Blacklist Misprint Ties Stong to Seattle Grocers Scam
A misprint allegedly framed grocer Chas Stong in a conspiratorial blacklist by the Seattle Retail Grocers Association. The list aimed to pressure him over prices, though Stong paid cash and remained in good standing until a California firm cut his credit. The error was exposed after The Star published the details, leading to erasure from the blacklist and resumption of orders via Westernay.
