Recently there appeared in the paper«, an Asanciated Pretut dispatch atatiag that the R A.
Pilcher Company hud gone into involuntary iNtiikruptey. The fact ia thut only u receiver in

The R. A. Pilcher Company ia not in financial difficulty because of luck of patronage, hut solely
through bad management in its executive department.
Too much buying and insufficient re

W ith these conditions corrected and stocks reduced, the business promises to goon I k - in n

The stores have enjoyed a wonderful patronage which is evidence of their popularity and ability
to serve.
To rehabiliate these stores is the plan and purpose of this procedure and the desire of creditors
generally, and with your co-operation, we hope within a short lime to restore them to their
owners in a hearty, wholesome condition.
