SPENCER COMES :
BACK At FRANTz
IN STATEMENT
Accuses Four Men Of Being
Responsible For Excess
Charge
In The Selling Of Stock OF
The Knox Tire and Rub
Der Company

Mr.. f. ID. Spencer, Secretary and
treasurer of the Knox Tire & Rubber
Co., when interviewed Friday morn
ing by The Banner concerning the
statements made by Mr. B. L. F'rantz,
president of the company, that or
ganization expense was charged with
items that should have been put un.
der factory charge, made the follow
ing statement:
That the present distribution of ac-
counts had been checked by the de-
partment of securities and that the
Knox Tire G. Rubber Co. was working
under the securities compission's in
structions.
That the particular instance of the
stenographer working for Mr.. Frantz
was not given correctly, as her salary
charge has been distributed correctly
insomuch as it is charged to the fac
tory end of the business when she
was doing that work. Her salary was
never charged to stock selling, except
when she was working on this end OF
the business.
That the expense Of selling the com
panys stock issue has been extremely
heavy, and as the records show, has
exceeded the 15 per cent maximum;
and it is for this reason that the com
pany has filed suit in the common
pleas court against several of it's di
rectors to recover approximately $33,
000 which has been spent over ant
above the 10 per cent allowed by thu
securities commission as expense fo
selling stock and alleged that B. Z
Frantz, V. V. Hendershot, A. S. Can
nell and A. s. Hetzell are PERSONAL.
responsible for the excess charges.
