PA Dunedin Debts totalling almost a quarter of a million dollars are outstanding to creditors of the Starkers Jeans Company, Ltd, of Dunedin, which is to be wound up by order of the High Court. Mr Justice Roper yesterday made an order that the company be wound up after a petition was presented by Mr R. P. Bates for the Inland Revenue Department, which is owed $3636.71. Also seeking the winding up of the company were the Christchurch clothing manufacturers Harris and Graham, Ltd, who are owed $15,603. They were represented by Mr W. Goldsmith. They were supported in their petition by a number of other manufacturers and wholesalers in various parts

of the country who are owed sums of money ranging from $BOO — owed to Christie Contracts of Wellington (Mr M. R. D. Guest) — to $26,766.80 owed to Pumperdink Fashions. Ltd. of Auckland.
