Grundy Men Bought Stock in Mason

Grundy Men Bought Stock in Mason
City Concern Now Defunct.
Grundy Center, April 9.-The Mason
City Manufacturing and Supply Com
pany which had begun arrangements to
go into business in Grundy Center, has
gone to the bad. The company went in
to the hands Of a receiver last Saturday
and will not fulfill the obligations as
sumed in this county.
The company came here last fall and
sold stock to many town and near by
country people. The company proposed
to do business on cooperative basis.
All stockholders in the company were
to buy their goods at 20 per cent below
the retail price. The company was to
clrry a complete line Of automobile sup
plies and accessories, washing ma
chimes, etc. Their proposition looked
good Some lis local people. most of
them farmers, bought stock in the COM
pany at SO a share. About $1,000 was
paid in cash for this stock. The under
standing was that the company was to
leave the money in a local bank until
they were started in business here and
had their stock of goods on hand. The
company drew the money out Of the
bank and sent small installment~ of
supplies here. which are still here.
The new company made contract
with John kaufman to lease a large
building provided new building were
put up. Mr.. kaufman accepted the
proposition and put IN new building
for them on which they took a lease.
The lease of course is no good and Mr..
kuhlman has secured another tenant
for the building. John d. Arends was
employed by the company as the local
agent. Mr.. Arends assisted the COM
pany in selling stock up to about two
months ago. At that time Mr.. Arends
became suspicious that the company
was not as sound as it should be and re-
signed the place OF manager. lie car
ried checks for stock 3or several weeks
until he was sure the company was not
going to meet its obligations when he
returned the checks to the people who
gave them to him in payment for stock

DEALERS NOTIFIED
TO INCREASE VALUES 10 PER
CENT.
GAINED GOODS AMONG
ARTICLES AFFECTED
Bean Prices Climbing, Wholesale Fig.
ures Going to is Cents Per Pound -
Flour Jumps Almost 81 Per Sack and
May Go to $4-canneries Hesitate to
Make Contracts With Farmers.

Fort Dodge, April 9.--The decara-
ton of war with Germany Friday was
responsible for 10 per cent increase in
prices of foodstuffs over the already
war. Ire boost was made by tho
wholesale dealers. Local dealers were
notified by kilograms of the increase.
In putting the increase at 10 per cent.
the lowest possible estimate is made.
In no cases are the prices permanent
and further rise is feared. Flour,
canned goods, beans and even eggs
have already been affected.
Beans went up twice Friday. Navy
beans now cost sixteen cents pound
wholesale. Less than two years ago
navy beans sold for five pounds for a
quarter. Lima beans have also felt
the increase.
Since the Cuban trouble sugar has
vanced from $40 sack to $3.50 Il
sack. The prospects are that it will
NOT be any lower.
Flour has also felt the furry with an
advance of nearly 81 sack. 1t takes
SO to buy a sack of good -four. Local
dealers fear that this price is not sta
'tionary and that flour will go up an
other dollar.
Potatoes are quoted at the same
prices, SO buShel and $3.50 for the
sweet potato. The season of the year
will keep potatoes from advancing any
more.
OF all products. canned goods are
the most uncertain. Wholesale jobbers
who buy the raw products from the
farmers at about this time of year are
unable to make any contracts Farmers
are loath to sell their crops before
they know something Of the future
developments. Canned goods Of this
season have not been changed in price
That is not since Friday. OF course all
canned goods felt the rise in prices pre-
vious to the declaration Of war with
Germany.
what you should fight for is gov
eminent regulation of prices said a
Fort Dodge grocer I've cannot buy
our goods from day to day. We must
be prepared from month to month.
Conditions now arc very hard on the
small retail dealer. If this trouble
should blow over there would be n
great crash Of retail dealers"
