Plan to Pay Debts In Full Through New Matthews Firm
A letter to creditors outlines a proposal to form A. D. Matthews’s Sons, Inc., by joining L. Dimond Sons with Matthews’s Sons. Creditors would be paid with bonds yielding 10 percent on acceptance, 9 percent otherwise, and 4 percent per year for 12 years, aiming to settle debts in full.
