<p>1. Foreign Corporations—Service of Summons.</p> <p>A Pennsylvania corporation whose plant and principal place of business were in that state also maintained an office in New York while engaged in active business. It sold its plant and business and gave up its New York office, but the business of settling up its affairs was principally conducted thereafter at the office of a banking firm in New York, of which its president and vice president were members, and where its bank account was kept. Held, that service of summons in an action against the corporation in New York, made on such officers at their New York office, was valid, under Code Oiv. Proc. N. Y. § 432.</p>
