GREAT SINGER MELON"
Stock Dividend of 100 Per Cent
Soon To Be Declared.

The biggest melon of the year is about
TO be cut by the Singer Manufacturing
Company. which has called a meeting OF
its stockholders to vote on a proposition TO
increase the capital stock from 100000
to 5000 600. This increase will be distrib-
uted as a 100 per cent stock dividend The
meeting will be held at Elizabeth, y. J., on
June 16. and 1t is foregone conclusion that
the stockholders will authorize the doubling
of the capital.
The company could. if it chose, pay a
cash dividend of $4,000, 600, as it has on
hand at the present time a surplus OF more
than that amount. The management how
ever while believing that the stockholders
should profit from the surplus earnings OF
the company, desired 10 retain this surplus
as working capital and therefore decided TO
capitalize it and distribute the stock in
stead OF the cash 10 the stockholders.
AS the present bid price for the stock is
go, the stockholders will no doubt be salts
fed to have their melon" in this form.
The proposed 100 per cent dividend is not
the largest distribution that the company
has made to its stockholders. In Decem-
ber, 1900, when the capital was increased
from 100000 TO Ss0,00c.ooo. a eo0 per cent
stock dividend was declared.
The Singer Manufacturing Company was

Of $4,000 The present company was char
tered in New Jersey in February, 1873, with
