Banks Demand for the Payment
of S25,774 the Cause.
Chicago, Dec. "a. II. Andrews g. Co.,
one of the largest manufacturers OF Office
and school furniture in the country. failed
to-day. with liabilities which will prob
ably reach several hundred thousand dol
lars. The immediate cause of the col
lapse was the demand of the Globe Ma
tional Bank for payment of two judgment
notes, amounting to $25.774, which the
bank had loaned the company. The lat
ter pleaded for time but 1t was not
granted, and shortly after noon to-day
the attorney for the bank entered a con-
fesslon of judgment in the circuit court In
favor of the bank, and against the COM
pany for the amount named. The COM
pany Is a corporation, with A. H. An
drews as president and Fred g. Hol-
brook as secretary, and capital stock
Of about $4,000. 1t is one Of the oldes:
concerns of the kind in the west, and the
failure will cause CONSERVATION IN imam
cial circles, the. more because It came
without a breath of warning.
Shortly before O'Clock tne company
made an assignment in the county court,
the assignee being Fred G. Holbrook,. Sec
siRnmenf places the assets at $500 900 and
the Liabilities at 100000.
The company is said to have been in
troubled waters, financially speaking, Tor
some months. Small sales and slow col
lections are alleged TO be the cause of the
embarrassment. The company made a
very fine grade of goods in its line and
hard times necessitating economy in ALI
kinds of business, the demand for expen-
sive office furnishings and fancy furni-
ture rapidly diminished. Those in need
of such things contented themselves with
a quality cheaper than that turned out
by the Andrews company. The effect of
this condition of the trade was to greatly
reduce the Andrews company's business,
and the handsome profit previously earn
ed was changed into steadily increasing
