...Times, Van Cleef & Arpels and Carter assured "our patrons and friends that we are not the jewelry concern in question." Black Starr & Gorham followed with a "not me" ad in the Times.

Though other New York jewelers know the name of the seller, for "ethical considerations" they cannot name him. But somebody must be talking, Alden concluded: "The word is that a stream of customers have been going into his shop...
