JOHN G. kennedy
SAYSPLAN is
TOBESUCCESS
Kennedy County Ranchman is
Confident Loan Bank Plan
Will Go Over
CORPUS Christi CalIer)

John G. Kennedy, president of the
Kennedy Pasture company, and one Of
the leading livestock men of Texas,
has returned from Fort Worth, where
he attended the organization meeting
of the Agricultural Livestock Fin
ance corporation.
In an interview yesterday Mr.. Ken
edy said:
II believe the organization Of this
S1,500,000 livestock corporation is
going TO be the salvation of the live
stock growers of Texas.
Briefly. the plan is as follows:
The company il chartered with a cap
ital stock Of 81 l,500.0 600. Half Of this
amount has already been subscribed
Dy the citizens of Fort Worth. Loans
will be made by this company to live
stock and agricultural interests on
approved security. All loans will
draw s per cent interest from date
and will run year, with renew
a. privilege. After these loans have
: been approved and the papers drawn,
the company will sell the loans to the
War Finance corporation. which. un-
der the Kellogg bill recently passed
by congress. has placed a billion dol
lars at the disposal Of the War Fin
Rnce corporation, to assist the agri-
cultural and livestock interests Of the
country
The nswis organized company
will therefore nave sure market for
all the loans it makes, the govern
inent taking them at a rate of per
cent. so that the company viii make
a brokerage Of per cent nall its
loans. The company viii employ the
lest livestock ard banking talent tb-
tainable TO handle its affairs. and
after making allowances for all ex-
pcnses. it would appear that the new
company is destined TO make a very
handsome profit on its capital stock,
for it was stated by Marion SAMSON,
chairman of the War Finance com
mittee for Texas. that the new com
pany probably will be able 10 redis-
count as much as $25.000.0O Of
notes. which, at brokerage Of 2 per
cent. would make a very big profit
for the company.
II have no hesitancy in saying un-
der management, which | feei sure
the Agricultural and Livestock Fin
ance corporation will secure( be-
iieve an investment in its stock 70
be- absolutely safe. and feel that it
will be a very profitable investment
as well.
II have rarely attempted TO sell
stock or recommend the purchase Of
stock, but | am glad to recommend
this. | believe il a fine opportunity
for investors and at the same time
feel that the corporation will be Of
tremendous benefit to the livestock
growers of Texas
