to the above, which, only containing one
grain of truth is, therefore, the wors; kind
of Misrepresentation, and as such liable to
place us in a false light unless contra
dicted. In the first place we never claimed
to have bought one cents worth of paper
FROM the Wichita Paper Co. We did
claim and still claim in the
sworn itemized statement below
to have purchased "a considerable
quantity OF the stock of Wichita Paper
company for CASH as stated in the circular
quoted by A. IL. Warren. We shall take
some pains to give the whole facts in the
case in order that the public to whom Mr.
Warren has given his side of the case
may Judge between u.s. and see first that
what we said-now emphasize-was not
merely trick or advertising dodge but
literally and absolutely true: and second,
that y. B. Warren was fully aware of all
the facts and has wilfully misrepresented
them with view of advertising his con-
Germ and injuring u.s. Now for the facts.
Several months ago the Wichita
paper company purchased a considerable
quantity of paper from H. f. Mead & Co.,
of Dayton, o., on the usual time When
the bill matured the paper company were
not able to meet it, and to settle the matter
and secure themselves against loss H.
r. Mead & Co purchased the stock back
again and stored it at the warehouse of
the paper company. Some two weeks ago
Mr.. +. Grubn, representing II. +. Mead &
Co, called on us and after giving us the
facts IN the case made an offer on the
entire stock purchased from the paper
company, from which we selected an as
sortment of ruled headings ruled stock,
fiat paper and envelopes, aggregating $780,
reams of paper and % thousand envelopes
paying him for same by our checks on
Fourth National bank of this city as fol-
lows. 1863. 40, Sl33.6S, $5S6 as goods were
delivered making total of SOL % FOR
STOCK FORMERLY BELONGING TO THE
WICHITA PAPER COMPANY. In regard to
the few miserable items referred to which
we purchased as an accommodation to our
customers. We are surprised to see they
amount 10 so much as after the failure of
the Paper Company-whichw we regret very
much, and have so expressed ourselves to
Mr.. Warren and others of his concern.
We were invited by Mr. Warren to ex-
anime the stock on hand with a view of
purchasing same, but found we could not
do so 10 any advantage Notwithstanding
he claimed to be offering
everything at cost, as we can
purchase new clean goods from the mills
for less money.
We append affidavit of T. H. Robinson
of our firm in regard to above and have
the receipts for quantity and amount re-
ferred TO on file if further information be
required.
