Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Auction sale yesterday spelled the end of Koscot Interplanetary of Canda. The pyramid selling firm recently went backrupt leaving debts of $4 million. Assets included office furniture and six barrels of mink oil; a cosmetic ingredient. The ornate desk went for $675; far below its market value. Relaxing at the desk is Mrs. Marilyn Snyder; an employee of the trustee firm which is handling the bankruptcy.
