Defunct Fisheries Product Company Under Investigation, Aug. 31, 1925

A thorough probe of the defunct Fisheries Product company is being made by the attorney general, according to announcement made by Governor McLean. Many farmers in Robeson and other counties in the eastern part of the State lost hundreds of thousands of dollars by investing in this company. The investigation now no doubt will be thorough ad is to be commended. In order to head off future companies of the kind it is to be hoped that investigations will be made before instead of after. When the State makes an investigate the devilment usually has already been done.
