The Boyd & Corey Shoe Co. assigned.
Thursday, to NJ. v. B. Chase, c. s.
Hichborn and Hon. Herbert NJ. Heath.
The business win be continued by the
assignees so that there will be nothing
changed from its present standing at
the shoe factory.
One of the leading directors of the
company was seen, Thursday evening.
by a Journal reporter regarding the
matter. and he said it was only what
had been expected for some time. ne
said the management at first nad con-
tracted large debt which made the
company rather embarrassed. NO.
long ago, Hon. P o. Vickery was eiec-
ted general manager and he has reduc-
ed the running expenses over $'ooo
year. Those who were in the company
did not care to put more money INTO It,
and naturally 1T had to assign Tor une
benefit of it's creditors
Not one cent will be lost by those
whom we owe" said the director, we
have now money enough in the treas
ury to meet all the present outstanding
bills, and 100 cents will be paid ON every
dollar we owe. The factory will run
right along for the present, at least.
and / doubt if it is ever shut down ON
account of this assignment. There are
many large orders for shoes ahead and
a good winters work is assured.
