Allen brakes proposal TO unpin the

WAS the proycrbal last straw upon the

attempt TO use II IN bettering-rem fash

free hands and an upright position.
Therefore il was but the work OF an

| 52--Atlantic Refining

The highest priced stock on the
exchange is Atlantic Refining Com
pany common. 1t is one of the few
traded in lots smaller than 100
shares and, while not exactly active
at it's present price, there is in
creasing interest in it on account Of
the expectation that the par valur
will be reduced and some part Of
the surplus distributed as stock
dividend. The surplus is more than
twelve times the S5,ao0,000 common
stock now outstanding. The COM
-pany, formerly a Standard Oil sub
sidiary, refines crude oil and mar
kets the products, chiefly in Penn
sylvania. It was incorporated in
1870 and up to 1911 practically all
the stock was held by the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey. 1t
owns and operates refineries In
Franklin and Pittsburgh, Pa,
and in Brunswick, Ga. The last
balance sheet carried plant and
equipment of the company and it's
subsidiaries at S42, 2,o33 900. Oil land
and leases are carried at $3,2I5, 900
and investments at sl1,Ss8, 900. On
December 81, 1921, the net assets
applicable to the common stock
amounted to $6s 1922, 900, or $1.3S6.43
share. The policy of plowing
back the greater part of earnings
into property has resulted in the
building of profit and loss surplus
of $61 100000. Earnings for the
period 19l4-192i averaged 1882 per
cent year on the S5,000,0eo stock.
The first six months of 1922 pro-
