Bought Bankrupt Stock at Huntington and Closed It Out

Walter R. Lee was down at Huntington last week, where he purchased through the referee in bankruptcy, the Joe Jeffries grocery stock. He invoiced it, advertised a big sale and closed it put slick and clean, selling the show cases and all. The only thing he brought home with him was the cash and a cash register. Mr. Lee reports that Mr. Jeffries is now working as a bookkeeper at the novelty manufacturing works there. He was not so greatly crushed by his failure that he has given up hope. Joe is a well qualified bookkeeper and clerical officer and will doubtless rise from the failure by his energetic labors. Both he and Mrs. Jeffries are enjoying very good health.
