tiers OF inquiry. On the 18th instant the
Postoffice Department wrote the Great
Eastern Company letter calling on
them to show cause why fraud order
should not be issued against them. but
the New YORK postmaster returned the
letter TO the department. saying it could
not be delivered because the offices of
the company could not be located On
this showing a fraud order was issued
against the company today.
The reply of Purtelle, Price & Co, OF
"a Commerce Building, Chicago. TO the
invitation of the postoffice to show
cause why a fraud order should not be
issued against them, was letter stat
ing that the company had discontinued
business some months ago. This concern
advertised to invest money in the grain
and stock market for out-of-town
clients, claiming that IT had special
wires TO New York Boston and Phila-
delphia. and also had advantage Of in
side information. The inspector who
made the investigation reported that the
business was conducted by Eugene Pur-
teIle, and that Price & Co. were ficti-
tious. and that the concern had no
special or other kind of wires.
