To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
We, the students of Yale University, request that you print a warning to beware of a man representing a certain New York engraving company, selling a bronze seal, banners, etc. Visiting Yale he made several hundred dollars illegally.
Below is a copy of the account of the proceedings which appeared in the Yale News:
"Last Thursday a man went through the campus dormitories, and by representing himself to be an agent of a New York firm, which was closing out in stock, obtained a great many orders for seals and banners. His offer included a bronze Yale seal, a leather banner, and half a dozen Yale pennants for $3.50. The extremely low price of the articles was explained by the desire of the firm to dispose of its stock at once, on account of a recent failure. The failure was also given as a reason for the demand for immediate payment, and the delivery of the goods was promised for the next day. It is believed that over $200 was collected by this means and that the same plan has been successfully followed at several other colleges. A movement has been started to apprehend the man and prevent him from further operations." E. H. FULTON, Yale 1909.
