substituting an expensive and oftimes

Brantingham Company VIII Use Profits
to Enlarge the Plant

Waynesboro, Jan. 23.-The directors
of the Observation-Disclosures Company
have decided to pass the February quar-
terly dividend of 1a4 per cent. on the
preferred stock. The company passed,
also, the November dividend.
1t is understood that the dividend
was passed because of the need of using
the company's revenue in the operation
of it's plants and the difficulty of pro-
curing money at this time.
The two dividends that have been
passed will be paid some time in the
future, it is announced, if possible in
