultrymen, if anything goes wrong: 
“Well, write The B. N.-A*. ; they will fix 
it up for you.” So you can see how yoii 
are appreciated here. w. E. J. 
New .Jersey. 
A. Klipstein represents himself as a 
“wholesale dealer in eggs and butter.” 
This means that he is not subject to the 
commission merchants’ law re<iuiring that 
a bond be filed for the protection of pro¬ 
ducers. A. Klipstein is not rated by the 
commercial agencies. Either of these 
facts we regard as sufficient to withhold 
recommendation. 
Enclosed you will find a letter which 
we recently received from Pauli & AA'ein- 
baum, 375 Church St., New York. As 
you will note in the enclosed letter, they 
have solicited eggs from us .several times, 
but we have never sent any to them, as 
they are not listed in our pamphlet of 
bonded and licensed commission mer¬ 
chants. Their offer is quite alluring, yet 
we feel we might regret it if we did ship 
to them, and as I often read in The 
B. N.-Y. how kind you are to help farm¬ 
ers out, thought I would ask if you could 
give us any information concerning the 
firm. E. A. II. 
New A’ork. 
This firm has no established financial 
rating that would warrant us in recom¬ 
mending shipment. Besides, the firm rep¬ 
resent themselves as “wholesalers.” which 
means produce is not solicited on con¬ 
signment, and, therefore, they are not 
subject to the commission merchants’ 
law and recpiired to furnish a bond for 
the i)rotection of shippers. Our general 
advice to farmers is not to ship produce 
to these dealers. The more alluring the 
promises the more caution should be ex¬ 
ercised.
