JOHN E. BECK

101, North Liberty Street, Baltimore


Sickness of John E. Beck Forces Him Into Financial Difficulties and Court Appoints Receiver

Baltimore, Md., April 3.—The application for a receiver for the jewelry and repair business of John E. Beck, 101 N. Liberty St., on Thursday, brought to light the very pathetic condition of Mr. Beck's health that caused him to neglect his business. He has been critically ill for about six weeks from a complication of diseases, and an effort will be made in a few days to take him back to his old home and relatives in Cincinnati.

Gilbert L. Sigler was appointed receiver by the Circuit Court on Thursday by consent and was bonded for $2,000. The bill of complaint was filed by the Sigler bros. Co., of Cleveland, O. It was alleged in the bill that Mr. Beck owes the firm $2,509, and is insolvent, his liabilities being $3,400 and his assets $2,000. A petition filed by the receiver stated that Mr. Beck’s stock had been appraised at $3,193 and that $2,000 cash had been offered for it by Harry Ades and Ellis Baker, and the acceptance of the offer was recommended by the receiver.

The business and stock was finally sold to Samuel Spungin, but the price has not yet been stated. Mr. Spungin had been nine years with the C. C. Crooks Co, in its repair department, and will cater to repair work in his new venture.

FREDERICK G. ROESINGER

Baltimore


Frederick G. Roesinger, a popular man in the local trade, died Saturday a week ago at the St. Joseph’s Hospital, where he had undergone two operations. He was suffering with appendicitis and was removed to the hospital and operated on Wednesday. But on the following Friday some other complication set in and it was found necessary to operate again. He could not stand the shock and died the following day. He was 48 years old and at the time of his death was with H. O. Huebner. Before that he had worked with A. C. Metcalf. He had previously worked with Arthur Wallenhorst, and Albert T. Lemkuhl, secretary-treasurer of the Arthur Wallenhorst Co., Inc., spoke very highly of him.

Jewelers to Be a Factor in Building the New Baltimore

Baltimore, Md., Feb. 28.—Though many local firms have expressed a willingness to go ahead immediately with erecting new buildings to replace their burned structures, this work has been delayed by the municipal authorities who are working on a plan of street improvement throughout the burned district. Many streets will be widened and others straightened. This will include Baltimore St., which will be widened 10 feet on the north side from Liberty St. to the Falls, as the plan stands now.

There are several schemes of parking which are being discussed, and until the plans are adopted in a legal manner, which necessitates the passage of a bill by the Legislature, the builders will be asked to wait. This can be done in a few days, however, as the Legislature is now in session at Annapolis. Several large jewelers have been among those who have asked for permits and have had architects draw up plans for new buildings. One idea of the committee in charge of the new building plans is to try to have the buildings as near the same height as possible which will add much to the general appearance. It is believed that within six or nine months the names of familiar business firms along the main thoroughfares will be seen again.

On all sides it is heard that larger and broader buildings will be erected to replace some of the more narrow ones. A sample of this may be furnished by the P. B. Sadtler estate, which owns 14 and 16 E. Baltimore St. Howard Sadtler, agent for this estate, recently said: “The buildings that will line Baltimore St. of the future will make a 15-foot front structure look out of place. We propose to erect a single building covering the width of the two stores that formerly stood upon this site.” The well-known and long-established firm of G. T. Sadtler & Sons, opticians and jewelers, will have quarters on the ground floor of this new and commodious building.

The Samuel Kirk & Son Co., which owns the large double lot at 106 and 108 E. Baltimore St., on one of which stood its plant which was completely burned down, will erect a large marble front structure covering both lots, and will be built in a most modern and fire-resisting manner. Another handsome structure to go up will be for the Hennegen-Bates Co. This will occupy the fine large lot at 13 E. Baltimore St., where the building they formerly occupied stood.

The James R. Armiger Co., which will remain permanently at the large building at 310 N. Charles St., which they purchased, has asked for a permit to take out the front brick support of the building and erect in its place one of iron. This will have large double windows with an entrance in the center The Saratoga St. entrance, back to which street the structure runs, will also be improved, while the large inside staircase will be taken out, which will give the first floor a broader appearance.
