TRENTON COMPANY PUT IN BANKRUPTCY
Involuntary bankruptcy proceedings against the Porcelain Electrical Manufacturing Company of Trenton were instituted today in the United States District Court by Secor & Company, E. H. Freeman Electric Company and the Vacuum Oil Company.
The petition shows that the Porcelain Manufacturing Company owes Secor & Company [dollar: $1,400], E. H. Freeman Company [dollar: $20] and the Vacuum Oil Company [dollar: $10]. It is alleged that the company has not the money with which to pay these debts.
It is charged in the petition that the local concern committed an act of bankruptcy a few months ago when to prefer a creditor, it gave a chattel mortgage on its stock to the Hudson Porcelain Company.
The company is about three years old. Its officers are Charles A. Secor, of New York, president; Holt Secor, of New York, secretary and Charles H. Tichenor of Trenton, treasurer. The plant is at 54 Seward Avenue.
