How the New Assignment Law is Regarded
by Business Men—tnierviews with Law-
yers and Legisiators—Accuraie Synopsis
of the Law. -

Considerable feeling having been mani- |
fested in commercial circles at the new law}
élating to assignments for the benefit of)
creditors in this State, which went into
effect Sept. 8, a reporter of ‘THE TRADES-

in which the law is held by prominent legis- |
lators, lawyers and merchants, by way of |
interviews with gentlemen in each profes-
:
Mareh 2, 1867, most of the States permitted, |
as some of them do now, assignments by
debtors with preferences to certain favored
creditors, and it was not unusual to find
four or five classes in an assignment, each
yne of which was to be paid in full before
the succeeding one should receive anything |
whatever. During the 11 years while the

assignments and the State laws of insolv-|
ency were held in abeyance; but since 1878 |
there has been a revival of State insolvency
laws, with some rather unsuecessful attempts |

t uniformity in the different States. The
discarded Bankrupt law left many of its
features impressed upon the publie mind,

and none more so than the idea of absolute

estate among the general creditors. In the
Legislative enactments intended to take its
ylace there has been very generally incor-
porated a clause abolishing all preferences.
The law of Michigan relating to assign-

was passed in 1879, did this in simple and
direct terms. The act of 1883 is clearly
fashioned after the old Bankrupt law, and

 

tatute and notably departs from any en-'}

actment that has heretofore been in force in

Michigan. |
REPRESENTATIVE FLETCHER,

who made a good record for himself in the

Legislature last winter, says that the bill

was understood at the time to be the inspir-
ation of W. k. Burt, president of the State
salt association. Mr. Bliss was strongly as-
sisted in the Senate by Mr. Koon, of Hills-
dale, and Mr. White, of Ludington; and

Moore & Moore, a legal firm of Detroit.
The bill was reported unfavorably by the
Judiciary Committee of the House, and laid |
on the table by that body, but during the |
confusion of the last evening, it was called |

up, and passed, it having already passed the |

Mr. Fletcher and other opponents.

. . |
of the measure were absent from the House |

at the time, and expressed regret on their re- |
turn that it had been run through in oe
inconsiderate a manner. When asked to ex: |
press an opinion on the law, Mr. Fletcher |
stated that he thought it would be a failure,
and not accomplish what it was intended. |

 

pit is copied verbatim from the Minnesota |

statutes of 1880-81, and all accounts agree |
that in that State, it is working badly. |
Rogers & Rogers, commercial attorneys of St. |
Paul, recently informed Mr. Fletcher that |
the law was the oceasion of “great disgust.” |
The Minnesota system of courts is much bet- |
ter adapted te render the workings of such a
law successful than ours; but.as it was tak- |
en bodily, and no changes inade with a view |
te adapting it to our system, it cannot fail to |
become inoperative, as we have not the
machinery for enforeing it. Mr. Fletcher |
does not apprehend that the Supreme Court
will declare the new Jaw unconstitutional,
put is inclined to the opinion that that tri- |

bunal will not hesitate to say that it is un-|
workable in this State. In Minnesota there |
is no distinction between a court of law and
equity, and any court can appoint receivers ;
and grant injunctions. Our courts of law |
ean do nothing of the kind, and while the |
new law does not state explicitly that pro- |

~~ ceedings under it shall be in a court of law. |

4t plainly means that that is the court in |
which proceedings shall be taken. Lawyers |
will generally agree that no judge of a court
of jaw will undertake to appoint a receiver, |
as they have no authority for so doing, ex-|
cept this law. The section which provides |
for involuntary proceedings attempts to au |
thorize judges to exercise judicial functions |
in chambers, and deprives the defendent of
a jury trial. Taken as a whole, the law is |
faulty in the extreme, and it is only a ques-
tion of a few months when its bad features
will have become so marked that there will

s pe a universal clamor for its repeal.

