    • New York Times, Nov. 25, 1888, Page 3:

      FAILURES IN BUSINESS:
      PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 24 --- The firm of William Larzelere & Sons, wholesale dealers in foreign fruits and fancy groceries, made an assignment today to Nicholas K.(sic) Larzelere of Norristown. The liabilities are between $50,000 and $60,000. The assignment is made for the benefit of all creditors. The firm consists of William Larzelere, William Larzelere, Jr., and Alfred (kwl note - I believe this to actually be 'Clifford') Larzelere. They began business about 15 years ago at 236 North Delaware avenue, under the present name. The firm prospered from the start, and the business increased to such an extent that about four years ago they rented the premises at 330 North Delaware avenue, which they used to store their immense stock of foreign fruits and groceries. The cause of the failure is attributed to general dull business and a number of outstanding debts. The firm's nominal assets are from $75,000 to $80,000, and consist of outstanding book accounts and the stock on hand. The firm believes that some amicable arrangement can be affected with the creditors.
