to the impossbility of securing funds
through the ordinary channel by the
discountipg of their commercial paper
and the fact that the large holdings of
real estate held by members of the

make a general assignment to John

tors, as the wisest means Of protecting
their assets and realizing the best re-.
suits for their creditors. AS soon as a
