It is often misleading to compare small things with great, but without drawing any hard-and- fast inference, we may note that the Imperial Insurtone Company, of England, having a mid- up capital of 2390,003, as amassed reserves and assets anting to £2,009,000 after 14 yeurs of working, and that the Guardian, afler an existence of 70 years, bus recarves and asset totalling £4,050,000 agaiust a paid-ap opital of £1,000,000. In other words, these tiro Engleb Companies have nonmmalated assets equal to 163 artimes their paid up capital, respectively, after more than thres-quarters of a century'i operations, wherous the Japanese company has amassed a rearve 33 times as larga es its paiïl up capital in eight years, and has declared great dividends all the while.
