ographer to B. r. Frantz, president Of
the Knox Tire e. Rubber Co.
t1etzeli's Statement
According to statement made to
The Banner today by A. s. Hetzell. he
is placed in the anomalous position Of
the innocent bystander. He was until
last December Philadelphia district
manager for the Republic Tire & Rub
ber Co. He was induced to resign
this position and accept that of tire
sales manager with the Knox Tire &
Rubber Co. He was to receive as
compensation $1,000 per month. The
period of the contract is three years,
with provision for annual renewal. Mr..
Hetzell explains that his salary was
based upon an estimated tire output
of 300 per day.
Mr.. Hetzell came to Mt. Vernon on
January 1. He found the company
not ready to begin production, and he
consented to assume duties other than
those of tire salesman. AS an induce
ment he was granted $3.50 shares Of
the common stock in escrow.
According to Hetzell he has been
aware that there has been leak
some where by which the business and
affairs of the company have become
pubic property and the subject Of
gossip and comment. He makes the
statement also that the recent stock
selling campaign put on in Mt. Yer
non and Knox county by the company
was almost a total failure, very little
coming into the company Golfers.
Mr.. Hetzell claims that he knows
nothing of the matters involved In
the proceedings, that they were mat
ters authorized by the directorate be-
fore he became a member of the
board, and some OF them before he
was even an employe of the company.
He will take such steps as may, be
necessary to defend his personal in
terests and to protect his contract
with the company,
