NEW ANGLES ARE
DEVELOPING LN
SALE OF FRUIT
JUICE CO. PLANT
Sheridan People Take Hand
in Affair and Local Stock
holders May Ask For an
Investigation of Their Own
PLANT IS MOVED
Profit on Sale of Plant Held
to be Justified by Howard;
Other Suits May Grow
Out of Case.
From all appearances the suit
filed in the circuit couht Friday
by the Albany Fruit Juice Cow
against J. A. Howard to collect
$1,000 alleged to be due from the
sale of the plant to Shipley ft
Co., of Sheridan, Ore, is going to
develop into an interesting af
fair. George G. Brown, who created the
process by which the Albany logan
berry juice was made, nd who was
the moving spirit in the organization
of the local company and who was
president of the concern until internal
dissentions split the organization
wide open, is in the city from Sheri
dan to take a hand in the affair. Mr.'
Brown states that if anyone has a
come-back on J. A. Howard for excess
profits it is. bis company, who, he
states commissioned Howard to buy
the plant at the lowest possible fig
ure. The suit filed in the circuit court de
mands that Howard pay over to the
stockholders of the Albany Fruit
Juice Co., $1,000 which he received
from the sale of the machinery to the.
Sheridan people." The complaint al
leges that Howard sold the plant for
$4,000, whereas only $3,000 was turn
ed over to the stockholders.
From his point of view Mr. Howard
exhibits bill of sale for the plant
transferring the property to his name
for the consideration of $3,000.. He
then sold it to the Sheridan people ..
on hi own account, he alleges. Mr. N
Howard denies having recetvd a com
mission from the local stockholders
for his services.
When the plant hit the rocks in
1918 Mr. Brown was in the east for
the purpose of taking order, for the
juice produced here. While he was
in Chicago, L. M. Curl, a member of
the company was sent to that city,
where trouble ensued and Brown was
let out of the organization.
It is said that at that time there
were about 60,000 gallons of juice at
the plant, valued in the neighborhood
of t70,000. It is reported that cer
tain of the stockholders of the com
pany have asked the state corporation
commissioner to come to Albany and
make an examination of the affairs
of the company and demand an ac
counting of the firm's transactions.
The case presents a triangular
tangle and it is possible that before
the present suit is disposed of that
at least two more will be filed.
Immediately upon the transfer of
the machinery and equipment of the
plant to the Sheridan people trucks
were secured and the entire business
was moved to their home vity. The
outfit is said to be worth between $7,-
000 and $8,000 at the present time.
All of the machinery was modern, the
pipes silver lined and everything of
the latest design for manufacture and
bottling of loganberry juice.
With the passing of the plant Al
bany loses a valuable industry, which,
if run right from the beginning would
now be greatly increased in size and
furnishing nothr payroll of no mean
dimension for the people of the city.
In addition, Albany would be getting
some valuable advertising all over the
east as" a result of the industry.
