"My creditors will not allow me to take Trust for pay any more, and I will stop on the morning of June 20, '87" [the date printed in large, bold type]. Tillinghast discloses his low prices "under Ready Pay Administration," and says he'll accept in exchange "Logs, Skins and Hides...Barley, Peas, Colts, Cows and young stock, Ginseng Root, Dried Fruits, Poultry, Cotton Socks and almost anything but trust."
Evidently unrecorded.
