man conspicuous in the Rug
World recognized the ability
of both Mr.. Parker and Mr.
Smith and persuaded them to
go into business on their own
account, he agreeing to back
them up with all the money
necessary.
The firm name of Parker,
Smith & CO. was put up at p.
"a and 26 West Thirty-fourth
street. where it operated until
Monday last at 2 o'clock.
Their backer was suddenly
stricken by death within a few
months after the business had
started. In the settlement OF
the estate it seemed necessary
to the heirs to close up the
business.
This was done. There was
no failure. The business just
stopped. We are very glad TO
