In a Brooklyn paper, in large head¬ lines, under the title "Flag Defamed in Freeport," appears an account of a certain Freeport merchant who is al¬ leged to have recently, in a fit of an¬ ger, grabbed a package of food product and torn off the flag covering the same, saying as he did so, "What do 1 care about America'."' and that thereupon the salesman who was try¬ ing to obtain an orde.- from the mer¬ chant, Iiromptly knock, d the merchant down.
This incident is alsj attributed to me.
I have been in busice.s m Freeport for 16 years, and although born in Germany. I have for tne past 2.t years sident of the Ir.ited States and am a naturalized .Aourlcan citi len.
The aforesaid reports are absolutely untrue. I have ntvc-r otfered any in suit to the tlag of my adopted country. On    Washington's    Birthday,    in    my

Will Open Factory

Contract bas been signed and work will soon be started on remodeling the old Gere building, on North Main Street, to be occupied as a factory by Shebar <fC- Klein, dress goods manufac¬ turers, of Seigel Street. Brooklyn.
The entire hrst floor of the building will be occupied by this concern, which has a factory at the above address, and at the start 60 sewing machines will be installed, run by electric mot¬ or. This will provide employment for a number of girls from this section. Only a small pari of this company's business will be transferred to Free- port at the start, but it is quite prob¬ able that if the venture proves sue-, cessful, eventually their entire busi¬ ness will be traiieferred here and a factory opened, giving empl'iymenl to hundreds of people.
