cause it was thought Brown would
abide by his implied pledge Of last

find the Evening Bunc" stands ready
to injure any firm or organization that

Mr.. Gumbert then related some
things which throw interesting side
lights on advertising and soliciting
ala the aBunc".
He said the story published was sot-
ten from Peters and published as he
told it without any attempt at further
investigation. That the employe OF
the "Bunc" who got the story from
Peters is a close friend of Peters and
the tailor made clothes for him free
recently. He also said the "Bunc"
took out all the advertising they had
in trade and did not get cash for it;
that this was their custom.
Peters, he claimed. was really the
only cause of the present trouble. as
every tailor in the city, with the ex-
ception of him, was willing to pay the
price asked by the tailors' union.
