Directors of the Mergenthaler limo
type Company today sent out notices OF
the adoption of a resolution oppsing the
further declaratin OF extra dividends
by the corporation.
Heretofore 1t has been the custom OF
the company to declare for the first
three-quarters OF the year its regular
dividend of $3.50 a share and an extra
dividend of 30 cents, and for the last
quarter the regular dividend and an
extra dividend of $3.50 a share. At the
last quarterly meeting the extra divi-
dend was reduced TO 50.
Much of the stock OF the Mergen-
thaler company is owned by Washing
tonians. When in November a rumor
became current that the extra dividend
was going to be eliminated for the last
quarter. the Washington shareholders
protested, and the company needed the
protest to the extent OF merely reduc-
ing the extra dividend 40 cents.
