Central Petroleum was inCOrpor-

companies Two-thirds Of the COM
mon stock of the company stands in
the name of the Texas COMPANY.
Central Petroleum pfd pays divi-

annum and these are guaranteed
by the Texas Company until 1922.
The dividends are payable semi
annually on April / and oct. I in
each year cumUlatively. No div
dend can be paid on the common
stock until april so. 1923.
The position of the company can
be judged by the fact that its total
income for the last fiscal year was
S1,262,942 and the balance available
for surplus and dividend amounted
to $750,44S. The dividend paid
amounted to s505.O5S. leaving a sur

fact that the company is earning lis
