FIRMS HERE BLAME GERMAN
LEANINGS FOR BLACKLISTING
Officials Say They Wouldn't Deal With
Britain Anyway

Two Philadelphia firms are in the list
OF those blacklisted from trade dealings
with English firms by Great Britain. and
both say they are so decidedly Teutonic in
sympathy that they wouldn't deal with
England anyway,
Carl Grubnau Of Wyncote. who is a wool
importer on Arch street said he has known
Of the discrimination against him for some
time in fact, he said, ever since his bank
notified him his credit no longer was good
The bank. he explained, is controlled by the
Allies. Mr., Grubnau thought his black
listing came because of his refusal to go
into the association formed by Great Britain
TO control the wool trade between her
possessions and this country. To have
Joined II, he said. he would have had to
give up his trade secrets TO England any
time they were asked for Mr.. Grubnau
didn't feel able 10 express an opinion as
TO whether his German lineage had any
thing 10 do with his being blacklsted,
though he was inclined to doubt II. having
been naturalized here 33 years ago.
The other concern, the Orenstein Arthur
Koppel Company. has offices in the Real
Estate Trust Building. II is Incorporated
In this State but its high executive offices
are in Germany and main Offices in this
and railway supplies. The Philadelphia
sales agent. Harry Robiczek, 55l2 Baltimore
avenue said the blacklisting was needless
for no profit could induce them TO sell any
thing TO England while the war lasts.
The English list also mentioned the Inter
national Import and Export Company, Of
Philadelphia.
This concern. however no longer exists
in this city. Its Philadelphia office was
but a small branch OF the New York
ofhce. Its purpose here was 10 ship
packages to Germany through Holland. Now
the New York ONCE does all the business
For a while the Philadelphia Office was in
