failure of the old-time firm of Edgerton Tennant & Co. was unusual only because it was an
honest one-the bewildered creditors receiving a hundred cents on a dollar from property not
legally involved. Edgerton had been dead for several years the failure of the firm presently
killed old Tennant who was not only old in years but also old in fashion-so obsolete in fact
were the fashions he clung to that he had used his last cent in a matter which he regarded as
involving his personal honor.
