he sold out. Under the laws of Michigan there
can be no preferred creditors, and Mrs. Preston
will stand on the books the same as any other
creditor of the business.
The failure may be attributed to several
causes. In the first place, it has been an un-
usually quiet season in Detroit, and Bobzin &
Co. have been doing far too large an amount of
business for the amount of capital they possess-
ed. The principal creditors are J. & C. Fischer,
Hardman, Peck & Co., the First National Bank
of Detroit, James M. Starr & Co., Decker Bro-
thers, E. G. Harrington & Co. and Lyon &
Healy. In addition to these there is a consider-
able number of smaller creditors. The total
amount of indebtedness approximates $100,000,
and the largest creditors are J. & C. Fischer and
Hardman, Peck & Co. A meeting of the credit-
ors has not as yet been held. Mr. Bobzin is
expected in New York shortly, and it is rumor-
ed that he will try and arrange matters with
the creditors so as to continue the business as
agent.
