DIFFICULT TO LOCATE THIS SILVERWARE COMPANY The following article is taken from the Columbus Telegram of a recent is sue. A large number of the letters were received by O’Neill people several weeks ago: Mail addressed to the United, American or Universal Silverware company, of Montreal, Canada, is be ing intercepted by postal inspectors and returned to the senders, says Post master Scofield. Operating at differ ent times under the three names men tioned, the alleged “silverware com pany” for some months past has been sending people at various points in the United States a notice to the effect hat they had won a handsome set of silverware as a prize in a, contest and the same would be shipped at once if they would send 98 cents to cover cost of packing and postage. One Columbus man who received such notice says he had never participated in any such contest and doesn’t believe one ever was held. “It looks to me like the ‘company’ relies upon the fact that people who receive those letters, even though they never participated in the alleged contest, will send the money, thinking the ‘company’ has made a mistake and it’s an easy way to get a set of silverware, or will make the re mittance thinking that some friend may have sent in their name.” Uncle Sam is trying to lay his hands on the “company.” Thus far he has not suc ceeded because of its frequent change of name, but in the meantime he is intercepting and returning the letters of susceptible people who swallow the bait.