y

Mr. Fletcher does not think that either of
the political parties will undertake to pass
the Lowell bankrupt bill through Congress |
at the next session, in view of the nearness |
to election. The new bankrupt bill recently ;
passed by the English Parliament is repre- |
seated as possessing admirable features, and

REPRESENTATIVE THOMPSON
confesses that he does not understand the |
workings of the bill, and says that he will,
be better able to give an opinion on the.
measure after it has been passed upon by |
the Supreme Court. As it is, a man who
makes an assigument does not know his |

| rights until after it has been tested before |

that tribunal. It would take a month to’

| study it up properly, and even then he would |
| not be sure that he had arrived at all of his
| conclusions correctly. Mr. Thompson admitt-
- ed that if a delinquent debtor approached him |

with a $100 fee, he could tell more about |
the law than when talking to a reporter, but

and clearness. It is a standing reproach to
the custom in vogue at Lansing to leave im-
portant bills until the closing hours of the
legislative session, and then rush them
through promiscuously, without regard to
how they had been reported by the proper
comiittees, or previously disposed of by the
houses. He does not remember which way
he voted on the measure, and in this
does not differ from the great majority of
legislators, who are compelled to record their
votes the last day just as the fancy strikes
them, in most cases. He does not think that
a National bankrupt law is the best for the
country, but is inclined to the opinion that
each State should regulate its own commer-
cial interests.

REPRESENTATIVE SELLERS,
of Cedar Springs, remembers voting on the
bill in the House, but whether for or against
the measure he has forgotten. He attributes
its origin either to Senators Pennington or
White, on the ground that most of the
“queer” acts ground out by the last Legisla-

 

but was unable to verify the supposition by
a cursory examination of his files. When
explained the peculiar provisions of the bill,
handiwork of some “cranky lawyer;” and
“The lawyers are a
curse to the Legislature, and the State ought

them. ”

MR. 0. A. BALL,

the new departure is the meanest law ever
invented, as it leaves open no chance of
forcing the collection of a debt, without com-
pelling an assignment. The immunity af-
forded the debtor after final settlement re-

 

 

 

of the old National bankrupt law. A man |
who fails dishonestly has every advantage |
over his creditors, while the latter have no|
relief whatever. Mr. Ball submitted the.
law to four leading lawyers, but no two of |
them agreed in their interpretation of the
spirit of the statute.

|

 

MR. ROGER W. BUTTERFIELD.
says that the new law is a “vile piece of
legislation, combining the most objection. |
able features of the old National Bankrupt
law, without any of its virtues. Its provis- |
ions are not sufficiently definite to ensure its |
suecessful working, and I am positive the |
courts will not enforce it.”
MR. HENRY SPRING,

of Spring & Company, has not been able to
look into the law sufficiently to forma an)
opinion as to its workings.

MR. CHARLES MCWHORTER,
local manager of Dun’s Mercantile Agency, |
pronounces the law a vulnerable one, so
complex in its construction and workings |
tnat it willbe productive of much perplexity |
to lawyers, and expense to both debtors and
creditors. He states that there are a nui |
ber of ways by which the intent of the law |
can be evaded, and ventures the opinion |
that business men will not be slow in ascer- |
taining this fact, and taking advantage of |
it. his will render the law practically in-|
operative, and eventually bring it into dis- |
repute and disuse.

MR. HENRY IDEMA,
local manager of Bradstreet’s Mercantile |
Agency, says that in his conversation with'|
business men he finds that no one has a fav-
orable word for the new law. He terms it)
a “Lawyer’s Law,” and predicts that it will
be the cause of an immense amuunt of un-
satisfactory litigation. His experience in
such matters leads him to think that it will
be practically inoperative, and that the only
ones who will be the gainers by it will be
sharp lawyers and dishonest tradesmen.

SUMMARY OF THE LAW.

