BUSINliSS EMBARRASSMENTS. 



Memphis, Tenn.— Albert Haisch, who 

 has conducted a retail store at 87 Mad- 

 ison avenue since February 15, 1913,. 

 filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy 

 in the United States court March 18. • 

 Liabilities amounting to $5,613.77 are 

 scheduled, with assets as follows: 

 stock $ soo.oa 



Fixtures 450.00 



Cash register IIO.OO- 



Insurance policy 300.00 



Book accounts 2,432.65 



Total ?4,092.55 



Omar L. Jewell, with offices in the 

 Tennessee Trust building, was appoint- 

 ed receiver to continue the business 

 until an election of a trustee can be 

 held. 



Mr. Haisch was, for several years, 

 connected with the Memphis Floral Co., 

 but started on his own account some 

 time before that concern went into 

 bankruptcy. He did a large business, 

 but apparently lacked capital and the 

 ability to accumulate it. The schedule 

 of liabilities shows fifty-five creditors, 

 nearly all well-known although widely 

 scattered firms in the trade, but in- 

 cluding a number who do not usually 

 figure in such records. Seven claims 

 exceed $200, but all except one of these 

 are below $400. The only large claim 

 is one for $2,014.45. 



Waterbury, Conn. — George T. Ryan 

 filed a voluntary petition in bank- 

 ruptcy recently, through his attorney, 

 Frank Hogan, and the first meeting of 

 his creditors was held March 15 in the 

 bankruptcy court. Liabilities are 

 placed at $2,300 and assets at $600. 

 His creditors are mostly trade con- 

 cerns.
