Anamosa, Feb. 12-It is not general
ly known that one Of the largest school
and office supply concerns in the Unit
ed States is located at Anamosa, and
while it has been a growing concern
so far as business is concerned, it has
been in litigation for the past five
years.
The w. NJ. WEIGH Company was or
gained for business at Anamosa in
1903, with an authorized capital OF
100000 Mr.. w. NJ. WEIGH, of Chicago.
was the promoter and had control OF
100000 worth Of the common stock.
Preferred stock to the amount Of $54,-
900 was sold to the citizens of An
amosa. The business continued under
the management of Mr. WEIGH until
1905 when it was discovered that there
was loss of $4,000. Following this
examination and during the same year,
WEIGH as manager and discovered that
the total Indebtedness, instead Of be-
ing $4,000, was $4,000.
Ia JulS, AoVo, d OoSO VI lTuSI, 6ASSA
to refund a part of this indebtedness,
was issued'in the sum Of $4,000. These
bonds were taken up by Anamosa citi-
zens TO advance finances ia All eiiol |
to keep the plant in operation and out
Of the hands of a receiver.
When Mr.. WEIGH was deposed he i'm
mediately started up rival concern in
Chicago and during the past five years
has been strenuously endeavoring to
put the Iowa institution out of bust
ness. In order to realize this ambition
and to make 1t hard for the Iowa insti-
tuition to retain her Iowa business, he
brought suit against Mr.. G. L. Schoon-
over and Mr.. Park chamberlain, Of
the Anamosa National Bank, in the
sum Of 100000. The suit was decided
in favor of the defendants.
In his manipulation of affairs, Mr..
WEIGH also endeavored to change the
name Of the company. The recent
court decision authorized the trustee to
sell the plant and to retain the name
of the w. NJ. WEIGH Company. Follow
ing in the wake of this trial, the An
amosa parties have brought suit
against Mr. WEIGH for $4,000 damage
to their Iowa business based on the
charge that he circulated damaging
literature turnout Iowa against the
Iowa institution and had duplicated the
Iowa institutions stationery, catalogs
and price lists and had appropriated
its copyrighted forms and diploma
forms, all of which had been sold to the
Iowa concern when 1t was organized.
And further that he had attempted to
secure the patronage of the w. M.
WEIGH Company by adopting a similar
name, simply inserting the letters.

The plant will be reorganized and
no doubt enlarged. 1t is now in the
