CRAMPS SLICE
S10,0O0,OOO MELON
Dividend of 1869 Per Cent on
Capital Stock Ordered by
Directors.

Philadelphia, April 80 AFTER the an
nual meeting Of the shareholders of the
William Cramp d Sons Ship and Engine
building Company, yesterday, the twelve
directors who were reelected voted TO
increase the capital stock by adding
SIS, 100000. OF this amount, Sl0,000,-
900 will be distributed to stockholders in
the form of q stock dividend and the re-
mainder will be retained by the company
Tor corporation purposes as needed from
time to time.
As the affairs of the company are
still in the hands of voting trustees, their
assent undoubtedly was obtained before
action was taken by the board.
The present issue of stock is Sc, 6,09S, 900
and the stock dividend of 1000, 900 will
amount to 1869 per cent, making n juicy
melon for the shareholders, as the out
standing stock has market value of
$3.50 per share. Reckoned Mt this valua-
ton, the melon will be worth SIS, 5,000,-
600
This is the elimination of long
struggle headed by interests under the
leadership of Percy NJ Chandler, of
Chandler 4 Co, Inc, of this city. In
1915, Cramp shares were knocking about
the street around $lS share. No divi-
dend was being paid and the stock was
tied UP in voting trust formed to pro-
tect creditors who had lent the COM
pany money
The stock dividend gives an added
value to the Cramp shares. The report
shows an accumulated surplus of Sl0.-
o6S. 500. The stock dividend may be said
to have been justified, because dividends
were so long withheld from the share
holders, even when earnings might have
warranted some distribution in cash. As
the American Ship and Commerce Cor
poration owns majority of the Cramp
stock the stock dividend will put more
than S5,000,000 of additional stock in
the treasury Of the corporation whose
shares have been selling around s23 each
and ought to be worth more with this
additional stock back of them.
The Cramp Company is one of Phil
adelphias old enterprises, founded by
William Cramp, who, with his sons, all
OF whom are now dead, developed the
business on the Delaware
New York capitalists got large inter
est in the company some years ago and
the Cramps gradually retired from the
important offices. The company built
nearly all of the battlcships and cruis-
ers which won for the United States its
naval battles against Spain IN 1898.
