[Mullins, Bill AMRDEC]

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

Barry Popik's web page has an entry for the fictitious law/accounting
firm of "Dewey Cheatham and Howe" (regular listeners of NPR's "Car Talk"
are probably familiar with the firm):

owe_fictitious_law_accounting_consulting_firm/

There apparently was a real firm by that name.

The New Orleans _Times Picayune_ for 9/27/1975 lists a writ granted in
this case: Turnkey Constructors Inc. vs. Dewey, Cheatum & Howe, Inc., et
al (Lafayette Parish).

Howard Jacobs, a columnist in the paper, mentions the legal action a
couple of times.  He also mentions a brokerage firm called McCann, Hertz
and Howe.
