pany on July 24, 1908, at 4:30 p. m., notwith- 

 standing that this proceeding was brought about 

 by no fault of the management of the business. 



The cause which brought about this unfor- 

 tunate proceeding was the fact that the corpora- 

 tion was suddenly refused the renewal of a 

 $3,000 note, which in the opinion of the board 

 of directors it had a right to expect a re- 

 newal of. 



It Is true that the dnU season In our business 

 Is on now, but In prior years a large business 

 and patronage has been enjoyed by the company 

 during the winter and spring months, and this 

 In connection with a small accommodation of 

 ready cash in tlie summer months has caused our 

 business to grow year after year, but when this 

 refusal came to us at a time when we were 

 unable to realize cash from other channels than 

 the bank, we Immediately learned that some 

 creditor became nervous and in order that no 

 preference might accrue to any creditor the 

 president of the corporation has as yet made no 

 efTort to stop the proceeding In banliruptcy, and 

 it will depend entirely upon the board of direc- 

 tors' ability to raise ready cash in order that 

 the petition in bankruptcy may be contested and 

 withdrawn. 



You of course understand the terrific loss to 

 any estate that falls into litigation, because 

 everything will be sold at a sacrifice, but we 

 assure you that we will do everything in our 

 power primarily to see that the creditors will 

 receive the best results if possible to again re- 

 deem the business. 



On account of having enjoyed the confidence 

 of our creditors in the past, we feel very keenly 

 the situation in which we have been placed, but 

 we sincerely hope that there will be a way to 

 save the business and to adjust matters satis- 

 factorily to all parties concerned.
