DIVIDEND DECLARED.-A per cent dividend
OF the Citizens Insurance Company is payable on
demand.
UNITED STATES RUBBER COMPANY.-Ths
directors of the United States Rubber Company
yesterday declared the regular quarterly dividend
Of 2 per cent on the preferred stock Of the COM
pany and also a quarterly dividend Of l per cent
on the common stock. This Is the first dividend on
the common stock since 1891, when per cent was
paid The earnings Of the company. II Is known,
would have justified the resumption of dividends on
this class Of its securities many months ago. but
its vast business is conducted with conservatism
which is in striking contrast with the policy
trolling the management Of several other large in
dustiial corporations. and It's directors have at
previous dividend periods diverted the surplus earn
ings the creation Of A reserve fund which is now
believed 10 be sufficiently large TO safeguard thu
company against possibility Of embarrassment u
the future.
