STEPS BIZ STOCKHOLDERS.
The Peck Brothers Factory Plant.

The Peck Brothers Factory Plant.
The committee of stockholders of the
Peck Bros. company have, in anticipa-
ton of the advertised sale of the plant
of the company, which is named for
March 2, combined to protect the in
terests of the stockholders, and to this
end the stockholders are depositing
their stock with the New Haven Trust
company. This is done in order that
the stockholders may, if it is deemed
advisable, buy the plant at the sale.
In order to do this they will assume or
otherwise provide for the payment OF
the debt by the concern, which amounts
to S2SS,97l, and they will, of course,
have to outbid other competitors at
the sale, if there should be any. The
amount of the stock of the company at
par value is 100000. The stock at
present is valued at about 80 cents on
the dollar In other words, if the
stockholders buy the plant they will,
as it were, have to assess themselves
pro rata to liquidate the company's in
debtedness or obligate themselves to
do so. The stockholders committee Is
Henry Il. Peck, Andrew Shiland, jr.,
Frank G. Collins, Herbert C. Warren,
Pierce N. WEIGH, and William HI. Hart,
Messrs. Shiland and Collins being
New Workers, These men as the COM
mittee have, as has been indicated,
power to get all the stock in and buy
out the concern from the receiver,
Joseph Porter.
The stockholders, If not ready to pay
spot cash, can readily, being men of
wealth, find the wherewithal necessary
by a little negotiation. 1t is thought
that there may be other bidders at the
sale, as the sale has been advertised
in Boston, Chicago and New York, as
well as this city, and as the plant is
widely known in the trade throughout
the country. The report that Angus
tus I'll. Kimberly was at the head of a
syndicate to buy out the property is
denied by Mr.. Kimberly himself The
movement is in the hands of the COM
mittee of stockholders, and the inn
preston is that if the stockholders get
the plant they will eventually lose
nothing and in fact come out ahead,
as the plant is a valuable property and
can be made a paying concern again.
