Harry Stamm, doing business nsStauim Brethers, proprie tors of the large dry goods store en North Queen etreet have made an assignment for tbe benefit et creditors. William F. Bayer, esq., has been named as the assignee. The assignment has oauaed geueral surprise, be cause the Arm did a large and profitable business and were supposed te be la geed financial standing, Tbey are still finan cially sound and will be able te pay every dollar tbey ewe and have several thousand dollars left Tbe only reason given for the assignment la that tbe brothers disagreed In their busi ness rotations. Butb were anxious te have tbelr affairs wound up and they took tbe shortest possible method te clone up the firm's business. A receiver might have been appoluted, but it would have taken longer te dose up the business than the mode seleetel. Last winter they bought the property oeoupled by them at presant en North Queen street They psld $1,500 en acoeunt of the purchase and gave a mortgage for $20,000, aud that Is the only indebtedness recorded against them. They spent about $3,500 cash tn remodeling tbe storeroom. All the Indebtedness owed by the llrtn Is te Philadelphia and Naw Yerk mere'iants, but tbe amount cannot ba nsoertalned to day. An In von lery of tbe ateiik will be filed In a few days. It is theIiTlentIen of the ssslgnee te keep the store open and dispose cf the stock en hand. TJie stere property will probably be offered at public sale this fall. Stamm Brethers atore was ene or the fln eu la the elty. It Is te be regretted that they oeuld net arrange their business diffi culties amleably. Thelr business wss large and profitable and the latter fact Is shown by their acoeunt or atoek takeu In January. The figures showed the profits In two yesrs te ta $13,000.
