All the older corporations gave to
their stock a par value, generally
500 a share, but sometimes $50 or
even less. 1t is only in comparatively
recent times that the custom of issu
ing no par value stock has come into
acceptance. 1t really makes no diff
ference which method is adopted as
far as the actual value of the interest
of the owners is concerned. To make
the matter graphic let us take a
