PILOT MAY PURCHASE
LORRAINE PROPERTY,
CONTINUE BUSINESS

With the purpose of continuing the
business of manufacture of the Lor-
raine hearses, since the failure of the
company originally responsible for the
business, the Pilot Motor Car COM
pany, of this city is considering the
matter of purchasing the property of
the former company.
Letters have been mailed to unse-
cured creditors of the defunct COM
pany, by the Pilot company. promising
to pay 40 cents on the dollar to all
unsecured creditors, providing they
agree to the arrangement.
Indications already point to an ac-
{ eptance of this proposition by the I'M
secured creditors as they could but re-
ceive 10 cents on the dollar from the
Lorraine company.
The unsecured Indebtedness aside
from the Lorraine company's indorse-
ment of customers paper amounts to
$34 900, with but So, 100 of available
| assets with which to pay this indebted
ness.
1t is reported that the first preferred
stock holders of the hearse car COM
pany are well satisfied with the ar
rangements.
| Contents OF Letter.
| The letter issued by the Pilot people
reads in part:
| THE Pilot Motor Car company is
willing to accept an assignment OF
your claim. and if we can get a prompt
assignment of all outstanding unse
cured claims so that we will be in
position to urge an early sale of this
property by the receiver, then we fee
that we can afford to pay 40 percent
for your claim against the Lorraine
company.
This offer is much larger than the
tangible assets of the company would
warrant US in making, and is based or
the proposition that the Lorraine com
pany has built up some good will which
will insure to the benefit of the PHO
company if it can secure and continue
the Lorraine business with delay"
Failure OF the Lorraine company
was largely due to an extensive bust
ness campaign waged this year in al
effort to promote trade. 1t is estimat
ed that between $4,000 and $4,000
was spent in artificial methods o
stimulating business.
