REGRET
At Moving of Gross
Residence.
The Lot Is Very UnsishtIy at
Present.

Many regrets on account of the NOV
ing of the handsome residence, built
by Mr.. John Gross, mt the corner of EX-
change and High sts., are heard from
passersby who notice the change for
the first time.
The building, which was removed
to make room for the new music hall,
which is to be erected on that corner,
was taken one block north, to the cor
ner of Buchtel ave. and High st. 1t
was much admired in its former posi-
tion, and the present state Of the lot
in which it stood, with foundation
stones and excavations lttering the
ground, contrasts unpleasantly in the
eyes of many with the former we'll
kept lawn and perfectly appointed es-
tablishment which occupied the cor
lier. The project of building the hall is
progressing rapidly and those who
know, say that it will soon occupy the
ground Oh which room for it has been
made, and the corner will be hand
somer than before.

THE FUTURE MANAGEMENT.
AS TO the future management, Mr..
Bryant said he would continue to be
the chairman, and all his colleagues
would retain their seats, and they
would add to the Board four gentle
men who were now actively engaged
in the Liverpool company. His forty
years experience of this business, and
his intimate knowledge of the changes
which had taken place during this
long period, would, he felt sure, re.
ceive at the hands of the shareholders
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-07-26

equal to theirs. We have not taken it
from Bryant d May, but by the ad-
vahtages we have had in our ma
chinery, and by your administration
and the help that has been educated
to handle our machinery; we have Sc
cured trade that has come largely
from the foreigner. OF course. in doing
this, prices Of matches have been
brought down somewhat closer to the
poorer article which was imported.
Now we find ourselves in position
having run the foreigners out of the
market, so to speak, strongly ent
trenched on both sides for a battle
with each other. 1t is to avoid this
battle and to strengthen our positions
that this combination has been brought
about. AS to the fairness of the deal,
which has been criticised by the pa
pers, it seems to me that is u matter
solely for the stockholders. When you
take into consideration that the Bry-
ant & May Company are receiving n
basic security at least so far as theil
own assets and ours give it to them
and that the percentage allotted to the
Preference Shares is equal to their full
earnings of last year, which they re-
ceive in perpetuity, you will see they
are well cared for. On our part, we
are taking the chances If there are
any, of contesting the battle with the
foreigner and other competitors fol
our profits. think the fairness of the
deal has been well thought out OIL
both sides, and | wish to add every
point has been fairly considered by thu
negotiators on the part Of Bryant
May, and we have tried, on our part, t.
consider every advantage they have
and believe it is a mutually advan
| tageous trade for all"

What Bryant & May Said.

that their security would be materially
strengthened by the addition to their
own very valuable assets of all the
properties and assets of the Diamond
Co., of Liverpool, it would be realized
how much improved their position
would be. Shareholders would be
eager to know more about the actual
properties and assets they would ac-
quire. The balance-sheet of the Dia-
mond Co. to the Both of June last was
before him, and he gathered that the
book value Of what he might call thSir
quick assets-stock, book debts, invest
ments, premises, plant and machinery
was between 100000 and f250,O00.
In this figure he did not include the
valuable items of patent rights, good
will and trade marks, which We're re-
garded by the present owners as of
The value Of 100000. 1t was proposed
to pay for these assets in deferred
dend until very large profit had been
earned. 1t might appear that 100000
was a large sum, but it was defer
red stock, and would not affect the
interests of the present Bryant and
May shareholders in the least. The
factory at Liverpool was excellently
built and capable of producing eco
/ nomlcally IA very large quantity of
matches, both wooden and wax. The
buildings were fitted with most
modern works and the lat
est machinery; indeed, no expense
had been spared In their equipment,
! and they would certainly prove a val

cept OH the score of competition it is

and the competition cara was of course

terday's meeting. Mr.. Bryant the
chairman, appeared quite overwhelm-
ed at the thought of this competition,
although six months ago he scarcely
referred to It,; and Mr.. Barber, the
chairman of the American Diamond
Match Company, and director of the
Liverpool concern, played the game of
bluff in n long and discursive speech
designed to show how superior to the
rest of the world were the methods
of his company and how futile must
be the efforts of its competitors. Mr..
Barber, indeed, went IA little too far,
and the conclusion of his speech left
one wondering why his company should
deem It worth while to offer even the
present terms to so impOtent a rival.
Another point which came out Is that
Mr.. Bryant is to be chairman of the
amalgamated company and that he
and his colleagues on the present board
will retain their big remuneration of
$4,000. 1t is quite evident, therefore,
that the Directors of Bryant & May
have been careful to safeguard their
own interests in the matter. although
they are imposing sacrifice upon
their shareholders. They are retaining
| their full fees and offices, while saving
themselves from the trouble and anx-
| iety of fighting competition. AS the
result of the poll taken after the meet
ing was, however, greatly in favor of
the scheme, there is no more to be said
in the matter, though we cannot help
thinking that if little more backbone
had been put into resistance to the
Diamond Match Co.. better terms could
have been obtained. The only thing
left now is to wish the amalgamated
success. IF rumor be correct. how
ever, the American interests which are
concerned In the present deal have
much wider ambitions and it Is not
impossible that big match monopoly
may be one OF the novelties of the
not distant future.
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-07-26

Mr.. Wilberforce Bryant presided at
the meeting. The London Financial
Times quotes him as saying that the
Diamond Co. had machinery by which
It was enabled to make matches cheap
er than Bryant and May could do and
two courses remained for the latter's
shareholders, either to meet competl-
ton by cutting rates or to amalga-
mate. He then told as follows:
HOW THE SCHEME WORKS OUT.
The capital of Bryant and May was
100000, in E5 shares. That Of the
Diamond Match Co., of Liverpool, was
f5SO,000. in 100000 6 per cent prefer
ence and 100000 ordinary shares. 1t
was proposed to give the Diamond
Co. $4,000 Bryant and May shares,
which, with the 100000 already issued,
would be converted into preference
shares, and be entitled to a cumula-
tive dividend of IA per cent, and 4OO,-
600 deferred shares, which would be
entitled to the profits which might be
made after the f67 200 year required
to pay the dividend of ID per cent on
the preference shares, and after prop
er provision had been made for depre-
ciation and reserves. Thus $4,000 a
year, out of the first ES7,000 earned
would come to the present share
holders of Bryant and May, and that
was just the amount Of profits earn
ed by the company during last year
What he wanted thoroughly under
stood was that the preferential divi-
dend of IA per cent was secured by
the proposal, and when they reflected

Editorially, the London Financial
Times speaks as follows of the con
solidation just accomplished by the
Diamond and Bryant & May people:
The Bryant & May meeting yester-
day afforded an effective illustration
of the want of cohesion and initiative
which so often prevails among share.
holders. A good many questions were
put hostile to the proposed amalgama-
ton with the Diamond Match Com
pany, and the sense of the meeting
appeared to be against it, although the
vote on the show of hands declared to
be tie But the questions were des-
ultory aud not always to the point,
and the dissentient shareholders pos
sessed no speaker able to put their case
forcibly and tersely. 1t was evident.
too, that the short notice given to the
shareholders and the imperfect nature
of the information vouchsafed to them
by the directors prior TO the meeting
had left some of them with rather
rudimentary idea of the deal that they
were to decide upon. Mr.. w. Bry'
ant, the chairman, who presided added
comparatively little in his opening
speech to the slender stock of informa
tion on the subject of negotiations
which is already public property. Un
der a cross-f fire of questions, however
he became Il little more Communica
| tive, and it transpired that the net