The full text of the new law is to be
found on page 217 of the Public Acts, ses-
sion laws of 1883. As the volume is not ac-
cessible to the great majority of THE
TRADESMAN’S readers, it has been thought
best to make a careful condensation of the
law for their benefit. The draft was sub-
mitted to a leading attorney,who pronounced
it. correct, and as embodying all the impor-
tant features of the law:

Section 1 provides that after levy of an
execution upon his property, the debtor can
within ten days make an assignment of all
his estate not exempt by law, and there-
upon-as soon as the assignee qualifies the
levy is dissolved and no lien attaches under
it. The creditor who made diligent pur-
suit fares no better than the rest. It is pro-
vided, however, ina bungling way, that
“this section shall not apply’ to cases in
which the judginent was not rendered until
20 days after the filing of declaration in
the case, the probable meanang of which is |
simply that the judgment crieditor shall not:
lose his lien under the execution and levy
in case the declaration was on file for
twenty days before judgment.

Section 2 provides that when a debtor!
shall undertake to give preference by con-
fessing judgment or otherwise, or does not)
within ten days after levy of execution on |

 

 

 

 

‘his property either make an assiguinent or |

MR. WM. G. HERPOLSHEIMER, |
of Voigt, Herpolsheimer & Co., says that |
the mew law is an infamous one, and is |
bound to do incalculable injury to the com |
mercial interests of the State. It places a!
premium upon all sorts of rascality, and |
enceurages sharp practices and downright |
dishonesty. ‘The creditor has no remedy in '
the law, and is utterly powerless to prevent |
the depreciation of just claims.

MR. L. J. RIDNGE,
of Rindge, Bertsch & Co., says that the new
law is the worst piece of legislation that has

| impress of either stapidity or cupidity. The:
| settling clause is the worst feature of the)
| measure, and it makes it compulsory on the

creditor to accept whatever the assignee |

| chooses to tender him, after he nas onee |

: = t
| filed his claim, and absolves him from all
| further liability.

Under these circumstan- |

ces, no matter how fraudulent a transaction |
may be, it will be impossible to establish |
fraud. Mr. Rindge is strongly of the opinion |
that the law will not “stand water,” as he |
expresses it, and believes that if a test case |
were taken to the Supreme Court, that judi
eiary would declare the law unconstitutional

ME. CHRISTIAN BERTSCH,
of the same firm, says that he consideres the
non-preference clause in the new Jaw an ex-,
ceHent provision, as it serves to place all
creditors on an equal footing. The other
provisions he is inclined to look upon with:
some disfavor. as they are contrary to the |
principles of common honesty, and will |
serve as loop-holes for dishonest debtors.
My. Bertsch is most unqualifiedly in favor of |
the National bankrupt law, and much pre- |
ferred the old law to the statutes since en-|
acted in this State, experience teaching him |
that while the expense of bankruptcy was
necessarily greater, the proportion realized
by creditors was also correspondingly great-
er. If the bill now before Congress provides |
a safe and sure method of passing through '
bankruptcy, involving less expense than the |
old law, it would-be. well for the commer-_
cial interests of the’Country if it Were*made
a law at the earliest opportunity. Until,
that timé, and so Jong as. the present State |

®* mikers may conclude to fashion a law after law remains in effect, he looks for a large’!

' shall be commenced in the county in which

tion, then two or more creditors, holding
claims aggregating .$200, can apply for a
receiver in the Circuit Court. This course
is to a considerable extent parallel with the |
inveluntary proceeding in bankruptcy. |
Every creditor, in order to share in the dis- |
tribution ef assets, either through an assig-|
nee or a receiver, must come in and prove |
his claim and sign an agreement to release |
the debtor from all further liability. This ;
is an attempt to effect a release of the debt- |
er through the action of the creditors, wh ich ;
the Federal act accomplished through opera- |
tion of the law.

Seetion 3 provides that “if any insolvent |
debtor shall confess or suffer judgment to |

any of his creditors shall obtain a prefer- |
ence over any other of his creditors, such |
insolvent debtor shall be deemed guilty of |
a misdemeanor and punished by a fine not
exceeding $500; and in default of payment |
shall be imprisoned in the county jail for a |
period not exceeding six months.” The
eeurt is also empowered to granta writ of |
ane exeat in certain cases, to prevent the
debtor from leaving the State.

