RANT €0, 10 LET PUBLIC BUY STOCK Store Chain Will Allow Out- siders to Acquire Interest The W. T. Grant Co., a chain of over 100 25c, 50c and $1 department stores, has an- nounced a plan for the reorganiza- tion of the company, which pro- vides for the redemption on April 1 of the 8 per cent preferred stock cf the company at $110 per share. A new company called the W. T. Grant Co. has been organized in Delaware with a capitalization of 650,000 no par value shares which will acquire all or the greater part of the stock of the W. T. Grant Co. of Massachusetts: It 1s proposed that 450,000 shares of stock in the new com- pany will be issued to acquire all of the common stock of the Massa- chusetts company, all of which is held by those active in the man- agement of the company. The holders of the preferred stock of record February 1927, have been offered the opportunity to exchange their preferred stoclk for the common stock in the new company, on the basis of two and one-half shares of new common stock for each share of preferred stock. Such common shares as have been set aside to retire the preferred stock and are not ex- changed by the preferred stock- holders may later be offered to the public. This offer to the preferred stock- holders is the first opportunity for persons outside the management of the company to purchase com- mon stock of the company. It is anticlpated that a dividend rate of $1 per share per annum will be inaugurated on the new shares beginning July 1, 1927. W. B. Boewe, the manager of the W. T. Grant Co. store in this ©city, advises that in the year ended January 31, 1927, sales for the en- tire company were over $36,000,000 and profits were the largest in the operating history of the company. During the | past year 85 new stores were opened.
