Sale of the Pfeiffer building at Logansport to Swift & Company of Chicago for $25,000
was approved by the Circuit court yesterday. The transaction was made by the First and City
National banks, to whom Mr. Pfeiffer assigned his assets some weeks prior to his death. The
Chicago firm also paid $2,500 additional for the furnishings and fixtures in the building and it is
understood plans to operate a poultry and produce business from the location.

PFEIFFER ESTATE SUIT HEARD IN MIAMI COURT
Evidence in the case of the United States Bank and Trust Company of this city and the
City National Bank and First National Bank of Logansport versus George F. Heinrich, a New
York egg and poultry corporation, involving the estate of Henry Pfeiffer, formerly of this city, was
introduced in the Miami county circuit court Thursday and Friday. Argument remains to be heard
before Judge Hurd Hurst. The case was taken to Peru from Logansport on a change of venue.
Pfeiffer, during his life, was engaged in buying and shipping eggs and poultry. When at
Logansport, where the family mo ved a number of years ago, Pfeiffer became obligated to the
Heinrich firm in the sum of several thousand dollars. The banks have claims against the Heinrich
corporation and are asking that their claims be first paid out of the Pfeiffer estate, while the
corporation asks that any money derived from the estate be applied on its claim.
The City National Bank of Logansport is assignee of Henry Pfeiffer.

The old knitting mill building at the junction of the two rivers and just off of Eel River avenue has
been remodeled by the two young men and made ready for the opening of their business Monday,

The poultry and produce business will be a branch of the E. Brands company that has
been in operation at Silver Lake and Wabash, Indiana, for the last 16 years. The unit in
Logansport will be handled separately from the other business and shipments made in carload lots
direct from that city. The sales department to which the sale of products handled by the Pfeiffer
