Widow Pays$100,0
For Haskin Service

The question and answer column
OF the late Frederic j. Haskin, II
which is published in The Star ane
In more than 100 other newspapers
has been purchased by his widow
for 100000, 1t was learned yester.
day.
The sale was disclosed in a Dis.
trict Court petition for leave to sci
signed by Justice Oscar Luhring.
1t was pointed out by counsel TO,
the National Savings & Trust Co.
executor for the estate, that Mr.
Haskin's will requested that the
business be sold as soon as possible
after his death. Mr.. Haskin died
last April.
Although Mrs. Haskin Is CHIEF
beneficiary of the estate, she did not
receive full interest in the business
known as the Haskin Service, under
terms of the will.
The 500, 900 sum will revert to the
estate which Mrs. Haskin eventually
will receive. The reason for the pur-
chase, 1t was explained, is a legal
consideration to meet any tax claims
or other demands which might be
made on the estate.
Assets of the business were ap-
praised at 1921, but the petition
explained that the business is "a
matter of personal service and the
value thereof lies almost entirely
in its good will"
Other beneflciaries include two
sons. Frederic j. Haskin, jr, and
Nagel Haskin.
