The firm is composed of S. H. Foster and
II. A. Greene, and they are among the most
popular and best known business men in the
city. They have been doing business on the
lower floor OF the Masonic temple for the
past five years. and have had an immense
Wholesale and retail trade. The cause of
the failure is assigned to difficulty in making
collections, which Is evidenced by the large
book account, every dollar of which is said to
be as good as bank notes.
Immediately after the assignment was
made S. FL. Foster made another assignment
covering all of his personal and real estate
property not subject to execution in favor Of
his creditors. THIS includes the $3.50
flats erected last sumner on the corner
of First avenue and Eighth street and a
large amount of other real estate. This
assignment is also made to Mr.. Metcalf.
The assurance that has been given that the
embarrassment is only temporary will be re-
ceived by the friends of the popular young
men with great deal of satisfaction. The
store was closed yesterday and an invoice OF
the stock was being taken. 1t will be com
pleted today and the store will be opened
again tomorrow under the old name, it being
certain that the embarrassment will be past
