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.
