ate prizes awarded winners in two of
the contests, went to Mr.. Loren b. Fite

Of the companys net assets. conser-
vatively estimated, is placed at not less
than One Billion Dollars, or more
than five times the entire amount of
the preferred stock outstanding. The
market value of the outstanding COM

over $675,000.000.
DIVIDENDS on the preferred

of about $13,767,0OO. annually. The
net earnings available for such divi-
