A WARNING} TO PUBLISHERS. LOOK OUT FUR THE SWINDLE / Deab Sibs : Havine: received from iimany of the Australian and New Zealand publishers, (for my investigation and approval) an adveitising proposal sent them by a New York concern under the name of " Pembebton, Ayeb & C 0.," offering a double-oolumn advertisement of the " Norman 'BtiECTUic: Light C0.,"6f- Philadelphia, Pa., to be inserted' "in. all numbers of your paper for three months," 1 have investigated the character of these concerns, (both " Agency "and advertisers) and find :them both unmitigated frauds andsvrindles. The Press of ; the countries named, I fear, have been largely takeu m by these impostors, and may,; have unwittingly led their readers to make remittances to the Philai delphia qonoern ;,if so, they may render a .valuable service t» the public by cautioning them against the impostors. I append a" telegraphic dispatch which appeared in 'the New ) York Tribune' of < Jau vary 6th, 1886. Yours, m behalf of Honest Advertising, H. P. HUBBARD. New Haven, Jan. 7, 1886. [From the New York Tribune, Jan., 1886.J The " Norman Electric Light Company." Philadelphia, Jan, sth, (Special),— Mayor Smiththis morning received a letter from the Inspector-Generai of Police ot New South Wales and a citizen of New Zealand,askingiparticulaTS about the^'Nor^ man Electric Light Company, ot, Philadelphia," which . has been adyertisidg extensively m Sydney and ' other parts of tn'e 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 jj&eUnited States Court.
