A. A. vANTINE & co. ANXIOUS TO HEAR FROM
MELZER MERRICK.
A. A. Vantine & CO., importers OF Oriental goods,
at No s17 Broadway want to know where Meier
Merrick. recently travelling salesman for the
firm Is spending his time and money. Merrlck =
home was in Passaic. y. j. He Is about twenty
seven years o.d, and had been with the firm ten
years. when he disappeared in Omaha. Neb. with
out reporting the firm, taking with him. an
omaha dispatch said. Of the firms money he
had collected. and woman OF that city
Mr. Crow OF the Wholesale department Of the
firm said yesterday:
I'VE had perfect confidence In Merrick. He used
to take the firms money to bank for number OF
years. We surprised when he did not report
TO us from Omaha about october 10. He had sew
eral trunks containing valuable samples. We sent
a man take Merrck's place and he found
all the trunks and goods with the exception OF about
so worth We have no reason to believe that he
collected any money due the firm In Omaha.
"He was not exactly sporty man. He was a
man who might easily be led however and II he
has wilfully gone astray II Is possible that the
woman mentioned, OF whom we know nothing, In
fuenced him. Merrick was generous man. lie
was in poor health some time ago. and may be that
fact has bearing on his disappearance
