RI. Curtin, one of the leading mer-
chants and business men OF Union City,
made an assignment for the benefit Of
his creditors last Thursday, the 9Th
ult.. President Walter Howell, Of the
Old National Bank, being named as
trustee. News Of the assignment was
very unexpected, Mr.. Curtin having
been engaged continuously in the exclu-
sive dry goods business here longer than
any OF our merchants and command
ing the highest degree Of confidence OF
the people of this section. Perhaps be
has no peer as dry goods specialist in
this part OF the State. Certain it is that
he is recognized as leader in the BUSH
ness, handling during the years of his
mature experience almost everything
in the way of bolt goods, millinery and
notions, silks and laces, and more re-
Gently all the modish things in ladies'
tailored garments that our exclusive
trade demands.
The assets will reach approximately
$50, 900, with liabilities, including cred
itors here, in New York City and St..
Louis, amounting altogether to less than
half the assets. Exact figures cannot
be given, but Mr.. Curtin, assisted by
Mr.. Ed Crenshaw, and his regular force,
is now busy taking an inventory, which
will be finished in the course Of few
days.
Mr.. Howell is now in conference with
the creditors, and it is safe to assume
an agreement will be reached whereby
Mr.. Curtin will be able to open up his
store again as usual. No man stands
higher here, and the hosts of custo-
mers and friends sincerely hope to see
the business proceed as heretofore with
Mr.. Curtin at the helm.
