Hammond Seeks to Reverse Stock Gift to Employees
New York Aug 23 An attempt by James S Hammond head of the Hammond Typewriter company to revoke a trust agreement that effectively gave 520 shares to employees was argued in court. Hammond had appointed trustees in February to distribute stock to long serving employees, claiming he was near death. He was twice adjudged sane after questions about mental health. He had visited Europe and recovered, learned the stock was being distributed in his absence, and now seeks to hold the gift in abeyance. The court reserved decision. A later ad for Clerke's store at 125 N Main St offers spring or summer suits at $15.
