justiles the fondest hopes OF those
Wilmington flnanciers who originally
bought into" American Graphophone
Company. as the company was
lrst known and who have pre-
dicted all along despite the
effect Of the war upon the price OF the
stock that eventually n would prove
one OF the best investments or specu-
latlons obtalnable no matter from
which angle il was viewed. Whining
tonians and their friends control the
company.
Many Wilmingtonians bought IL orr
ginally when II was known as the
American Graphophone Company, about
two years ago, at prices ranging from
SIG to $50 a share. One man bought
500 shares at 1872 a share before this
country plunged into the world war.
Later the company was recognized
into the Columbia Graphophone Com
pany. and shareholders were given an
opportunity to subscribe to new stock,
in proportion to their holdings. at 500
a share and an exchange also was made
for stock Of the old company. At that
time the chares were selling for about
Si2O.
When the United States entered the
war, the market price OF the stock ma
turally declined, as II was regarded as
peace stock" without the great
speculative possibilities OF shares Of
munitions companies. The stock gradu-
ally sagged, as buying Of II ceased, TO
$50 a share. Many far-sighted investors
bought heavily OF Il at the low prices.
incidentally. the company was kepk
busy all through the war filling orders
for Grafonolas and for talking ma
