To. the board of directors, Indepen-
dent Harvester Co., Plano, Ill.
Dear Sirs: We have examined the
books and accounts of the Indepen-
dent Harvester Co., Plano, for the
year ended Dec. 81, 1912.
The accompanying balance sheet is
prepared from the books and is in ac-
cordance Herewith, and we certify,
that, in our opinion, it correctly re-
fleets the position of the company as
at Dec. 81, 1912, subject to the quali-
flcations in regard to the r~ealizable
value of the investments, farm mort
cages and Judgments; also to the
provision OF a reserve against loss on
or cost of, collection Of farmers notes.
The physical properties. raw ma
terial, work in progress and finished
stock were appraised by the w. H.
Zimmerman Co., Chicago, and are in
cluded at their valuation.
The inventories of stock on hand at
branch houses are included at the
valuations certified by the managers.
The investments In coal and farm
lands and stocks and bonds in other
corporations are stated at cost, and
farm mortgages and judgments at
their LdC6 VdluSs VIC are uulIlIOIn6us
however, in regard to the realizable
value Of these assets.
The farmers notes for stock, which
are included at their face value, were
produced for our inspection or other
wise satisfactorily accounted for. No
provision has been made for loss on,
or cost of, collection, in regard to
which the experience of the company
is not such as to enable US to form
! any reliable opinion. We examined
the accounts and notes receivable
and verified the cash in the bank and
on hand. The development and promo
ton expenditures as at Jan. /, 1912, are
as shown by the books. The addi-
tional expenditures on this ccoun
during the current yea were examin-
ed.
Due provision has been made for all
liabilities Of which we have knowl-
edge.
