surance for Benefit of
Brandeis Interests,

When George Brandeis came from

Arthur D. Brandeis, then president
of the company. The contract was
for 10 years, and will expire Jam
uary I, 1928.
Since the death of Arthur D.
Brandeis, all Of the J. L. Brandeis
& Sons stock has been held by
George Brandeis, E. John Brandeis
and John L. Kennedy, as trustees
of his estate, and by f. John Bran
deis individually.
Under the management of George
Brandeis, the business has grown
beyond expectation, and T. John
Brandeis and John L. Kennedy, as
trustees and directors, have felt that
his management should continue. To
that end they have induced George
Brandeis to purchase from E. John
Brandeis a substantial interest in the
business. The trustees could not
sell the trust stock to one of their
number, and for that reason Z. John
Brandeis parted with large block
of the stock which he inherited from
his uncle, Emil Brandeis.
Prior to this time the life of
George Brandeis was insured for
81 100000. one-half being carried for
the benefit of f. John Brandeis, and
