Where { store makes q ripple, OUT 4 stores make q "splash"

WHEN Porter buyers, armed with the purchasing w power of four big stores, operating as single unit go to market, any thinking appreciate the wonderful advantages they enjoy, and the un- usual interest and importance attached to the Por ter account by the representative manufacturers of America
 TNHIS immense four-store buying power and vol ume, with it's attendant quantity concessions and discounts is the why Porters can sell you reputable, nationally known goods as cheap or cheaper than the average store with limited buying power and distribution can sell merchandise of in- ferior quality and workmanship.
 TN many instancesths concerted buying for four stores enables us to close out entire numbers of certain lines thus gaining additional quantity dis counts which are passed along to our customers. So then-its as plain as day that store can hope to underbuy hnderse Porters in the face of these '4-to-1' odds-not quality merchandise. Of course, you'll find lower prices aplenty. But you'll find them goods of uncertain origin and quality the kind that Porter do not care have in the store at any price

FRAUD CHARGED IN
CONNECTION WITH
D. & R. G. LINE
tBy The Associated rress.)

st. Louis, Mo. Jan. 2S.--Alli- !
davits alleging fraudulent transac-
lions by interlocking directorates
led to the receivership sale Of the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad,
were filed late today with Federal
Judges Walter p. Sanborn and
Robert E. Lewis, sitting here as!
the district court Of Colorado.
The affivadits were filed by,
John Lee Webster of Omaha, coun-
sci for intervening stockholders,
who are attempting to have the
federal court deny confirmation OF
the sale.
Mr.. Webster asserted that the
physical property of the road was
valued at $225,OOO.O0O although it
was sold for 100000 and that
securities held by the road We're
worth $9.722,000 alone.
The affidavits declared that ad-
yertisements of the sale were
couched in covert language 80
that prospective bidders would not
understand the value of the prop
erty." This, Mr.. Webster contln-
ued. was to discourage others than
the "interlocking directories"
from bidding at the sale.
The alleged methods employed
by the ''interlocking directories
are what the complainants declare
I fraudulent" it was explained.
The court granted purchasers OF
! the road, who were representatives
of the Western Pacific. thirty days
in which to file an answer to the
affidavits and q similar period to
both sides in which to file briefs
showing the value and indebted
ness of the road
Mr.. Webster announced that
after the briefs had been filed he
would institute proceedings in the
district court at Denver to have set
aside the judgment granted the
Equitable Trust company of New
York which resulted in the sale,
and for an accounting of the
amount of money the Equitable
Trust company has received from
the sale.
