strated through the effort of the Asso-
ciated Advertising Clubs of America
whose benefits Vermont enjoys through
| Bank Commissioner Frank Williams. The
value comes from Mr.. Williams refusal
to allow the Alliance Tire and Rubber
company of New York to do business in
| Vermont, following his investigation of
the company His opinion of the com
pany was justified, it appears, for Mr..
Williams has received from the club
above mentioned the report of the indict
ment by the federal grand jury in the
United States district court for New
York, returned against the rubber com
pany. Mr.. Williams denied the company
a license to sell stock in Vermont, and
the commissioner has no information
which leads him to think that any such
stock has been sold I'm Vermont. Mr.
Williams also received information rela-
tive to the Emporium Cloak and Suit
company of Des MONIES, Iowa, and the
Moneyworth Wholesale Grocers of Chi
cago, who are unable to obtain license
in this state under the "blue-sky" law,
each of them having been prosecuted for
fraudulent advertising.
