Great Northern stock Is now worth
about Sl75 share, by paying cash,
the employees will be enable to secure
stock worth almost double what they
will pay for II, as the increase will
hardly affect the present market value,
One provision only is made with refer

this Is to the effect that only those em'

year or less will be eligible TO purchase
