spilled this information Richard A.
Purdy, Equity treasurer, was out of

whether or not temporary tie-up
could be avoided That would have
been serious matter, for Equity by
this time was spending $4,000 a day.
At this point message from the
Pacific Bank at Seventh avenue and
torty-ninth street, informed Presi-
dent Gilmore that $4,000 had Just
been placed to his credit by wire from
California. Without saying a word
to anyone, he doubled around the cor

salted 1t away in depository known

BY that move Equity was assured

situation when easing meant lot to
