The creditors of Griswold & Mac
! Kinnon of st. Johnsbury, wholesale
grain dealers, have appointed Jonas H.
Brooks and Harry Blodgett trustees to
handle the property and dispose of the
stock on hand. They have authority
to make any arrangements about the
continuance of the business and it is
thought that bankruptcy proceedings
will not be brought against the con-
Germ. A statement of the liabilities
shows that the concern has outstand-
ing debts of about $4,000 The assets
are $685. Liabilities of S167, ZOO are
distributed among IL banks in Vermont
and New Hampshire, none of which
will be seriously affected. The firm of
Griswold & MacKinnon, is one of the
best known wholesale grain houses in
Vermont. Captain E. F. Griswold, the
senior member of the firm, is one of
st. Johnsbury's oldest business men.
He has recently returned from Mont
real, where he underwent an operation
on his eyes, but the nervous shock
incident to the impending failure of
this concern has caused complete
breakdown and he is now in Brightlook
hospital, suffering total blindness.
