We are panied to note that several
Of our exchanges are still carrying an
advertisement headed condemn High
Priced Stock Foods, which was sent
out on very good stationery by "The
Mineraline Chemical Co., 1888 North
Wells street., Chicago. ILL.," There
seems to be no doubt that all such
are "in well", or at least quite
hole on this account as the adyertis-
ers are fraudulent. How do we know?
Why, we were caught in the same
place, and have failed to collect. But
we saved ourselves from striking the
bottom of the well. The only safe
plan is to demand "cash in advance"
from all unknown concerns, as we pro-
pose doing hereafter. When the space
of newspaper is stolen, its pockets
are picked.
