PUBLISHER’S DESK 
A subscriber, Laurel Hill, L. I., writes 
us, making inquiry regarding the safety 
of a proposed investment, and eigns his 
letter with initials “A. E.” We cannot 
answer the letter and we will not pub¬ 
lish inquiries and answers when the sub¬ 
scriber refuses or neglects to sign his 
name. We never print the name without 
the reader's consent. 
If “A. E.” will forward his name he 
will receive the information desired. 
Nathan D. Hecht of Standard Food 
and Fur Association fame, pleaded guilty 
before Judge Luce in U. S. District Court 
to fraudulent use of the mails. He was 
sentenced by Judge Luce to serve six 
months in Essex Co., N. J. jail, and 
pay a fine of $1,000. James and ThomlR 
Vavaro, with Vincent Lumia, stood trial, 
which trial required about two weeks of 
time. They were acquitted by the jury 
on the strength of the testimony that 
Hecht deceived them in the sale of the 
business some two years ago. Our rec¬ 
ords show that the Vavaro brothers con¬ 
tinued the same fraudulent practices of 
Hecht. It takes a stretch of the imag¬ 
ination to believe the Vavaros were not 
equally guilty with Hecht, but presenting 
convincing evidence of this to the jury 
was another matter. 
I thank you for your information and 
claims that you put through postal in¬ 
spectors against New Jersey Produce Co. 
at 74 Commerce St., Newark, N. J. Now 
I have another ease for you to look up as 
soon as possible, with Globe Butter and 
Egg Co.. 1S5 Duane St., New York City. 
I sent to them 80 broilers, weight 117 
lbs., net. and no returns since May 8, 
1924, and no answers to my letters. To¬ 
day I learned that B. Ivalmanson is the 
owner, and that you exposed him in your 
paper some time ago, So I am asking you 
again to do your best to collect that 
money for me the best way you know 
how. P. k. 
New Jersey. 
Our representative, through an investi¬ 
gation, has definitely proven that B. Kal- 
rianson is also the owner of the Globe 
Butter and Egg Company of 185 Duane 
St., this city. Our readers are complain¬ 
ing about the failure of the company to 
make their returns. Kalmanson is using 
a bank reference to which he has no 
right, since he has been requested to re¬ 
move it from his literature by the bank 
officials. Since Kalmanson has served his 
term in jail for defrauding his shippers, 
we absolutely do not hesitate in warning 
our readers to keep their eggs and poultry 
shipments out of his clutches, unless they 
s.re willing to finance him in his unsavory 
deals. 
I just found the inclosed among some 
“buried” mail. Never dabbled in oil 
stock, though deluged with sucker bait. 
Thought this might give you a line on 
another blackleg. Shouldn’t such palpa- 
1 le rascality come under direct action of 
the Post Office Department? More power 
to you in this branch of the great work 
you are doing. Circular received yester¬ 
day soliciting business refers to R. N.-Y. 
as proof of standing. w. M’w. w.

The Nicol Real Estate Company, 1466 
Monroe Street, Washington. D. C. con¬ 
sists of Mr. and Mrs. Nicol. lately of 
Manassas, Va. They have been send¬ 
ing out letters asking for an advance fee 
of $40 as evidence of good faith in 
the prospects of a secret invention. 
Very few replies were received from their 
efforts. The company at present deals m 
real estate by correspondence, represent¬ 
ing a suburban promotion in Los An¬ 
gles, Cal., known as Palos Verdes. Much 
literature of a swindling nature goes 
through the mails because officials have 
no power to act until definite fraudu¬ 
lent acts can be proved. 
I am sending you an account' of the 
Farador, made in Canada. One of my 
friends is thinking of buying one of these 
instruments. I would like your opinion 
on it. I think it is a fake. J. H. M. 
Ohio. 
This Farador treatment reminds us 
very much of the old Oxydonor, Oxy- 
pathor or Oxygenator that was so w T idely 
exploited by Dr. H. Sanche & Company 
of New York. The claim was that the 
appliance supplied oxygen to the body. 
'We do not know what all the claims are 
for the Farador, but we do not see any 
great benefit for our readers. 
I have been reading “Publisher’s 
Desk” with interest, and have been able 
to learn many helpful things from it since 
I have been a subscriber. I was born 
and lived on a farm for the first 19 years 
of my life, and since going into the min¬ 
istry I have served several rural par¬ 
ishes. I prefer them to the city. Some 
time ago a relative sent the Nile Art 
Company, Fort Wayne, Ind., $7.75 for a 
“work at home” proposition, the litera¬ 
ture of which I inclose. As soon as I 
learned of her step I said to myself: “I 
wish I could have asked the Publisher’s 
Desk about it before she sent her money, 
for I fear it is another fraud.” As you 
will see, they returned her work as not 
good enough to sell. Can you do any¬ 
thing about it for her? About a yeiir 
ago she strained her chest and has been 
a semi-invalid sincf then, threatened with 
tuberculosis. Seeing her bank account 
growing smaller and unable to do heavy 
work, nhe tried to do something light that 
would not injure her returning health, 
and at the same time bring in a few dol¬ 
lars. She lost instead. kev. c. a. s.

