A lower rate of commission existed in 1931 due to cheap money for the greater part of the year: from September, money commenced to tighten up. As it is we earned 1.33% interest in excess of 8% paid on our Debentures, in addition to $146,825 commissions. From the above It will be seen that dur 8% Debentures are secured by first mortgages on 56.4% of value and backed up with $5.000.000 capital.
The following extracts are taken from tho Chairman's statement at the last annual Shareholder's Mooting, February 29th, 1932.
"Wo feel that the Debenture holder' from an investment standpoint, is just as much an interested partner of the Company as the Common Shareholder and is entitled to his just return on his Investment, and by the figures given on the two years' working, I think we have amply proven that we were right that our Debenture holders receive eight per cent. interest instead of six per cont."
"The most successful concerns of the future will be those who recognizo.this principle-that even banks will allocate to depositors a part of profits earned on their money over and above current rates of interest. As our balance sheats show quite plainly, the proceeds from the sale of our debentures is not used for the purchase of Real Estate. as we are not speculators, but for Investment in first class mortgages, amply secured not only by the value of the property pledged as security, but as a further security, the debentures constitute a first claim on the total assets of the Company. An analysis to the figures involved shows that every debenture has behind It assots equal to three times its value."
"If after careful consideration of actual facts and figures you are receiving less than 8 per cent, upon your Invest- ment and or savings, you are not using judgment but · following old customs, believing 5 per cent, and 6 per cent, are current rates."
