Cincinnati Produce Co. Closes Door Amid Scramble for Settlements
The Cincinnati Produce Co at 125 East Front street shut down on Monday after failing to meet the week’s claims. Representatives of nearby houses scrambled to secure settlements as manager H. H. Patton issued drafts for small amounts. Dealers owed consignments of fruits and other goods, and doubt about Patton’s finances spread. Patton previously worked in leather and poultry shipping, linking with Burnside, Kentucky interests, fueling speculation about hidden financial ties. Norman Taylor’s visit suggested Patton depended on external credit, and the weekly street accounts revealed lack of funds, forcing houses to accept questionable drafts.
