She says she will maybe take up trained nursing. She hears
it that there are lots of openings for a young woman that way."
Morris sat down and fairly beamed with satisfaction.
"That's the best piece of news I hear it in a long time, Abe," he said.
"Now we can do maybe some business."
"Maybe we can," Abe admitted. "But not with Philip Hahn."
"Why not?" Morris cried. "We done our best by him. Ain't we? Through him
we lost it a good customer, and we got to let go a good shipping clerk."
"Not a _good_ shipping clerk, Mawruss," Abe corrected.
"Well, he was a good one till Miss Kreitmann comes."
Abe made no reply. He took refuge in the columns of the Daily Cloak and
Suit Record and perused the business troubles items.
"Was it our fault that Immerglick is N. G., Abe?" Morris went on. "Is
it----"
"Ho-ly smokes!" Abe broke in. "What d'ye think of that?"
"What do I think of what?" Morris asked.
"Immerglick & Frank," Abe read aloud. "A petition in bankruptcy was this
day filed against Immerglick & Frank, doing business as the 'Vienna
Store.' This firm has been a heavy purchaser throughout the trade during
the past two months, but when the receiver took possession there
remained only a small stock of goods. The receiver has retained counsel
and will examine Louis Frank under Section 21 A of the Bankruptcy Act.
It is understood that Mendel Immerglick, the senior partner, sailed for
Hamburg last week on the Kaiserin Luisa Victoria and intends to remain
in Germany for an indefinite time.
