To the Public:


 Referring to the above. we beg to say that when the contract was made with Loveman Joseph & Loeb for a sub-depos- itory MT. M. V. Joseph stated that the matter of bond was unimportant and could be made any time within sixty days. MT. Joseph Loveman, who inserted the ''ten day clause in the contract, stated that there was no need of rush as to the bond and promised to furnish R. F. Manly x Co.,, bond agents, with copy of the contract as a basis for the bond. We therefore thought of no trouble on this point and probably would have had none but for the fact as stated by Mir. Leo Loeb that they were offended a. the wording of our advertisement in the newspapers about ten days ago. Other sub-depositories were furnished the books without the bond. but we do not deny the right of any one to refuse credit to any one else if he so choose and so Dewhcr~v x Sons offered the cash in payment for the books. The cash was refused with the statement that it was not question of credit The depository has trusted that the delcacy of this point would prevent us from ventilating the subject and their greed. We can pay cash for our goods and do not need their credit but were willing to make Fidelity bond if thss desired. DEWBERRY & SONS
