is an accurately drawn chart! showing at a glance the unique, and yet steady and sound growth; of our rent collecting department The during the last five years. actual figures showing the volume of business done and rentals collected on foreign houses during that period are: 1927-508, 1928-675, 1929- 2548. 1930-3203. 1931- 4443.

This most satisfactory increase in the volume of business handled is the natural result of the policy we have adopted in every phase of our activities. That this policy has met with the approval of our clients is

reflected not only in the increase in the volume of business! handled by our foreign houses rent collections, but to an even greater extent in the depart- ment's handling the affairs of Chinese houses rent collections.

The collection of rentals often carries with it the managment of states, and this intimate relationship with landlords makes The China Realty Company the fogical place for property owners to come when they need help in the financing of improvements: to their properties, and sound) advice in the management, sale, or buying, of properties and estates.

Another phase of our activities has to do with the investing, public, that is, the holders of our 8% debentures on which the interest is payable semi-annually. We believe that those who furnish the capital on which the company is enabled to do increased business should participate in the profits-- that the most successful concerns of the future will be those who recognize 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 sheets 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 land pledged as security but as a further security the fact that the debentures constitute a first claim on the total assets of the company...An analysis of the figures involved shows that every debenture has behind it assets equal to three times its value.

Were it not for the position of confidence gained through the consistent policy to which we have adhered, and the volume of unsolicited business which has come as a result, we could not thus complete our service by offering the man who wishes to invest in debentures an opportunity to share with us in the prosperity of our business by paying debenture interest of 8% and remember, 8% VERSUS 6% MEANS ONE THIRD MORE INCOME!
