CHACE INTERESTS
HOLD MUCH STOCK
Appear at International Paper Co. An
nuaI Meeting with 125,OOO Shares
of Common Issue.

The appearance of Malcolm G. Chace
of Boston at the International Paper
Co.'S annual meeting with l25,000 shares
of the common stock, owned personally
or represented by proxy, has created no
end of discussion, says the Boston
News bureau. This block of stock is
63 per cent of the entire common issue
and % per cent OF the total stock, com
mon and preferred. Unlike the maiori-
ties of industrial companies, Interna =
tional Preferred stock has voting power.
so that while the Chace interests did
not represent a majority of total vot-
ing stock. they undoubtedly boast the
largest concentrated holding.
Contrary to the assumption in some
quarters. the News bureau says. the
Chace group have no intention of at
tempting to force common dividends
They have bought into the Interna-
tional Paper for investment.
Mr. Chace and Henry l. Hartman
were largely concerned in the building
of the Connecticut river dam at Vernon
and the erection of the Fort Dummer
cotton mill in Brattleboro.
