CHINA PROVIDENT HAS
A SUCCESSFUL YEAR
Despite general trade conditions and restrictions, the China Pro- vident Loan and Mortgage Co., Ltd., enjoyed a successful year, reported the Chairman, Major S. M. Churn, at today's annual meeting. The profit was only a little over five per cent less than in 1951.
He disclosed that the company had had a "claim free" year. Plans for the future included the erection of a six-storey modern warehouse at West Point, It would be fitted with modern cargo-handling machinery and a small cold storage plant.
