Where Was Its Office

The Question In Issue In the Circuit Court

The Toledo Ice Co. Claims its Business Office Was in Ann Arbor, Not at the Lake

Monday afternoon the time of the circuit court has been occupied with the case of the Toledo Ice Co. vs. Frank Munger. Some time in February last, 14 of the employees of the Ice Co. sued the company for their wages and obtained a judgment, the company not defending. Later one of these employees placed his judgment amounting to $13 and some cents and $9 costs in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Munger. He levied on some of the company's property to satisfy the judgment. And the present suit in replevin is brought to recover possession of the property. The contention in the matter is over the question of the location of the company's business office and who their agent i.s. The papers in the suit of the men for their wages were served on Carnsey who appears to transact the business at Whitmore Lake, but the company claims he is not their agent but that E. S. Gilmore, of this city, is their agent and the papers should have been served on him and consequently that the judgment against the company was not valid. The case is still in progress.