Section 4 follows the Bankrupt act in de-|
elering that all payments, conveyances and |
securities made or given by an insolvent |
debtor within four months of making an |
assigniuent, with a view of giving a prefer- ;
ence, shall be void as to all creditors who!
had reasonable cause to believe that such |
debter was insolvent at the time of the |
transaction.

Section 5 provides that all proceedings, |

the debtor resides.
Section 6 provides that in cases upon)

| which attachments or levies are nade, and |
| which are dissolved under the provisions of | : a
| But, so far as respectability goes, why should

tis act, the costs ef the former and a reas- |
onable attorney fee must be paid first by |
the receiver.

Section 7 directs that all
brought under the provisions of this act
may be commenced and prosecuted in the
naine of the assignee or receiver.

Section 8 provides that any creditor,
whose claim is disallowed, in whole or in |
part, by the receiver or assignee may ap-|
peal from such disallowance to the circuit |

proceedings |

' court, and there have such claims tried the |

same as other civil actions.

Section 9 provides that the assignee or |

receiver may be removed, and a new one)

appointed, by the court, upon the vote of |
two-thirds in number and amount of the |
creditors. |

Section 10 in full is as follows: No|
creditor of any insolvent debtor shall re-|
ceive any benefit under. the provisions of *
this act, or any payment of any share of the |

proceeds of the debtor’s estate, unless he |

|such assigument of his property, or

| such insolvent debtor

has fraudulently or in contemplation of in-

| eumbrance or disposal

| thoroughly as did the Bankrupt law

|
| to the debtor of all claims other than such |

|asmay be paid under the provisions of
| this act, for the benefit of such debtor, and
thereupon the court or judge may direct
that judgment be entered, discharging such |
debtor from all claims or debts held by

cieditors, who shall have filed releases: |
Provided, however, That when any credi-_
tor of such insolvent debtor who has made |
of
whose property a receiver has been appoint-

ed as provided in this act, alleges by com-
| plaint made to the judge before the time for
| the

distribution of the insolvent’s assets
among his creditors as herein provided, that |
has fradulently con- |
cealed, or fraudulently incumbered or dis- |

| posed of any of his property, or fraudulent: |

ly incurred any apparent indebtedness or
confessed any judgment, with the intent to |

cheat and defraud his creditors, or that he |

solvency incurred any of his indebtedness, |
such judge may allow the insolvent debtor |
to appear before him, ata time and_ place
to be designated by such judge, and after
giving such complaining creditor notice of
the time and place of hearing, in such man- |
ner as the judge may direct, the judge may |
proceed upon such complaint summarily, |
without the allegations therein being con- |
troverted or denied, and may hear such |
legal evidence as he may deem pertinent, |
relating to such fraudulent concealment, in-
of said debtor’s |
property, or fraudulent indebtedness. as al- |
leged in said creditor’s complaint, and
after said hearing said judge may, in his |
discretion, orderor direct that all of said
debtor’s property and assets, not exempt by |

|

\
1

| law, be distributed among his creditors, as |
| hereinbefore provided, upon their filing such

