COMPAN STOCK

Stock certificates of the Standard
Oil company of California have been
dispatched to 10000 employees, who,
through the operation of the com
pany's stock investment and savings
play, have acquired 4S1,976 shares of
company stock with a present market
value of about $2S, 900.
The plan was initiated by the COM
pany five years ago for the purpose
of assisting employees to become
stockholders and to encourage thrift.
Under the plan the employe was per-
mitted to apply up to 20 per cent of
his salary to the purchase of stock
The amount he specified was deduct.
ed from his salary each month. For
each dollar so deposited the company,
from it's own funds, added, as a bonus,
the sum of so cents. AS sums suf
ficient for the purchase of shares of
stock were accumulated, the company
issued the stock from it's treasury to
the trustees for account of the em-
ploye. Current dividends from this
stock were applied to stock pur-
chases.
The plan was suspended December
81 last, owing to certain conditions
arising from the consolidation of the
Standard Oil company and the Pa
cific Oil company. During it's -four

committee are A. B. Packard, A. J

the initial canvass along avenue to
obtain the necessary money.
A big and interesting program IS in
prospect for the fourth and both the

GIVE PHONY' CHECK
IN TIRE PURCHASE
New Britain Youths Forged
Names in SimSbury Deal

| After a lengthy investigation, Ser
geant Patrick J. O'Mara today ar
rested Bonnie Szewestowski aged IS
years, of Doris street on a charge of
forging a check on the Stanley Lei
kowski Co., of 50 Broad street. The
boy admitted his part in the affair
and a companion, John Raczek, will
also be apprehended and brought
into court.
Lejkowski reported some time ago
that check with the name of his
company printed on it and good on
the Commercial Trust Co., had been
! stolen from his book. He later no.
titled the police that the check had
come through the regular financial
channels endorsed by the Simsbury
Tire Co., of Simsbury. He told the
police that he could remember nc
transactions with the company nam
ed and asked that an investigation
be put through.
Sergeant O'Mara found that Sew
estowski and Raczek, in company
with friend, had stopped at the
Simsbury store and had purchased
an automobile tire for $13. They
rendered the check Of the Stanley
f.ejkowsM Co.. drawn for s4S.34, in
payment and endorsed it. The check
was accepted and the change was
given to the boys.
When confronted by the sergeant
Bonnie confessed, the police say, and
said that he wrote the name of the
company on the check and Saczek
wrote fictitious name under it for
endorsement. He said that he had
the automobile tire at his home and
Saszek had the change from the
check. He promised to produce the
tire in court and also refund the
change. He was allowed out on bonds
of 800 furnished by his father and
he and Saczek will be in police court
tomorrow morning.
