Edison Toy Manufacturing proxy seeks stockholder vote for reorganization
Thomas A Edison writes to Edison Toy Manufacturing Co stockholders from Orange New Jersey on October 24 1890 urging a proxy to adjourned meeting in Portland Maine to elect a board backing a plan to reorganize and revive the business by selling speaking dolls worldwide. He warns the treasury is low and 16 000 unissued shares can only be cashed at par or exchanged for property while debts exceed 50 000 and funds are unavailable for manufacturing new dolls. He favors abandoning rights sales and concentrating on direct product sales with a practical commercial system and seeks support to secure funds.