releases, or without their filing releases as |
aforesaid. And creditors may be examined |
in like manner, in respect to the validity of |
. : . . |
their debts. In ease the circuit judge shall |
find the allegations of such complaining
creditor to be true, he shall order and direct
that all of said debtor’s property and assets
not exempt by law, be distributed among |
his creditors, as hereinbefore provided, with- |
out their filing releases as aforesaid. |
Section 11 provides that the assignee or
receiver shall publish his appointment as
such within ten days, and mail notices to |
that effect to all creditors whose names are |
known tohim. All creditors wishing to |
obtain the benefits of this act, shall file |
their claims within twenty days after such ,
publication.
Section 12 notes an exception to the equal
distribution of the assets by the assignee
whieh is almost precisely like the exception
in the Bankrupt law. Next after payment |
of costs of administering the assignment, |
debts due the United States and the State |
of Michigan, and all unpaid taxes, are to be
satisfied in full, and then are to be paid all
wages of servants, clerks and laborers for
services performed within three months and |
not exceeding $50 in each ease. After these |
come the genera! creditors on an equal foot- |
ing.
From the above synopsis of the law, it will |
be seen that it revolutionizes the method of
collecting debts by legal process almost as |
itself. |
The dangerous point seems to be that credi-
tors, even for small amonnts, have it in
their power to take advantage of any tem- |
porary embarrassment of a debtor and force |
him into an assignment which will—per-
haps unnecessarily—wreck

|

sufficient to pay all indebtedness in full— |

which, if experience under the Bankrupt law |

is good for anything, would almost never

happen—the debtor depends upon the cen- |
It |

sent of his creditors for his discharge.
will also be observed that it affords a debtor
with good credit opportunity to swindle the

creditor in tle most systematic manner; and |
that the creditor, after signing a release, has |
no remedy against fraudulent transactions |
which may be apparent, but hard to prove.

There has been a moderately fair trade |

tinues practically as heretofore, though a}
slight falling off in activity has been per- |
ceptible in many departments, and the gen- |
eral market may possibly be said to be a)
shade quieter and less buoyant. In some)

that it is now the season between stocks, and
that a more spirited demand may be looked |

is regarded as unimportant and too slight to.
have any significance. Manufacturers think
that the signs of the times point to an early
end of the present depression, because the
conditions are now practically the same as
in 1877. Stocks are unprecedently low, and
the demand is gradually overtaking produc-
tion. However this may be, there are no
symptoms of discouragement or apprehen-
sions of crises among operators in any non-
speculative branch of trade. The tone of
the markets, notwithstanding the complaints
of quiet, is cheerful and hopeful, and it is
worthy of note that collections are every-
where reported better than for some time.
Values, as a rule, are strongly maintained,

if not in excess of those toward lower prices, |
while in the great bulk of commodities they
remain steady, and show no disposition to
change.

The estimated outturn of the factories of

000 in 1882, while the estimates of the pro-
duction from first cuttings in Behar show an
increase of 279,300 pounds. In the north-
western provinces the prospects are not so
favorable by reason of a lack of rain, and it
is feared that there the crop will prove a
short one, though at the date of our latest
advices no accurate estimate could be made.
So far as the Bengal production is concerned

The change, however, ; the supply will probably be a little smaller

than last year, while the crop in other coun-
tries, so far as heard from, show littte pros-
pective change in the production as compared
with last year. The course of prices, so far
as this is likely to be affected by the pro-
duction, may therefore be expected to vary
little from that of the past six months.
There are earnest predictions made by those
who pretend to know all about the artificial
article, that this will soon be sold at a price
that will effectually crowd out the natural
product, as madder was pushed _ to the wall

the part of either producers or dealers, and
it would not be prudent for consumers to
count on a large reduction in the price of the
natural product for some time to come, at
least,

An tmprooable Story.

A Chicago drummer, who was wearing a
small circular piece of court-plaster on his
face. removed it while shaving a few morn-
ings sinee, and replaced it when his toilet
was complete. Contrary to his usual ex-
perience, as he went about his business dur-
ing the rest of the day he was everywhere
received with smiles. which grew broader
and broader, wntil at last somebody laughed
in his face. Led by this to look in the glass,
he was somewhat taken aback to discover
that, instead of the court-plaster, he had
affixed to his face a little round printed
label, which had fallen from the back of a
new mantel clock purchased the day before,
and which bore the inscription, ‘Warranted
solid brass.”

