THB EDITOR, New Scotland Yard, London, S. W. DOUBTFUL TRADERS and SWINDLERS. THE FOLLOWING List of Doubtful Traders and Swindlers is inserted for the information of Police. Complaints are frequently received, but no action can be taken against the offenders unless process is first obtained by persons defrauded :— COOPER, W., 753, Old Kent Road.— A dealer in bicycles, greenhouses, and accessories. He seems to do a genuine business; but his methods are unsatisfactory.— POLICE GAZETTE, 8th December, 1899. ( No. 111967.) DAVIS & CO., alias ALLEN & CO., 9, Peckham Park Road, and ALFRED & CO., 26, Denmark Hill, S. E., and other addresses in various parts of London, pawnbrokers and jewellers.

EMANUEL & CO., 31, Clapham Road, and other addresses.— Other names ( WEST, TEMPEST, & c.) and other addresses also used.— Advertise plate, " sealskin" jackets, bankrupt stock, & c.

ERSKINE CYCLE WORKS, otherwise " WIL- LIAMS & CO.," " DISC PHONOGRAPH CO.," & c., 84, Erskine Road, Walthamstow.— Adver- tise in Provincial Press cycles on easy payment system. Advertisements so worded that unless carefully read, intending purchasers imagine that the machine will be sent on payment of the first instalment— it is not supplied till fully paid for. The firm is conducted by one Wm. Clark and his brother. They do not make cycles, but pur- chase from wholesale dealers as required. Gen. Reg. No. 472098. FALKLAND MANUFACTURING CO., Harrin- gay; LANGHAM RUBBER CO., Tottenham; ALLENDALE, MOTOR TYRE MERCHANT, Tottenham. Under these and other titles and at other addresses, three men named Pallash obtain goods © f various descriptions and neglect to pay.

FISHER & SONS, ARMY CLOTHING CON- TRACTORS, Artillery Place, Woolwich. An old established firm with very lax business methods. They advertise extensively, and great trouble is experienced in obtaining goods paid for. Upon pressure being brought to bear, the articles are usually forwarded with some lame excuse for the delay. G. R. No. 569820. GLOBE ENLARGING CO., 27 Worship Street; MIDLAND ENLARGING CO., 76, Mildmay Park.— Conducted by a man who used respectively the names Watson and Greenwood.

GOLD BRICK SWINDLE.— Swindlers write from America to relations of lately deceased persons, stating that the deceased had assisted writer to start in business ( generally gold prospecting) that the business has prospered, and he is desirous of handing a share of the profits to his benefactor or family.

Applicants receive a circular so carefully and guardedly worded as to make a charge of fraud most difficult. ( No. 172493.) IMPERIAL SUPPLY STORES, 24, Crampton Street, Walworth. Many complaints are receivpd, but the firm generally discharges its obligations. It appears to be unbusiness- like and dilatory in its methods. ( No. 207128.) KEW TRADING ASSOCIATION, 16, Victoria Parade, Kew.— Many complaints reach Police because of the misleading nature of its advertise- ments. Nothing has been ascertained to justify Police action.

Known also at other addresses as " GRANTWELLS, " " BARRINGTON'S STORES," " DORADO WATCH CO.," & c.— Trade by means of advertisements so artfully worded as to make it appear that goods are sent on payment of the first instalment of cost.

C., and formerly at Ludgate Hill, ( POLICE GAZETTE, 13th December, 1907).— The firm purchases quantities of correspondence from other similar concerns.

( No. 77433.) 2 THE POLICE GAZETTE. FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 1910. DOUBTFUL TRADERS, & c.

Before sending the picture he demands money for, either ( a) cost of a suitable frame, or ( b) cost of packing case and transit. In either case the sum asked is exorbitant, and more than covers the whole cost of production' Unless the money is sent, photograph is neither returned nor promise fulfilled.— POLICE GAZETTE, 21st September, 1900. ( No. 74139.) THEOBALD & CO., THE HOME EMPLOY- MENT CO., of Albemarle Works, Hounslow.— Theobald deals in toys and cheap photographic material, & c.

A native of Altrincham. Warrant iasued. Information to Supt. McHale, Liscard. For the information of Police and for then- guidance, it is to be noted that there is a tendency among certain doubtlul traders to dispose of the letters they receive in answer to their advertisements to other doubtful traders, either by sale or exchange. The signature is then cut from each letter, affixed to an artfully worded circular and sent to the writer. The recipient frequently wiites Police to enquire how h s or ber signature came into possession of sender, or suggesting that it has been forged. Very many, however, seeing their own signature, imagine that the firm is genuine, and so are easily deceived. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.
