THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
T h e
Mr. Atha said that manufacturing was
stopped on Feb. I, and that at present Isaac
A. Lewis, an expect accountant, is at work
on the books. It is probable that he will re-
port at the meeting of the stockholders. Mr.
Atha said that the proceedings thus far had
been friendly and that no application had
been made for the appointment of a receiver.
He could not say what might be done in
the future. The course that would be de-
cided on would probably be determined when
the stockholders meet.