A commercial exchange contains the ad-
vertisement of a firm for help who know
their trade, and “do not want to run the bus-
iness of the firm.” ‘There isa good deal of
truth in this sarcasm. An employe may
know more about the business than the firm,
but that is not what the firm hire their help
for. Thereis a great demand for employes
who have learned to do as they are told, and
not consult their own opinions it the matter.
An employe that learns to obey has learned
one of the first elements of success.

 

We give considerable space on another
page to a careful discussion of the new law
relating to assignments, passed by the last
Legislature, and now in full effect in this
State. Not content with pointing out the
objections made to the measure by repre-
sentative business men, we have learned
from the lips of legislators the circuni-
stances of its passage, and fortified our
position with the opinion of able lawyers.
In a score or more of interviews with lead-
ing wholesale and retail dealers, no one has
been found who ventures a good word for
the innovation, but all are unanimous in
pronouncing it the most unsatisfactory piece
of legislation that has ever come to their
notice. Lawyers unite in denouncing it as

cable in its workings, and thoroughly un-
suited to our system of courts. Legislators
blush to tell the story of its lobbied passage
through the House, in the confusion attend-
ant on the last evening of the session, and
realize, though too late, that it reflects no
little discredit on a Legislature not over
blessed with either wisdom or good sense.
As is pointed out, there “area number of
ways by which the law can be evaded and
circumvented, and even if it is not pro-
nounced unworkable by the Supreme Court,
the evasions will bring about its virtual an-
nulment.

a

One of the healthful signs of the times is
the conservatism displayed on every hand
by men of business. The lessening of in-
dustrial activity, the settling of values of
stocks and other commodities, and the fre-
quent failures of late, have all had an influ-
ence to make men more cautious and circum-
spect in their dealings. All this is very good.
Reckless methods of doing business do not
pay inthelongrun. Men undoubtedly have at
times tided over difficult places by putting on
all steam and running ahead irrespective of
the consequences, but where one has succeet L-

ed in this manner a thousand have failed. }
Collections are a little dull just now, but this |
must be a temporary depression, and is one|
of those diseases which will eure itself.
Close observers predict an excellent trade
in nearly all branches in the near future, and
our business men, as a rule, are So control-
ing and shaping their affairs as to be able to
realize their share of the profits to be deriv-
ed therefrom. Caution, prudence and hope-
fulness are neeeed, and those possessing
these most valuable requisites of character
need have little fear of bad times, either in
the present or future.

“When our republic rose, Noah Webster |
became its schoolmaster. There had never |
been a great nation with a universal language |
without dialects. The Yorkshireman can|
not now talk with a man from Cornwall. The}
peasant of the Ligurian Apennines drives his |
goats home at evening, over hills that look}
down on six provinces, none of whose dia- |
lects he can speak. Here, five thousand
miles change not the sound of a word. }
Around every fireside, and from every tri-|
pune, in every field of labor and every fac-|
tory of toil, is heard the same tongue. We|
owe it to Noah Webster’s Spelling Book and |
Dictionaries. He has done for us what Al- |
fred did for England, or Cadmus for Greece.
His books have educated three generations.
They are forever multiplying his innumer-
able army of thinkers, who will transmit his
name from age to age. Only two men have
stood on the New World, whose fame is so
sure to last—Columbus, its discoverer, and
Washinton, its saviour. Webster is, and will
be its great teacher; and these three make
our trinity of fame.”

Alabastine is the first and only prepara- |
tion made from calcined gypsum rock, for
application to walls with a brush, and is |
fully covered by our several patents and |
perfected by many years of experiments.
It is the only permanent wall finish, and
admits of applying as many coats as de-|
sired, one over another, to any hard surface |
without danger of scaling, or noticeably |
adding to the thickness of the wall, which |
is strengthened and improved by each ad-
ditional coat, from time to time. It is the
only material for the purpose not dependent
upon glue for its adhesiveness ; furthermore
it is the only preparation that is claimed
to possess these great advantages, which
are essential to constitute a durable wall
finish. Alabastine is hardened on the wall
by age, moisture, etc. ; the plaster absorbs
the admixtures, forming a stone cement,
while all kalsomines, or other whitening
preparations, have inert ‘soft chalks, or
glue, for their base, which are rendered
soft, or scaled, in a very short. time, thus
necessitating the well-known great incon-
venience and expense, which all have ex-
perienced, in washing and seraping off the
old coats before refinishing. In addition
to the above advantages, Alabastine is less
expensive, as it requires but one-half the
number of pounds to cover the same amount
of surface with two coats, is ready for use
by simply adding water, and is easily ap-
plied by any one.

