BY INVESTMENT CO.
Policy of the South California In.
vestment Company Shows
Splendid Results

South California Building and In
vestment company paid its first divi-
dend November at the end of its
fourth quarter. While it could have
paid a dividend moths ago, it was
not deemed advisable by the board
of directors. They considered it a
better policy to reinvest the profits
and build stronger and bigger busi-
ness before declaring a dividend. 1t
is stated that from now on dividends
will be declared every three months
from profits actually made on homes
built and sold.
The company will start building sew
eral more homes in a few days, the
policy being to turn the money as rap
idly and safely as possible to the di-
rect interest of the stockholders.
The officers of this company have
never drawn any salary, and will not
until some future time when the COM
pany is much larger than at present.
South California Building and IN
vestment specializes upon supplying
people in moderate circumstances
with moderate homes.
Stock is at present selling at 4Oc
a share, but on December l next the
price will so to SOC, due to increased
valuation from the surplus reinvested
in the business. South California

managed by P II. Ritchey, president,

The Mean Man.

OF all unhappy women she who has
married really mean man is surely
the unhappiest. knew a girl who,
engaged to be married, never got a
present that would not come in "use-
full" afterward; even her engagement
ring was bought secondhand. l knew
the woman when she was married,
and I can safely say that l never saw
such an example OF human blight;
every year she seemed to shrivel up
more and more in body and in mind
Her whole thought seemed finally to
become centered on counting the far
things Of her housekeeping allowance,
so that she might steal q few of them
for pocket money. No condemnation
can be too strong for the mean man,
or, for that matter, the mean woman.
Meanness, Of course, is term which
only applies when the economy prac-
