Santa Fe's Stock
Well Distributed

That Santa Fe stock is well dis
tributed is shown by the fact that
ownership of the railroad company
is distributed to the 48 states of
the union, according to a recent
statement issued by the company.
The company has 3,565,S23 shares
of capital stock outstanding, and
it is owned by 62,933 shareholders.
Besides having shareholders in As
states, the company has owners in
the District of Columbia, the Canal
Zone, Hawaii, PHILIPPINES, Porto
Rico and 80 foreign countries. OF
the individuals owning stock, there
are 25,939 men and 30,083 women.
The largest single owner of
shares is an educational and scien-
tific institution which owns only
about three-fourths Of one per cent
of the total outstanding.
Although the company is primar-
lily a western institution, all of its
properties being located in the CEN
trail and southwestern part of the
United States, a majority of the
stockholders live elsewhere. There
are Al Santa Fe stockholders in
Arizona, and they own $40 shares
of stock.
