Receiver Appointed for Illinois Farmers Packing Company
The First Trust Company of Ottawa was appointed Monday by Judge Edge as receiver for the Illinois Farmers Packing Company. Eckhardt, the president, says the firm needs 50 000 to 75 000 more for operating expenses to meet obligations. The company owes about 44 000, with assets including a 30 009 packing plant in West Ottawa and cash accounts totaling 7 000, of which 5 000 are believed good, plus 650 cash in bank. It has 1 600 stockholders, mostly farmers in northern Illinois, and has not slaughtered or marketed any animals since July 17, 1921 due to lack of capital.
