PUBLISHER’S DESK 
J. B., Roseland, N. J., writes Publish¬ 
er’s Desk on an important matter but 
does not sign full name, and the letter 
cannot for this reason be answered. We 
never publish the names of subscribers, 
but the full name and address must be 
given to receive attention. 
The latest bulletin of the Buffalo Bet¬ 
ter Business Commission, Buffalo, N. Y., 
contains information and advice on the 
following stock promotions: 
Debrah Silk Corporation. 
Mutual Benefit League. 
Champion Rotary Motors Company. 
Duplex Motion Pictures Industries, 
Inc. 
Any subscriber who is approached by 
the stock salesmen of any of these con¬ 
cerns will do well to write for a copy of 
the bulletin. It goes without saying that 
the bulletin does not recommend invest¬ 
ment in these enterprises. The commis¬ 
sion has a very apt slogan: “Before you 
invest investigate.” 
Can you give any advice on the Gra¬ 
ham Sanitarium, 123 Bast 89th St., New 
York? If they are reliable would be 
very glad to spend our hard-earned 
moiu., to get thinner as I am very fat. 
I am enclosing letter and booklet, also 
order form. By taking The R. N.-Y. 
we have learned that you cannot trust 
people, so thought I would ask you to see 
if what they say is true as I do not care 
to lose my good health by getting thinner. 
Connecticut. MRS. w. F. w. 
We are sorry to have to tell you that 
neither the Graham obesity cure, nor 
any other “obesity cure” of similar na¬ 
ture is worthy of a moment’s attention. 
The majority of the statements made in 
the advertising matter are so absurd as 
to be laughable, and so false as to make 
the term “lies” complimentary. Excess 
fat can be gotten rid of both by proper 
restriction of diet and physical exercise, 
both of which require patience, self-re¬ 
straint and time. There are no marvel¬ 
ous discoveries that enable a fat person 
to get thin without effort or inconven¬ 
ience, and any advertising literature 
making such claims should be Immediate¬ 
ly consigned to the stove, unless, indeed, 
one wishes to contribute to the coffers 
of the numerous obesity cure fakers who 
prey upon the natural desires of overly 
fat people to become thin, and the in¬ 
ability of the person untrained in medi¬ 
cal matters to distinguish between truth 
and falsehood in relation to them. 
Inclosed please find clipping of Fash¬ 
ion Embroideries, Lima, Ohio. On ac¬ 
count of the illness of my husband I wish 
home work to do, but I do not feel that 
I have $7.50 to invest unless I am sure 
of good results. Thre are so many fake 
advertisements one fears to answer them. 
Ohio. mrs. s. ,H. o. 
The morning mail brought seven in¬ 
quiries about this and similar “work-at- 
home” schemes. Fashion Embroideries 
asks this woman to send $7.50 for mater¬ 
ials to begin work. We have repeatedly 
stated that any concern asking the pros¬ 
pective worker for money in advance for 
material or on any other pretext is a 
fraud. The houses that really desire to 
secure home workers do not ask for 
money. There seem to be more of these 
work-at-home fakers advertising in coun¬ 
try papers for victims than ever before. 
Beware of all such schemes. 
On Dec. 18, 1920, I shipped to Cop- 
pie & Bro., Chester, Pa., 208 lbs. of tur¬ 
keys. I have received only $8.78 as yet 
from them. The amount now, with in¬ 
terest, is more than $150. Can you in¬ 
vestigate this for me and find out why 
they cannot be made to pay me for my 
turkeys? M. c. O. 
West Virginia. 
Our attorney reports that for the past 
seven or eight years he has had many 
accounts against Copple Brothers which 
he has been unable to collect. They 
have no property and their stock is per¬ 
ishable, so that even in case of a suit 
the judgment would not be collectible. 
It is a waste of time to attempt to make 
the collection. We are giving this report 
just as it comes from our attorney, so 
that any who are inclined to make ship¬ 
ments to Copple Brothers will have the 
record of our reader’s experience, and di¬ 
vert the shipment to other houses. 
I sold my apples to Brietman Bros., 
251 Washington St., New York City, last 
Fall, and they were to pay for them be¬ 
fore they left the orchard. But they got 
away with the fruit and they owe me 
$355, They said they would pay me in 
January, and I have not seen them yet. 
If you can collect it I wish you would 
look after them, and they ought to pay 
me the interest for five months. Tell me 
what it will cost to collect it. B. b. d. 
New York. 
The above firm is without any financial 
responsibility and occupies store space 
only with another firm. They have prom¬ 
ised The R. N.-Y. that settlement would 
be made to their shippers, and their prom¬ 
ises meant nothing. At last, when in¬ 
formed that our readers were to be given 
an insight into their business methods, 
they sent our subscriber a check in the 
amount of $225, which went to protest. 
