]. G. Campbell, president of the
Monarch Hardware company, Went TO
Portland a few days ago when the
creditors began their investigation of
the affairs of the company. A. E.

the creditors and has taken charge Of
the stock. He will sell out the stock
as soon as possible, after which the
business will be closed.
The business of the firm Turing 1907
was $4,000 which was considered eX-
ceptionally good. For some reason.
however, the company did not prove
able to stand the financial strain of
the past few months and could not
meet its liabilities. The creditors are
chiefly eastern manufacturers ana
wholesalers from whom the stock was
purchased. On account of the pressure
IN the east, theSe creditors deinanOed
payment on the obligations of the
firm, but the firm was unable to pay
the accounts and the creditors decided
to take over the business in an effort
