larger . and the consideration was larger than in any other similar sale in the mercantile history 61
'* the country. • '■ > , [ „\ .' . „
The power of "ready cash-was comprehensively demonstrated when assets valued at over two

the i dollar. This in spite of the efforts of Eastern "wrecking" and "assets realization" companiei
to get the stock and move it East. .

power, of their money when it goes to buy the Tibbs-Hutchings stock. Had ft not been for Lindeke.
■Warner & Sons this opportunity would have been transferred to merchants and consumers further
East. It would seem,' then, that Lindeke, Warner & Sons, besides deserving credit for a good stroke
of shrewd business, are also entitled to praise for a piece of work that will help the" whole Northwest:
Included in their purchase are not only, every bit of merchandise formerly owned by the unfor
tunate Minneapolis concern,?; but also their real estate; fixtures, trademarks, good will, accounts and
bills receivable. The merchandise and fixtures are, now ,being moved to the big Lindeke, Warner 4
Sons building at Fourth, Broadway and^Rosabel streets, in the heart of St. Paul's downtown wholesal*
. district. Experts are even now at work classifying and arranging the stock, and when all is in readi
