FURTHER PROOFS OF QUARANTINE RoGUERf
Another illustration of the rascality of the
| company which ala the WOIR OI lue Qi'i ah'in0 Va
cials is revealed the fact that in keeping their
books charges against single firm entered under
different names, making it appear as II there were
two firms instead Of For example, in the list OF
defrauded merchants published in Thursdays TRIBUNE,
! Sheppard Candy & Co. were shown to have been
charged 1888 G5 Of which so52 SO was fraudulent and
8 Candy & Co. were charged S2ls6, Of which S145J 33
was fraudulent II is evident that there was only one
firm involved, namely, that OF Sheppard Candy Co.,
and that the entire charge against them was J9 Co. OF