could have got adozen good ones for the
same price.”

up.

Parties from Reading have opened a fur-
niture store at Galesburg.

Potatoes are quoted higher in Detroit than
any other point in the West. |

James McClellan is just embarking in the
general store business at Mancelona. |

The Grand Ledge Chair Factory has lately
been making some large shipments east.

The Flint Woolen Mills are now turning
out 900 yards of cloth and 200 pounds of
yarn daily.

Algonac looks forward to a salt well and
a new saloon. One will help the other; salt
creates thirst.

About 1.500 barrels of apples have been
marketed at Bellue, averaging in price
about $2.15 per barrel.

Geo. Thomsett’s new store at Edgerton, to
replace the building burned down some time
ago, is now nearly completed.

pany is in full blast turning out thirty gross

formed a co-partnership, purchased a store |

ter to Frank A. Blackmer, who has taken |
possession of the same.

E. P. Newman, of Diamondale, has rented |

Over 4,000 bushels of potatoes were mar-|
keted at Sturgis the other day, and the farm- |

son. The daily receipts average 2,500 bush- }
els.

J. C. Benbow, successor to Chamberlain
Bros., at Cannonsburg, was in town Saturday. |
He says that good stocks and low prices are
winning back to that place much of the
trade that has of late gone to Lowell and
Grand Rapids. {

Phe “ettinazoo Teleyraph is responsible
for the following: A commercial traveler
vouches for the fact that on the door of a
store in a small village of Central Michigan,
he recently saw the following notice: “Gone
to bury my wife: be back in an hour.”

The Vanderbilt Independent says: The
bow] factory is under erection and presents
a business-like aspect. Mr. Williams, the
proprietor, is present and superintending the
work himself. The machinery arrived this
week, and will svon be placed in position.

Chapin.& Russell have errected a two-
story match and kindling wood factory at
Manistee. The building is 20x50 feet, with
an engine room 26x38 feet. They have 10
machines in the factory, seven below and
three above, the former being kindling wood
machines. They will commence manufac-
turing kindling wood this week. Their
melting and dipping house will be 20x20 feet
and of solid brick. They are also building
a warehouse 30x50 feet near their factory.
In this connection, it is not out of the way
to observe that there is enough kindling

wood wasted in Michigan mill towns to sup-|

p.y the entire United States.

CLOAKS WITHOUT NUMBER.

 

One Feature of Voigt. Herpolsheimer & Co.’s
Immense Establishment,

The cloak department of Messrs. Voigt
Herpolsheimer & Company’s large general
store is replete with everything in that line.
The stock of seal and fur lined garments is
complete in every detail, and the assortinent
of jackets, dolmans, Russian circulars and
paletotes, in silk plushes, diagonal worsteds,
ottoman worsteds, Cicilian worsteds, and
imported cloths, is the most extensive ever
shown it Grand Rapids. Ottoman brocades,
in all the latest novelties, and an endless
variety of Jerseys, both imported and domes-
tic, are an especial feature of the depart-
ment. A large assortment of street jackets,
ulsters and wsterettes, is shown—in short
the firm have everything in the cloak depart-
ment from the lowest to the highest. No
other house in the city has such a stock of
children’s cloaks and havelocks in plush and
worsted goods. A number of rare imported
cloaks for children are well worth seeing,
and those in need of anything in the cloak
line would do well to call and inspect. this
immense stock before purchasing elsewhere. |
