Xo\EMBER IS, 1920 THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD 93 RECEIVER FOR J. E. CRAYTON & CO. Charlotte Talking Machine Concern Makes Petition and American Trust Co. Is Appointed Charlotte, N. C, November 5. — Judge William F. Harding has signed a petition drawn by stockholders of J. E. Crayton & Co., 217 South Tryon street, dealers in talking machines, pianos, sewing machines and other supplies, asking that the American Trust Co. be appointed receiver for the company. The receivership affects both J. E. Crayton & Co. and a branch office in Raleigh. The assets of the firm here are reckoned at about $75,000 and the liabilities at $45,000. It is the hope of the receivers, it was said, to continue the business as a going concern. It was one of the allegations of the petitioning stockholders that enough money to maintain the business safely could not be obtained. The receiver has not announced any change as impending in the management of the business and a representative of the receiver said it was the intention to continue the Susiness along the same lines as at present so far as practicable. The firmi was formerly a partnership between J. E. Crayton and John W. Todd. It has been incorporated within the last year. VOLLEY BALL AT COLUMBIA PLANT Noon-Hour Recreation at Bridgeport Wins Favor of Employes Bridgeport, Conn., November 4. — Under the leadership of Mrs. Julia Dungan, recreation programs are arranged for the young men and women of the Columbia Graphophone Co. During the sunny noon hours volley ball is most popular sport and brings into play the bigger muscles. Many of the young women, who are highly paid specialists, work through the day with the delicate micrometers, finely adjusted microscopes. They wind coils which takes the speed and exactness and cut the sapphire points which must be so perfect. In contrast the noon hour games arouse the greatest enthusiasm. Volley ball is played with the heavy sphere just a little lighter than the medicine ball and it is batted with the hands over the tennis net fastened over the heads of the contestants. Among those who are participating in the games, which are to be increased when new courts are added, are Miss Elizabeth Yates, Miss Polly Walker, Miss Harriet Munzer, Miss Ada Reid, Miss Mary Guerin, Miss Bertha Creevey, Miss Viola Luccarelli, Miss Alice Renstram, Miss Annie Pistey, Miss Gussie Meyers, Miss Pauline Creevey, Miss Doris Matthews, Miss Eleanor Baltovitch, Miss Mary Vidol and Miss Elizabeth Traill.
