THAYER & Co.

Toronto

Failure of Thayer & Co –One of the principal topics of conversation amongst the trade at present is the failure of Thayer & Co ., the well known wholesale jewelers of this city, who assigned to Sherman E. Townsend on the 17th of last month. The cause of Thayer & Co.'s failure seems to have been a too reckless dispensing of credit ; this added to the shrinkage of trade owing to the exceptionally dull winter through which we have just passed, caused the bank with which they did business to shut down on them, after which there was nothing left for them but to assign. The liabilities are $38,590, made up as follows Merchandise indebtedness, $14.500, preferred claims, $6,090, and Bank of Commerce, $18,000. The assets amount to $20,000, and consist of stock. $19,000, and book accounts, $1,000. A meeting of the creditors has been called by the Assignee, when they will decide how the estate shall be disposed of. It is probable that Mr. Thayer will make an offer of settlement, if not the stock will in all likelihood be sold to the highest bidder. When the failure was first announced, it was expected by some that the forced settlement of the discounted notes held by the bank, would create a considerable inconvenience to the trade, but this has happily been in a great measure averted by the bank's consenting to give the makers ample time to liquidate them. As Thayer & Co.. although not considered very strong financially, were thought to be doing a good business and making some money, their assignment has been considerable of a surprise to the trade generally.

J.A. DOUGLAS & SON

St. Catharines, Ontario


J. A. Douglas & Son, of St Catharines, one of the oldest and most respected retail jewelry houses in Ontario, assigned a few days ago to Sheriff Dawson. Twenty-five years ago no retail jewelry firm in Canada stood higher than did the house of Douglas & Co., but for some time past they have had a hard struggle to keep afloat, and finally had to succumb to the inevitable.

Death of James Douglas

St. Catharines, Ont., April 28.—James Douglas, a prominent citizen of this place, died Friday at the age of 79 years. He was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, and came to Canada at an early age. About 60 years ago, Mr. Douglas opened a jewelry- store in St. Catharines, in partnership with Robert McMullen, and, until a few years ago, was active in business and public affairs. He took a keen interest in municipal matters and served a term as mayor of the city, in addition to filling other important public offices.

L.(E.)J. SCHRECK

St. Thomas, Ontario

Seized by the Sheriff.–The stock of E. J. Schreck. retail jeweler of St. Thomas. Ont , was last month seized by the Sheriff under an execution for a debt of $21732 due to one of his Toronto creditors. Mr. Schreck got behind with his creditors some six years ago, and ever since then seems to have had a very hard road to travel commercially.

Source: The Trader & Canadian Jeweller - April 1890


The Last Turn.–As indicated in our last issue, the affairs of L. J. Schreck, jeweler, of St. Thomas, Ont , have apparently reached their termination so far as the jewelry business in Canada is concerned. After repeated failures, the business, which has of late years been run under his wife's name, has bean closed out by the creditors, and the stock sold at 18½ cents on the dollar to P. Bertwistle, of London, Ont.

A.O. NORTON

Coaticook, Quebec


Failed.- A.O. Norton, wholesale jeweler of Coaticook, Que., has assigned on behalf of his creditors.

Source: The Trader & Canadian Jeweller - February 1890


Correction.–Amongst our editorial notes in February's issue, we stated that Mr. A O. Norton, wholesale jeweler of Coaticook, Quebec, had assigned for the benefit of his creditors. This item was based upon information, the accuracy of which we had at that time no reason to doubt, but we have since been informed that the statement was entirely incorrect, and that so far from Mr. Norton's having failed, he has always paid cash for the goods he bought, and is as solvent to-day as he ever was This being the case, we regret exceedingly that we should unwittingly have fallen into the error of making any statement detrimental to his credit and standing, and have pleasure in giving this correction the same publicity in our columns as the original article.

WILLIAM COX

104, Barton Street, Hamilton, Ontario


Toronto, Can., July 28.–At about 9 p. M. on July 26, the jewelry store of William Cox, 104 Barton St., Hamilton, Ont., was entered by two young men, who asked to look at some watches. Mr. Cox placed a number of watches on the show case for their inspection, when they suddenly rushed behind the counter and knocked him down, rendering him unconscious. He was then bound and gagged and the robbers secured watches and rings valued at $600 and made their escape.

Mr. Cox on recovering consciousness was able to roll to the front door and kick until he attracted the attention of passers-by.

The police were at once notified and arrested Edward O'Connor on suspicion of being one of the robbers.
