the hat factories.
Mackenzie 81 Co.'S hat factory has shut
down work for an Indefinite time on &C
count OF financial troubles.

for an extension Of time, probably on &C
count OF slow collections. The creditors
will meet in New York ICity, this week
Friday. The factory is running as usual,
filling their orders for hats. 1t is hoped
that the firm will be able to pull rough
without making an assignment.
