pany will furnish ample security for the
total issue of preferred stock, without TAX
ing into consideration the value Of the
patents at all, and that the working capital
will be fully sufficient to conduct the busE-
ness on an economical basis, the saving in
the interest account alone being sufficient
to pay full dividends on this issue.
