Has Host of Creditors First Meeting Brew Largest Gathering Ever Assemble
In Waverly the first meeting of creditors for Alby Nichols of Dayton township drew the largest crowd on record for such a case with about half Tripoli’s business houses represented. Nichols, a renter on Mrs Buhr’s farm, listed 1700 in property with 1400 exempt mainly on machinery and goods barely paid for.
