Let us see about that The original Capitalization

ital ever invested.
This raised to $4,349 900 by stock dividend .
that ls the company earned $2599,900 which it kept
in the business and issued stock instead to the share
ing anything for it. So all they have invested of out
side capital is 81 ,750, 900
For this original investment they have paid back
to shareholders $29 100000 about $3.50 for each
dollar they put in.
In 1916 they paid shareholders 400 per cent upon
their original investment.
In 1917 they paid 400 per cent upon that invest
ment.
In 1918 they paid them 225 per cent upon that in

In 1919 they paid them $50 per cent upon that in
