Assets Realization Company

Qucstion-As l am thinking of buying
shares of the Assets Realty Company, which
are around $685. would appreciate all the
information you can give Of this COM
pany.--H. W.
Answer-The Assets Realization Com
pany (not Realty Company was formed
to take over the affairs of companies
which had failed for the purpose Of
liqudating their assets; also to under
take the rehabilitation of weak corpo
rations in need of financial assistance.
The company is now in process Of
liquidation. During 1918 the company
reduced the amount of notets and ac-
counts payable $34s,837. In 1915 the
common capital stock was reduced from
s9,990,0oo to $999,0oo by reduction of
the par value from $100 to $40. This in
no way affects the liquidating value
of the shares, however. The profit and
lass deficit on December 81, 1918, was
$97O,875. The company is said to have
some valuable rights in the oil fields
of Texas. A committee has been work
ing on the matter and is expected to
make report soon. The stock, in our
opinion, is pure speculation.
