aud myself entered into n verbal
agreement, that I should not take
out license, but that should let
him Vulcanize what few jobs
might have to do, for compensa-
ton afterwards to be agreed upon.
The matter stood thus until the
latter part of September, 1 think,
when had an application for a
small job of Rubber work. L went
immediately to DIR. Gross's office, to
talk the matter over, at which time
l saw his license, and we both con-
cluded that he could not do Vulcan~
izing for me or any other Dentist,
without forfeiting his license, so l
did not insist upon his fulfilling his
engagement, but told him that
would send for license, which / did
and Immediately after I got per-
mission to go on with my work, I
Informed him of the fact--and he
ever asked to see my documents.
Previous to the interview spoken
Of in his Office. / had heard that
DR.. Gross had reported that I had no
license to do Rubber work, and so
was not going to do any more. And
a few sdays later / received the fol.
lowing from headquarters (my head.
quarters.)
Western Branch Office. OF the Goodyear Dental
Nulcanite Co., of Boston.

DEAR SIR:-Complaint having
been made at this office, that you are
still using Rubber after agreeing not
to use 1t, must ask you to remit the
amount of your license to Dec. 3lst,
or | must proceed against you for
T. VIM. ASHLEY, Agent
From the above facts may be seen
that reports Of contradictory ma
ture were in circulation, both of
which were evidently intended to
injure my business. one asking
that the Rubber Co., might serve an
injunction upon me to prevent me
from doing what the public here
were told that I was not doing,
Consistency thou art jewell
My authority for using Rubber
comes from the General Western
Agent" of the company, VIM. Ash
ley. / quote western Branch
Office of the Goodyear Dental vul-
canite company of Boston. Grand
Rapids, Mich, Oct. 9th 1860. DIR.
III. M. Adams, Dear Sir. Your favor
is at hand. did not understand you
to settle to August. Such being the
case, and your statement being true
you can remit the SIS, and go on
with your work, until January" &c.
And on the 10Th or 10th, received
the following from from the same
source. Received of DIR. III. M.
Adams, of Cedar Falls, Iowa, the
sum of SIS on account of license fee
for the use of Rubber, for the year
ending Dec. Slst, 1869. VIM. Ash
ley Agent" -.... ..-...
/ will close by stating that I never
put up single job of Rubber work,
from the time of my signing the
agreement not to do so, without per-
mission, from the Rubber company,
till after 1 had made application for
a license, and 1 defy the proof to the
contrary. That DIR. Gross, had such
a letter from the Treasurer of the
Rubber company, as he alleges, do
not doubt. All there is to that IL,
he was not posted in the doings of
the General Western Agent" If
DIR. Gross had waited, till the end of
the year, or applied to the right
place for his testimony, he no doubt
would have been correctly informed.
Ifmy competitor thinks to intimi-
date me by threatening Preserved
testimony" he will find himself as
much m mistaken i'm his man, as he
is in his testimony.
