Mail Order House Cuts Big 'Melon'
CHICAGO III.. Jan. .'10. The richest "melon"
ever cut by a Chicago corporation was served to-
day lor the common stockholders of -
by the directors of the mail order house at a
special meeting. They declared a stock dividend
of ">'» per cent- double the amount which La
Salle street has expected. It calls for the issu-
ance of $20000000 new common stock absolute-
ly free.
The melon lias a par value of $20000000.
With the stock quoted at 1 !♦ 7. its market value is
much more.
In 1911 paid a stock divi-
dend of 33 1-3 per cent. Thus within a font-
year period it has ordered the distribution of 8?»
I-:: per cent in extra dividends on its common
stock besides the cash dividends.
I*. S.—Ves this mail order house |>aid a dividend of
S;f 1-*5 per cent on its common stock within a period of four
years. Evidently an enormous nrofit is being made on their
sales. .\ow lets reason about this matter just a little. Whose
money are they using with which to |»ay those enormous
dividends on common stock? Just to be plain about the
matter if you are a patron of the mail order house you are
one of the vic tims.