The wicked thing about work-at-home 
schemes of this kind is that they take the 
small savings of women who are afflicted 
in one way or another, and unable to 
earn a living in the ordinary ways. Only 
those well schooled in the ways of fakers 
are likely to see through these schemes 
until the money is gone. We consider the 
ordinary highwayman a desirable citizen 
when compared with the class of easy- 
money pirates conducting schemes of this 
kind. 
I wish to report my experience, as it 
might save others from the same fate 
which I have met with Fred K. M. Dun¬ 
ham & Co., 323-325 W. Lake Street. Chi¬ 
cago, Ill. About the holiday season I 
saw their advertisement, reading, a dress 
for sale for so much and in case the cus¬ 
tomer was not satisfied the money would 
be returned immediately upon return - of 
the goods. I sent for the dress and it 
did not fit, but I paid the postman $4.05. 
Then I returned the dress to the company 
and asked for my money back accord¬ 
ing to their guarantee but I heard noth¬ 
ing from them. I wrote three letters in 
like manner and still no answer from 
them. Then the postmaster registered a 
letter of mine to them with a return 
card, as we thought may be the letters 
had gone astray. The return card came 
back but no reply from the company; 
they ignored that letter just as they 
had the other letters. What can be done 
with them? Would you try to collect for 
me? I am a poor widow and am not 
able to lose that money if I can help it 
as I greatly need it at the present time.

The advertising of this mail order 
house carries money-back guarantee in 
which they state that the purchase must 
please the customer in every way, or they 
request that you return it and they will 
cheerfully refund every cent of the pur¬ 
chase price. This is just where the 
“joker” lies directly on top of the pile. 
They have made no attempt to refund 
five of our subscribers who have open 
claims with iis,. neither have they recog¬ 
nized one unwritten law of good business 
houses to acknowledge their business cor¬ 
respondence. Since no satisfaction can 
be obtained from them we are therefore 
reporting this case for the protection of 
all of our readers so they will have full 
knowledge before sending them orders. 
Would you give me some information 
regarding the Federal Asphalt Company, 
39 Cortlandt St., New York City? I 
would like to know what this concern is. 
On Jan. 25. 1924, I sent them 600 shares 
Standard Petroleum Trust Class A and 
B stock, to be exchanged for Federal 
Asphalt Company stock, and up to this 
time no transfer has been made. I have 
sent them $2, which was the transfer fee 
which they asked for. Now they want 
me to buy their gold notes before they 
will issue me the stock. Would you look 
after this? F. B. j. 
New Hampshire. 
Upon investigation we find that the 
Federal Asphalt Company occupies the 
same office, Room 407, as the National 
Manufacturing and Distributing Com¬ 
pany. It is also quite impossible to find 
them in. No acknowledgment is forth¬ 
coming from the company in answer to 
our letters in behalf of our subscriber. 
We could not advise F. B. J. or others 
to risk money in the notes in the hope of 
recovering on the original investment. 
A Scottish farmer, being elected to 
the school board, visited the village school 
and tested the intelligence of the class by 
the question: “Now, boys, can any of 
you tell me what naething is?” After a 
moment’s silence a small boy in a back 
seat rose. “It’s what ye gi’ed me the 
other day for holding yer horse.”—Every¬ 
body’s Magazine. 
Because 
Health 
Comes 
First 
“Grain them in summer? I should say I do. Not quite so 
much when there’s pasture, of course, but they get LARRO 
every day in the year—if it’s only a pound or two.” 
That’s how they talk nowadays because they know health 
comes first—sleek, silky-coated, bright-eyed health—cows in 
tip-top, splendid condition. 
Such cows are ready when it comes time to freshen and they 
have good, sturdy calves. They don’t go off feed. They 
don’t have udder trouble, lax appetites and indigestion. You 
don’t pay big bills for medical treatment. 
If your’e feeding LARRO you’re feeding for health and 
profit. If you’re feeding LARRO every day in the year—in 
spring, summer, fall and winter—you’re feeding for the big, 
long profit. 
All the care used in making LARRO—the safeguards against 
nails, wire and trash—the strict exclusion of all fillers and 
off-grade ingredients—the careful standardizing to get abso¬ 
lute uniformity in every particular—the exact proportioning 
of each ingredient—all these things have a two-fold object: 
health for your cows and the biggest possible profit for you. 
There’s a LARRO dealer near you. If you don’t know where 
to find him, we’ll be glad to have you write us.
