St Louis March 5 The free day of testimony in the government case against B G Lewis for fraudulent use of the mails focused on document identification. District Attorney Houts outlined the formation of four corporations including the University Heights Development and Investment Company in 1901 with assets of 500000 and the Lewis Publishing Company with authorized capital 1200000. The others absorbed The Winner Magazine The Mail Order Publishing Company and The Women’s Farm Journal. Tangible assets totaled 38000 after adjustments, with printing presses as the sole tangible asset. The publishing company sold periodicals at 10 cents to 1 a year to lure advertising and attract outside investors, often small sums from outsiders in St Louis.
