 spector and are accompanied by a cer- 

 tificate of such inspector, showing that

New York, N. Y.— A petition in bank- 

 ruptcy was filed February 23 against 

 Sam Seligman, 116 West Twenty-eighth 

 street, by three creditors, Joseph B. 

 Grossman, $388; Julius Syrkin, $79; Isa- 

 dore H. Werner, $61. Liabilities are re- 

 jiorted as about $16,000 and assets about 

 $4,000. Mr. Seligman, after traveling 

 on the road for a New York ribbon 

 house, went into business with a partner 

 as Seligman & Stein, later buying out 

 his partner and doing business under his 

 own n.ime, which his wide travels among 

 the tr.ide had made well known to flo- 

 rists. Judge Learned Hand the follow- 

 ing d.'iy ai)])oiiited Arthur Y. Dalziel re- 

 ceiver under $2,000 bond. 



Macon, Ga. — Announcement is made

Oklahoma City, Okla.— A meeting of 

 the creditors of the Stiles Floral Co., 

 held Fehniary 18, having failed to pro- 

 duce a solution of the financial affairs 

 of that concern, it went into bankruptcy 

 February 24. George Stiles was ap- 

 pointed receiver until the creditors can 

 elect a trustee. The business is being 

 continued by the receiver. In the state- 

 ment made at the time the creditors' 

 meeting was called it was stated that the 

 assets of the corporation were $100,000 

 and that liabilities were only $75,000.

 consider the assets to be subject to 

 heavy shrinkage in liquidation. It is 

 stated that the First National Bank of 

 Oklahoma City is an unsecured creditor 

 to tlie extent of $22,500. It was re- 

 l)orted after the creditors' meeting that 

 the rent being paid is $1,000 per month 

 and that $1.5,000 liad bcca lost in the last 

 SIX months.
