970 - L Nov. 29:4/4 - Several weeks ago a firm by the name of "Albert
B. Clark Co." rented a warehouse at 136 River st., and advertised to do
a general forwarding and commission business. The firm was composed of
two men, one of whom stayed in the store to receive goods while the
other one would buy. In their crooked way they would have goods left
at the store and promised to pay for them later. Quite a number of
business firms fell for the racket, resulting in their being swindled
out of $4,000 or $5,000. These men have now disappeared. (10)
