Catholic Co in Trouble Executions Against Fidelity Funding Co
Deputy Sheriff Barnes seized the Fidelity Funding Company office at 115 Broadway after two executions totaling 12 343 dollars were issued for claims by Reliance Life Insurance for 17 761 dollars reduced by 6 503 already paid and by James B Crow & Sons for 1 085 dollars. The Reliance judgment stood at 11 258 with a 5 103 claim from Heany Fireproof Wire Company. Officials expect quick adjustment as Fidelity Funding, a New York lender formed in 1898 to finance church properties with endowment bonds, reorganizes amid changes in its officers. The company, once capitalized at 54 000 dollars and later raised to 3 000 000, has branches in Chicago, Buffalo, and Pittsburg.
