What Limited Nr.rx

How often is tho word 'limitedo seen after the name of many great stock companies. but how seldom does the average reader understand it's import. Formerly member of stock company doing business was responsible for tho entire indebtedness of that company should all other sources of security fail to satisfy the demands of creditors, In Scotland some years ago Il bank failed for about a million dollars. There was but ono really wealthy director of that organization mud to him only could tho creditors look for the satisfaction of their demands. He had practically to pay every cent of the loss. Such was tho law. Cases of this kind were quite common. and mon of wealth avoided connections with concerns which they could not absolutely control but in which they could so easily sink their fortunes.
 Then an amendment to the laws was made by limiting the liability of tho directors aud stockholders in concern to the amount they actually had so in- vested. The law. in order to protect those who dealt with companies of this class, made it obligatory that the word 'limited should be connected with the names of such organizations and giveu equal publicity with the company's $ title on all occasions
