IS DECLARED
Salt Lake Security & Trust Company
Holds It's Regular
Meeting.

The eleventh dividend since the organi-
cation Of the company was declared at
the regular meeting on Tuesday, Deoembr
% Of the board of the Salt Lake Security
&. Trust company, 1t is payable January
/ and Is at the rate Of per cent per an
mum on the capital stock of 100000. This
is an increase Of ] per cent over all Tor
rner dividends, and in addition there re-
mains IN the treasury of the company a
surplus of 100000 besides a material sum
in undivided profits.
Considering the earnings Of the com
pany this is a comparatively small divl-
dend rate but it is the policy Of the di-
rectors to put the bulk Of the profits to
surplus accounts thus making the finan-
cial condition Of the company impregna-
bic. The success Of the company is due
TO the fact that it bases its operations on
real estate securities and its business is
almost entirely confined to this class OF
investments.
