The following oxtracts are taken from the Chairman's statement at the last annual Shareholders Meeting, February 29th, 1932.

"We feel that the Debenture holder from an Investment standpoint, is just as much an interested partner of the Company as the Common Share- holder 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

cent.

"The most successful concerns of the future will be those who recognize this principle-that even banks will allocate to depasitors a part of profits. earned on their money over and above current rates of interests. As our balance sheets show quite plainly the proceeds from the sale of our deben-

tures is not used for the purchase of Real Estate, as wo 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 An claim on the total assets of the Company. analysis of the figures involved shows that every debenture has behind it assets equal to three times its value.

"If after careful consideration of actual facts and figures you are recieving less than 8 % upon your investments andjor savings, you are not using judgment but following old customs, believing 5% and 6% are current rates,"
