WALNUT: 



Receiver Appointed for the Astoria 

 Mahogany Company, Inc. 



Negotiations have been going on for some time looking toward a 

 reorganization of the Astoria Mahogany Company, Inc., a New 

 York corporation having its executive offices and manufacturing 

 plant at Astoria, Long Island, under a plan of reorganization which 

 w^ill place the company on a sound financial basis and provide new 

 working capital. 



In order to enable a continuance of the company's operations 

 and also to conserve the assets of the company pending such reor- 

 ganization, friendly receivership proceedings have been brought 

 in equity. Douglas H. Allen, who has been appointed with Edward 

 W. McMahon, a member of the law firm of Graham, McMahon, 

 Buell & Knox, with offices at Manhattan, as one of the receivers by 

 Judge Garvin of the United States District Court for the Eastern 

 District of New York, is fanniliar with the operations of the com- 

 pany, having acted for the past six months as representative of the 

 principal creditors in connection with the company's affairs. 



The receivers have been authorized by the Court to carry on 

 the business as heretofore, and arrangements have already been 

 made with the principal creditors for financing the raw material 

 requirements of the company during the term of the receivership. 

 As a going concern, the assets of the company, having a book 

 value of approximately four and a half million dollars, exceed its 

 liabilities by a substantial amount, and the proposed plan of reor- 

 ganization contemplates payment of all trade creditors in full upon 

 discharge of the company from receivership. 



The appointment of receivers for the Astoria Mahogany Com- 

 pany will not affect the company's tropical subsidiaries, the Nicara- 

 gua Mahogany Company and the Compania Mexicana de Caoba y 

 Cedro,
