Thereupon ? .--t!:'iitor was sent to the store (406 Broadway), presented i ? . - * and ?sired If he could purchase a |200 Victroln at $1 the "ff.r iiulioateil. He was informed that, he would have to j ? ? *-:>0 ? month for th?8 olas* of mschine. This experience the claim of th. complainant. The Ad-Visor published the farts. ega'fl wished to ins'ire itself against charpes of misrepresenta 1 only have sold the Victrola in accordance with the terms of -, however, that the statement in the above Pavega , ? . rhe erroneous advertisement appeared hut once. Hud Stattet with whom The Tribune inveftigator dealt ho had full opportunity to do, he might have Baved his '.: = tre"<s of mtr.d. As the matter now stands, error un-, . when the test came, must be charged against PavegaV, but not -,'pr?sentation. ?r lY.*t'*;:i who rushed into th? m?l?e doesn't come out so well,! ippear by the following: Our -s cslled by some erf our customers to a publlca ich was in one of the morning New York Tribune papers in the lolaan. Yon described In that column how I. fiavega, of 405 Iway, advertised any Victrola at ?l a week, and that when a per ? ".to the store to purchase a high-priced Vietrola he vm told ? enough paid tlown he could purchase a $20f? Vietrola : | ;i week plan. Ifl the f.rst place, I. Davega is not loratod at 4ir> Broadway. Wei*. llYVh Street, and has nosit.vely no connection srtth anv other l>nvega store. In the second place, one of your representatives was In our store to-day and inquired about a $200 Victrola. and claimed that he had read an advertlt-ement stating that we ?old 1200 Victrolas for $1 a week, and we wish to state that are tr ink It Is a vary cheap ad? vertisement for The New York Tribuno to send any of thfir represen? tatives, who does not even make himself known, and tried to He to one of our clerk?, stating that wo had advertised $:?00 Vietroliis at $1 a week, which we positively have never done. Via know ?hat we can prove thi? In a court action, whi,-h we have under consideration, for a Uttle damage for about $5,000. Our advertisement specifically atated ?hat any one conld own a Vie? trola, and we have never advertised that we sold $200 Victrolas at ?1 a week, for we do not do this. We will go ?head with this lasrsult unleea yon print in your netus psyer that you had made a mistake and that I. Davega. of 125 West 125th Street, does not misrepresent any of their advertisements and that It was a mistake on your pert. Our advertising i(i"nt, Foster, T>ebr-oi?e Company, of IB and 17 West 8Sth Street, ean benr this letter ont in c-ery respect. We will await your rep.y before proceeding further. 1. ?U VEO A, JR., INO. By h. Davega, V. P. Before brtngfpf that eeurt action "for a little damage for about, |3,000," Mr. Pavega, -read your own advertising. On Oct-ober 11 you pub- ' Hshed this offer: ''VirtTolas $18 to $150?-11 ft week." Again, on Novem rurr 1, appeared an advertisement: "Any one can afford to purchase a Victrola on our Easy Payment Plan, SI a week; Victrolas Si-, to $400; I. Pavera, Jr., Ino., 125 West 125th Street." If "Victrolas $15 to |I60 |1 a week" doe? r.ot mean that mnchir.es Bt the Intermediate prices may be purchased on tho*-e terms, Mr. I>avetra ' is requested to inform ub what It does mean. Meantime, a word of advice \ to him. Pon't try to bluff The Ad-Vlsor. It's a waste of time. Perhaps ?blB etmilar fr?tn ?he Oeneral Emergency Rerrlee will in West you and ?-apply material for your \ery interesting articles. IKE WEHTHEIlfER.
