An exchange says the Importance
Of publishing dissolution notice in
the event Of the change of a firm, is
shown by a decision at Cleveland. A
note for $4,000 was given by a former
member of the firm and the firms
name signed to it. 1t was discounted

appropriated the proceeds to his own

dissolution notice previous to the time
as required by law, judgement was
rendered against the old firm.
