u the Company. but II will be . very
simple mind that will or can accept
such an explanation.
The facts arc all against such q
conclusion. The Company was sell
inG stock at the rate OF over $780,
10000 per month. 1t was advertis-
ing that the price might be raised
soon and agents stated that the
price would be doubled or $4,000
per share July 5th, 1918.
At the time this transaction was
made 1t would appear that block
Of the Pan stock at the par value
would be a desirable holding and
that such was the motive for the deal
or the only reasonable conclusion to
be made on the facts.
This transaction viewed In the
light OF the fact that President Pam
dolfo received the sum OF $l629.OO
per day for each and every day dur
ing the months OF June, July, Aug
ust and September 1918 and the fur
ther fact that the intangible. good
Will and In fact expense account in
creased at the rate OF $52s6.OO per
day during the months of June. July.
August. September. October and
November 1918 while the invested
assets increased at the rate OF but
$4,000 per day during the same
period 1t Is plainly apparent that the
Pan Motor Co. was organized as a
scheme to enrich the promoter Mr..
Pandolfo.
Mr.. Pandolfo makes much fus.
about $3500.0O post Office inspectors
passing judgment on and prosecuting
big things like the Pan Motor Com
pany and big ideas and big men as
are connected with the Pan Motor
Co. In view OF his $162s.OO per day
1t would appear that the Government
mas no man. not even the President.
to prosecute Mr.. Pandolfo
and his Pan Motor.

Now isn't that rich. simple and
original? To protect the Conpany!
Why not have sold all the stock with
greater protection 70 the Company
This transaetion did aos appear In
the statement Of Juas let. 1918 nor
IN the statsmsat Of Juat 18th, 1913
which appeared In one OF the Mime
apolis papsrs Of that data. Il must
have been an after thought and writ
ton back on the books - Of May Il,

In view Of the fact that the gross
stocks sales for the months Of May,
Juno. Juiy. August and ssptsmbsr.
1913. averaged over eAeo. 10000 per
month. We are unable to 80 any pos
sible contingency which might arise

In May or June or even July. 1918.
What character OF resolutions were
adopted by the Board OF Director
when they authorized this sale?
Frankly We had In mind that the
Company and Mr.. Pandolfo would
attempt to Justify this transaction by
claim that MIR. Pandolfo was entitled
