Chicago, Jan. 16.-Surprise was created
in the wholesale clothing district to-day
when the old and extensive firm of Kahn,
Shorenbrum & Co., manufacturers and
wholesale dealers in fine clothing at Ad-
ans and Market streets, were closed on
confessions OF judgments which aggre-
gated $l50000. Execution were issued in
each OF the six confessions and the sher-
im took possession of the establishment.
1t is estimated that the liabilities of the
firm Will reach 100000. The largest cred
itor outside of local banks which advanced
money on notes to tide the firm over bad
times are nine houses. The actual assets
are hard to estimate, but they are be-
Heved to be more than enough to meet
every dollar of the liabilities. The firm
carried an immense stock of clothing ana
their overstocked condition, combined
with inability to make collections in time
to repay the bank loans caused the fail
ure. The firm stood high among its New,
York creditors and in banking circles
here.
An effort is being made to effect a COM
promise among the principal creditors,
who We're forced to protect their interests,
and arrange for the firm to resume bus
mess. The members of the firm also own
ed a retail clothing house on State and
Quincy streets. The members of the firm
are Mark and Felix Kahn and Leopold
SchOenbrum. Later a bill was filed by
Mark Kahn against Felix Kahn asking
tor a dissolution of the partnership ex-
isting and the appointment of a receiver.
The confessions of judgment filed in the
circuit court were in favor of the Corn
Exchange Bank of Chicago for $50, 600,
Importers and Manufacturers National
Bank of New York for $4,000 National
Bank of the Republic of Chicago, $25. 900;
A G. Becker q Co., S10,000 and two 9TH
ers for small amounts.
The stock of the firm is valued at $780,
COO and the accounts receivable form a
large part of the assets. 1t was only re-
Gently that the financial condition of the
firm became such that heavy loans had to
be obtained from u bank on judgment
notes which the company expected to
meet easily from the accounts due, but
the collections were not made and the
bank would not extend the paper.
The Chicago Title and Guarantee Com
pay was appointed receivers for the Sun
Clothing store by the court, upon appIi-
cation of Felix Kahn, and took possess
sion of the establishment before the close
of business hours.
