whose stock they subscribed. The total
number OF stockholders in the Union
Stores, Inc, according 10 an official
statement prepared by a stockholders
committee on February o. is 2.5lo.
Only l65 OF this number have paid in
full for the stock for which they sub
scribed.
Only $50 have paid rs much rs half OF
their stock subscriptions, and 4l3 have
paid only one-Quarter OF their suhsCrip-
lions. The stock subscribers who have
made only one payment number 3%2.
Nearly 500 have made no payment at all.
