The Diamond Match Company Denies "a
Report THAT Trust VIII Be Formed.
IL has been currently reported that the
price of matches i'm this part Of the
country would be greatly increased be-
cause the Diamond Match Company of
this city has secured possession of nearly
an the independent match factories in
the Middle States. This statement is
denied by the officials in this city and
Philadelphia. although it was asserted hy
several merchants that matches which
some time ago cost S3. - gross of boxes,
containing 5Oo each, now cost 1920.
The Diamond Company Hecently bought
out Ephr0im r. Smith of Philadelphia
for Sl25 600 a factory at Pine Grove for
( 300 600 fnctory az York. pa lof
$500 600. another at Oswego for 500 900.
and another at Curwensville Possession
OF these properties was taken few weeks
ago
1t was stated chat i'm the competition
going on before the public was simply
cheated by the number of matches i'm a
box, and that in reality the price ON
cheaper grades has gone up a little, but
the number of matches to the box has
gone up TO the honest mark too.
Manager Bendon, of the company's
/ factories at Walnut and Fourteenth
streets, this city, was seen this morning
/ by an EyRNING JOURNAL reporter.
/ When asked about the reported increase
| In the price of the important household
and pocket accessory, he replied: THAT
is a rumor that is based upon supposi-
ton The prices Of matches win remain
the same as heretofore.
