ESTABLISHED 1870. Shh Slump Passed ilore Wholesale Redemption of part of $70,000 Worth of Premium Paper leads to Exposure of Criminals ”South Norwaiil Given Some of lhem Recent developments have demon- strated that trading stamps have a value other than that fixed by pur— chasers in the regular line of business. , A few weeks since. one ofthe larg- est stamp companies in the city of New York received at its main office a large Invoice of stamps. running into the thousands. and a proper record was duly made of the same. A few days later. however, the oill~ clals indentitled with the company, in making an inventory of their stamp supply, discovered that several large packages had been surreptitiously re- moved. Their accountants were promptly notified to estimate the num- ber of stamps missing and to their surprise is was found that more than seventy thousand dollars worth had been stolen. Several days elapsed and nothing was heard from them directly or Indi- rectly, but suddenly a small merchant in the state of New Jersey was called upon to redeem a book of stamps. which took the form of the award of valuable silver, be, liy some myster~ ious agency thought to examine the book and was at once impressed with the exceptional cleanliness of the Stamps, (5 book loaves not having been in an wise marred by attaching them to the pages. showing that great care had been exercised and that the work had been done almost at a slit- 118. This merchant thought over the matter several days and then made some inquiries concerning another town where these stamps were given and in his surprise he learned that three hooks in as good condition as his own had been redeemed the day following his experience. The New York office of the concern was irnlnediatelv notified and this in- formation proved to be just the clue the corporation had been looking for. They a once set their slcuihs upon the trail of these stampdhieves and discovered that redemptions represent ing hundreds of dollars had been per- fected against the unsuspecting coun- try merchants. Suddenly they lost their clue and two weeks elapsed before the, stamp thieves-renewed their operations. This time in New Rochelle. They later visited Mount Vernon, than South Nor- walk, Conn, and on’Tliursday last were in Port Chester, where they made a first. rate haul. This storr could lie enlarged upon but it would be unwise to do so just a‘ this tithe; the officials in all towns of the New England States have been notified and a general alarm sent out. Important developments are certain to follow, / The operators who redeemed the new stamps in Port Chester are de- scribed as two women, both dressed in black, of comely features and very attractive personalities. When these women appeared at South Norwalk they were very stylishly dressed. ST. JOSEPH'S TEAM BEATEN. South Norwaik T..A. 3.3 Lost to New Canaan by Score of It to 10.
