involuntary bankruptcy, came up in
the federal court at Indianapolis on

at Indianapolis on business in connec-
ton with the recent Simons- Mickey

at $4,000, with the assets nearly as
large.

chant in town. Before opening his

store in Hammond, and recently
remarked that he would like to locate
permanently in Hammond If 1t was
only possible to move his building
there. 1t was too bad it was not pos
sible to move that, for 1t would have
saved the driver many hours of hard
work moving stock away, arousing
