Deab Sibs : !Haviner received from many of tße Australian and publishers, (for my investigation aii'd.an.proval) an advertising proposal sent them by a New York concern under the name of "Pembeeton, Ayeii & CO^" offering a double-column advertisement of the "Noßv man Electric Licjht C 0.," of Philadelphia, Pa., to be inserted "m all numbers of your paper for three months," 1 have investigated the character of these concerns,' (both " Agency " and advertisers) and find themboth unmitigated frauds and swindles. ' . ; . The Press of the countries named, I fear, have been largely takeii m by these impostors, and may have unwittingly led their readers to make remittances to the Philadelphia concern ; if so, they may render a valuable service t« the public by cautioning them against the impostors. I append a telegraphic dispatch which appeared m the New York Tribune of Jan vary 6th, 1886. Yours, m behalf of Honest Advertising, '.-.; H. P. BttJBBARD. New Haven, Jan. 7 } ; 1886. [From the New York Tribune, Jan., 1886.J The "Norman Electric,, Light Compaty." Philadelphia,- -Jan, 'Bth, (Special), — Mayor Smith this morning received a letter from the In'specfcor-Senerai of Police ot New South "Wales and a citizen of New. Zealand, asking particulars about the "Nui> , man Electric Light .Company, of Philadelphia," which has been advertisidg exten- . sively m Sydney and other parts of tne' colony. The authorities answered that the company is doubtless one of the schemes of Emil Basset of New York, who under the name of Marsh Bassett, was detected m carrying on a bogus watch business m this city and is now awaiting trial m the United States Court. :■•>.; 1 .•■•. ■ - • -
