As general proposition, when an indus-
trial plant in this district goes into the
bankrupt court many plants are smut
down, men lose their places, and il the
men are due money they often are forced
to wait many months for full payment
after getting a small per cent. In the
Southern Iron and Steel company case
every detail has worked as perfectly as
possible under any circumstances.
President James Bowron of the Stand
ard Steel company assumed charge as
receiver of the Southern Iron and Steel
company in August of 1912 without cent
of money to the credit of the company.
When he delivered the properties of the
company as. receiver to himself as presi-
dent of the new company he delivered
S1S2,0oO in cash to the new company.
That indicates the successful operations
of the company during the terms of re-
ceivership.
The officials of the new company as
announced yesterday are:
President. James Bowron: vice pres
ident and general sales agent II. San
born Smith; secretary and treasurer,
a. r. Forsyth purchasing agent, b. L.
Tyler; assistant purchasing agent, L.
e. Geohegan; auditor. T. NJ. Nesbitt;
assistant general sales agent c. C.
Brown; superintendent of mines, j. L.
Strong; manager of steel works, Ala
bama City, C. A. Moffett; traffic man
ager, II. II Knight.
President James Bowron of the Stan
dard Steel company has issued this cir
cular to the customers of the COM
pany:
