APEX IN The growth of the Apex Appliance John Forstrum during Its three years existence in Hammond seems almost mythical v hen tolJ In figures, but when the names of over eight hundred people, purchasers of Apex washers during the last three years appear in a page, ad carried In The Times today. It proves conclusively Forstrum has something evidently In demand and he is losing no time in meeting- that demand. "Where the Apex company formerly sold a few machines a month they now sell as high as a car load a month, as remarkable as this may seem. Finding the old location'too small for Uie purpose, the Apex company sousht larger and more commodious quarter!. The new building will accommodate a carload of washers, but besides .the Apex washers, will be displayed many other well known household appliances such -as the Apex vacuum sweepers, the fcureka sweepers, ironing machines, irons, toasters, and other elec electric trical goods. Mr." Forstrum is preparing for a rtav at his store tomorrow when be big expects to demonstrate the utility and labor savig features "of the Apex ap- j pliances. The women are especially in vited for Saturday. CASE BOBS Now the Larason Co. Enter Arena for Possession of Two $l,0CO Bonds. There's no rest for the poor public from the Jagsrer bond dilemma. Just when some coup has 'ceen pulled by one side or the other In the fight for possession of the government certifl- j cates and folks settle back, thinking the matter Is disposed of. along: conies someone else and musses everything; up again. Today It -was the Lamson Company, of Boston, which entered the arena. The firm through its attorneys. Ibacli. Gavit, Stinson and Gavit of Hammond, filed suit in the federal court for possession of two of the $10,000 bonds. The complaint names Ella and Chas. j Jateer of Gary and their attorney W.I 5 i J. Whlnery. of Hammond as defendant It is brief. It merely states that the Lamson Company is the owner of and lawfully entitled to Immediate possession of two bonds belonsinfr to Series TD-1920 and bearing serial numbers 7.6?1 and 7.66.. The value of the bonds with their interest coupons isj' placed at 820,475. The bonds are now I said to be in Hammond, in the posses-! s'.on of the d-fendants. Demand for ! thir return has been made h-it the d. ! fendants refuse to give them up. Iast week Mr. and Mrs. Jagser was arrested on federal warrants eharstin they had stolen the bonds from Melville Reeves, known as the "Skyscraper Burglar." The complaint on which the warrants were based charged thai Reeves was lawfully In possession of the bonds when they were stolen by the Jaegers who were said to have Impersonated Reeves In obtaining them. Mrs. Japsrer still holds to her original story that she found the bonds In a Chicago taxieab two years ago. In .estimation made by Attorney Wbinery through the Pinkerton Detective Agency, revealed that the bonds bad been stolen from the safe of the American Pneumatic Service Co., of Baston, In April. 1920.
