SEED TRADE 



statement of Boddington Company. 



In order that all the trade papers 

 iiiay have correct information relative 

 to the affairs of this company we wish 

 to state that the three creditors who 

 on October 4th filed petitions in bank- 

 ruptcy and for the appointment of a 

 receiver for Arthur T. lioddington 

 Company have applied for dismissal of 

 these petitions as an examination of 

 the company's affairs shows it to be 

 solvent by a considerable margin. 

 This voluntary action was taken by 

 the petitioners without any conditions 

 or considerations being demanded 

 from the company. At a meeting of 

 the Board of Directors held on Octo- 

 ber 6th Mr. Arthur T. Boddington was 

 elected president of the company. '
