The Securities mmission as part of its function began a check of ets so that securities might be approved for the ket. Among some of the major things its investi- | found out were that several companies which listing among its sset > listed as holding the raw materials were non- existent. There was for example a “warehouse” in Montreal listed as “A. H. Raymond & Co.” Investi- gators found this concern to be staffed with one girl who said the total business transacted was a dozen letters a year, half of them from the wholesale house. Since the mail handling arrangement was made in 3 she had seen no one connected with the firm, the girl told an investigator. Another Montreal “warehouse” books of McKesson & Robbins, Co."

Thompson, Treasurer of the drug corporation, also told the invesfigators that still another firm, “Man- ning & Co.”, through which the wholesale house did business, was non-existent. Then it was revealed, according to the reports, that a vast amount of business was done through a brokerage account listed in Mrs firm known as W. W. Smith to have offices in Liverpool, Coster’'s name in a & Co., which was said England, and Montreal Probe is being made in that direction and the account has been tied up in the courts.
