Following day, when they were presented
at the farm house, where it was stated
they were the property Of clothing mer-
chant who had gone out of business but
VINO would resume soon and would like
to store them until such time.
A peculiar feature of the goods seized
by Trustee Mower is the fact that the
value of mems suits found was in ex-
cess OF the value of mems suits left at
the store. similar comparisons also exist
ing In top coats and rain coats.
The goods taken from the store consist
ed OF mems suits valued at S1.S1725; top