With such business methods they are not 
worthy of the confidence of our readers, 
and we would certainly advise against 
any fruit shipments to them. 
I have been shipping eggs to New York 
for 12 years, and the last man I shipped 
to went out of business, so I had to look 
for another. I got the inclosed letter 
from the Premier Butter and Egg Com¬ 
pany, 169 Reade St., New York, asking 
for my eggs, so on April 6, 1924, I sent 
them two cases of white eggs from Can- 
eadea, N. Y., and I have heard nothing 
from them since. I wrote them April 21 
and I got no answer. Could you find out 
whether they received the eggs, and col¬ 
lect pay for same? j. H. s. 
New York. 
The purpose of this item is to bring to 
the attention of our readers the fact that 
the Premier Egg Company are conduct¬ 
ing their business at the identical same 
address as the old firm of Litvin & Schor, 
which operated under four separate 
names, as pointed out in one of our recent 
issues. This firm went under, due to the 
fact that Schor departed, and in so doing 
completely disrupted the organization. 
When the failure came, many of our 
readers were left waiting for their re¬ 
turns, which we have been unable to ob¬ 
tain for them. Letters are coming in 
to us now complaining of the negligence 
on the part of Premier company making 
their returns three and four weeks late, 
and the shippers have no assurance that 
the results will not be the same, eventu¬ 
ally, as in the case of Litvin & Schor. 
The business is confined to receiving eggs 
from out of town shippers on a consign¬ 
ment basis. 
Is the Puritan Guaranty Corporation, 
15 West Park St., Newark, N. J., a safe 
corporation to invest money in? I have 
been for some time and am still a sub¬ 
scriber to Tiie R. N.-Y. and would like to 
know, as an agent has been here to get 
me to invest in same. c. G. B. 
New Jersey. 
We advised against investment, and the 
following newspaper item shows that we 
were justified in telling our reader to 
leave the proposition alone: 
Louis Rommel, former president of the 
Puritan Guaranty Corporation of New¬ 
ark, was found guilty by a jury in the 
County Court, Newark, yesterday after¬ 
noon on a charge of issuing false finan¬ 
cial statements for the purpose of de¬ 
frauding stockholders. The jury delib¬ 
erated an hour and 30 minutes. Judge 
Dall*s Flannagan set June 2 for sen¬ 
tence. 
We wish to thank you for collecting 
our claim, $S8.51, from the American Ex¬ 
press Company, as we know that we could 
not have made them settle as soon as you 
could, nor at the price you succeeded in 
getting. We think that you should take 
a fee for these collections that you make 
for subscribers, the same as other col¬ 
lection agencies. But as we know your 
policy to do this gratis, we will inclose 
$3 for subscription. We thank you again 
for this service, and wish you a very pros¬ 
perous New Year. h. & k. 
New York. 
We appreciate this generous subscrip¬ 
tion, and more than that, the spirit that 
prompts it. We do not want to commer¬ 
cialize the service we are able to render 
our friends in getting adjustments for 
them, and we feel amply repaid when we 
are successful, as in this case. This was 
a just claim, and when the full facts 
were presented the express company made 
payment. The dispute arose over the 
price to be paid for berries that had been 
damaged in transit. The market price is 
always the basis for settlement, although 
in many cases a farmer is entitled to bet¬ 
ter than market price if he has superior 
products.

You Can Mix It Today 
and Use It Anytime 
That’s one of the big advantages 
—one of the great conveniences 
of Carbola, the Modern Disin¬ 
fecting Whitewash. Once mixed 
with water, it’s always ready to 
use. It will not deteriorate after 
mixing as ordinary whitewash 
lime does. 
Carbola comes in powder form 
and it contains a powerful dis¬ 
infectant. Mixing with water 
quickly turns it into a smooth¬ 
flowing white paint that can be 
quickly applied with spray pump 
or brush. It dries a clear, even 
white and it will not blister, 
flake or peel off. 
Try Carbola. Use it to paint 
and disinfect the interiors of 
your poultry houses, dairy barns, 
sheep sheds and hog pens. A 
pound makes enough paint to 
cover 100 square feet. Use the 
dry powder as a dusting powder 
on your poultry and other live 
stock. It will help to keep your 
animals free from lice and mites. 
It will help to prevent the start 
and spread of contagious dis¬ 
eases among your stock. 
Your hardware, feed, seed, poultry supply or drug dealer has Carbola 
or can get it. If not, order direct. Money back if you’re not satisfied.
