Joseph Rubin & Sons, manufacturers OF
paper boxes, at s5 Meserole avenue,

$50 and found Joseph Rubin, his son
Bernard and his daughter Hannah max !.
ing up the pay roll for to-day. They had
$1,000 on a desk, from which they were
filling the envelopes.
The four men closed the door noise

few feet of the Rubin family before they
were noticed. When Joseph Rubin
looked UP and asked them what they
wanted one OF them replied:
Everything you've got"
Joseph and Bernard Rubin jumped to
their feet, and the girl quickly swept the
money into a drawer OF the desk. But
before she could lock it and before the
Rubins could do anything three OF the
men drew revolvers and covered them.
Then the Rubins were backed against
the wall and forced to put their hands
above their heads, while the fourth man
reached into the drawer of the desk and
stuffed the $1,000 into his pockets. After
that they backed out OF the door and
went down the stairs. threatening to kill
any OF the Rublns who followed them
Nevertheless Bernard Rubin followed
and saw them get into an automobile
half a block from the paper box factory.
He chased the machine on foot for two
blocks, shouting AT the top of his lungs,
but the bandits went ahead and soon
disappeared. Bernard. however. obtained
the number OF the automobile and told
