Sometimes Gun-nature traps are mare elaborate: (me time' when a rival company wanted information about some secret procegsés used by another company, they called him in, After discovering which e'xecutive in the other company would have all the information needed, Cumming" put an ad in the paper the executive was known lo read. offering a iob which needed precisely the executive's qualifications and " a higher salary. The executive fuse to the bait, answered the ad. was interviewed by Cumming (posing as a personnel manager) several times. Some of the interviews took place over excellent dinners accompanied by wine and, quite naturally. in such an encouraging atmosphere, the executive relaxed and talked " length about the job he was doing‘for hls present company _ . . and " wasn‘t long More Cumming had the ihftrrrttatitm he needed about the secret manu- faeturihg process. Ethical? No, but not illegal either. This is the twilight zone in which business spies like Cumming operate, a place of eloek-and-datrgerr, where the undisttnguished little man at the next cafeteria table may be old Super-Snooper himself, A lot of Cumming's investigations are carried cut without! his moving from his own comfortable office in New York; he has} about fifteen different letterhead, tin which he writes to companies l for information heeded by his clients. Strangely enough, he usa-) ally gets it. For example. one manufacturer framed to kmnvl how rn_any similar machines to his own product a competitor was selling. Using a phoney letterhead, Cumming pared as a pm. tive customer and wrote to the competitor about its machines. They sent him specifications and other sales material. Cumming wrote back to say that he was still interested, but he'd like tol check with some satisfied customers to find out how the machines I' worked in practice. The company replied by giving him a list of: the firms using their machines, which was exactly the infirm-J tion that Cumming? client Wanted. Cumming has become an expert on thofe or less legal methods of getting the information that his client wants. One of hit most effective tricks is simple misrepresentation. A manufacturer o? razor blades was worried about a competitor who turned out blades of consistently higher quality; he suspected " rival had obtained a new machine which made this possible and he hired Cumming to find out. Cumming called at the rival factory say ing he was it writer for a trade paper who wanted to do In article on the company. He was taken on a guided tour during which he found out that it was not a new machine but a special heat treat. ment which made the blades so good. On “other job, Cumming posed as a slackholder in . textile company who happened to be passing by a branch of the com. pany and just dropped in it) know more about "hir' company. The pith! manager personally took him on a tour and Cumming got the information about a vermin process that a rival textile company wanted. ’ 7 "thawing Is, a! eonlse illegal. but it's legal (even if un- ethical! to have your own Phones tapped' and this is what Cum- ming did for an engineering company which was consistently be- ing ,undErbid on jobs by a certain competitor. The engineering company was located in a suburban area and most calls trom the plant had to be toll calls. Cumming got hold of the toll slips and went through them; he found that calls were going from his Elient's plant to the competitor at certain times during the week when almost nobody was about. so he suggested that they tap the client's own phone. As a result, Cumming found that his client was being betrayed by one of hivexecutives who had been with him for more than thirty years.
