The Fltzpatrlrk (Slass Factory, Fullsercek. which has had a stormy career Is about to have another cha liter added to Its history. Recently creditors brought an action to have the company declared a bankrupt. The ease Is to come before the United State District Oiurt Monday for argument at which time a motion to vacate the bankruptcy proceedings will be argued. It Is the contention of the persons who are trying to have the bankruptcy proceedings set aside that the company Is not a bankrupt. At the present time tho Fitzpatrick Glass Manufacturing Company Is capitalized at 1250,000. It is said that If the bankruptcy proceedings are s«jt aside thero Is a company formed ready to least' tho factory, or to purchase it, and that this company will | be capitalized at $t 00,000 and that they will guarantee an annual profit of about a quarter of that amount. On the other hand It is the contention of the creditors who have commenced the bankruptcy proceed| ings that the conditions of tho coril' pany are In such shape that it will i be necessary for the plant to be sold ! before the affairs can be straightened j out. Remember that we have never carried, nor do we intend to carry clothing for men as low priced as $4.98, but we are obliged to sacrifice the remnants in order to make room for our spiing goods that are daily coming in.
