The F. E. Livengood company has
purchased the Teutsch department
store from the First National bank
and henceforth the business at the
corner of Main and Alta streets will
be conducted by the new owners, with
Mr. Livengood as manager.
An order confirming the sale of
the s'ore to the First National bank,
was signed by Judge Thomas Fits
Gerald last evening. When he did
so the business passed Into the hands
of the bank.
The $22,251 which the bank pays
for the business will be divided
among the creditors pro rata and It
means that the creditors will receive
approximately 50 cents upon the dol
lar for their claims. Employes of the
store at the time Mr Teutsch went
bankrupt are preferred creditors and
receive their salaries in full A total
Of 127 claims have been filed against
the bankrupt estate.
Tho New Company.
Immediately after learning that
Judge Fitz Gerald had confirmed the
sale made yesterday, G. M. RTce,
cashier of the First National bank,
announced that the bank had dispos
ed of the store to Mr. Livengood and
his associates.
In the Livengood company, Just
formed, F. E. Livengood is being
backed by his brother, Sam Liven
good. a wealthy merchant of Mlll-
edgeville. III.: and by the First Na
tional bank, which retains a portion
of the stock. His brother will arrive
shortly to look over the field, but will
not be actively engaged in the busi
ness itself.
That the store will not be opened
for a week or 10 days yet was stated
by Mr. Livengood this morning. That
time will be required to get the store
hack into shape for business. The
old force of clerks will be reemploy
ed as far as possible, according to
Mr. Livengood, and Louis Greena
wald will continue to have the shoe
making department.
A Permanent Business.
That the store will be continued as
a permanent business was declared
this morning by Mr. Livengood and
he says that it will be conducted along
much the same lines as far as lines
of goods are concerned.
With his extensive knowledge of
the business and with the benefit of
Mr. Toutsch's experience Mr. Liven
good firmly believes that he can
bring the store to -a successful pay
ing business. Incidentally this con
viction is shared by the bank people
and others who are backing the new
firm.
As head man under the former
owner of the store, Mr. Livengood
has been In Pendleton for the past
five years and during that time he has
made a wide circle of friends who
