You decide to check out the telephone numbers for the vendors. All of the vendors have telephone listings except for Lantern Co. You go by the address and there is a print shop called Austin Printers. You go in and ask how long they have been there and if they have ever heard of Lantern Co. They reply that the company has been at this location for 20 years. The owner recognizes the name and said that a check came in for them once. But before he could send it back, some young fellow came in and picked it up. He doesn't remember anything else about the incident and hasn't seen any mail other than junk mail in a while. The junk mail he just throws away. All of the other vendors check out when you call their telephone number.
