Only $350,000 Assets Left to Those Who Put Sav- ings in Scheme. Following the appointment of Pcr- - clval Wilds ns receiver In bankruptcy 'or tho Manhattan Plggly Wlggly Corporation, Mr. Wilds promptly Hied an Involuntary petition In bank ruptcy against James W. Elliott's Business Builders, Inc., of No. 14 Broadway, tho organization which promoted tho stock sales of Manhat tan Plggly Wlggly, employing young collego men and professional men with small practices as high speed fast working stock salesmen, who In duced hundreds to withdraw their bank savings to go Into tho grocery business. Mr. Wllds was associated In the petition with Ida Cohen, who claimed $1,000, and A. Johnson, who. claimed Tha Business' SuiioraCffifriw havo assets of $100,00d and liabilities of $500,000. Tho Business Builders wcro Incor porated to \finance sell stock for, hold, own and control tho stock of other corporations.\ Mr. Wllds also filed petitions against tho territorial subsidiaries of tho Manhattan Plggly Wlggly Cor poration, tho Western New York FIR gly Wlggly Corporation, tho East cm Plggly Wlggly Corporation and tho Connecticut Plggly Wis gly Corporation, asserting that tho Western Now York owed tho parent company $50,000, and had $40,000 worth of 'stock and fix tures to show for it; that tho East cm owed $40,000 and had $30,000, and tho Connecticut owed $50,000 nr.d had $40,000. Judgo A. N. Hand accepted the poll tlons and appointed Mr. Wllds ro celvor for tno three subsidiaries and the Business Builders, fixing his bond at $40,000. Tho Manhattan Plggly Wlggly was not backed by tho Plggly Wlggly chain storo system which Is working apparently profitably In tho Southern and Western States.

Tho liabilities of tho Manhattan concern was given as $1,260,000 with assets of $350,000.

Tho company did establish stores at the tlmo It advertised its stock sales nlacine them In localities where proa pects would sco them If for no \other reason\ than that no practical grocer had ever selected tho Blto. Mr. Elliott had a remarkably effect Ivo b.i1cb forco mado up of young nlcn who wcro attracted by tho hope of hecomlnc captains of Industry n few months. A demonstration of tho profits of tho Plggly Wlggly system In areas whero It was auoptcu py real grocers who knew tho trade, easily persuaded these young men that thoy wcro doing tneir acquaintances favor by \letting them In.\ They went In themselves.
