SUGAR TRUST NOW HAS A RIVAL
(By Associated Press.)
N EW YORK, Aug. 1.—The Independent Sugar company has filed with the
county clerk at Elizabeth, N. J„ articles of incorporation. The capital is
placed at $125,000, but this can be increased at will.
The home office is at Hanwood, N. J., where Harry Christensen, one of the in
corporators resides. The other incorporators named are Henry L. Hobart and
George H. McGinnis. Their addresses are given as Front street, New York city.
While the details of the concern are not made public here it is expected the
formation of the concern is the foundation or development of a strong rival to
existing combinations.
The charter is ample to cover almost anything or to be expanded in its scope
at any time. It is drawn under what has become known as the "Blanket
clause."

Sullivan and Jones, who are each 16
