To accomplish this desired condition, a new Company, the Siege!l-Cooper Co, (Co-operative Stores, New York and Chicago) has been in under the laws of the State of New Jersey with a capital stock of $24,000,000.00, of which $14,250,000.00 is divided into 285,000 shares 6 per cent. cumulative Preferred Stock of $50.00 par value, and $9,750,000.00 into 195,000 Commoa Stock of $50.00 par value. The charter of the Company rovides that, after full dividends of 6 per cent. per annum have been paid on Preferred Stock, and full dividends of 3 per cent. per annum have been paid on the Common Stock, all additional di shall be apportioned and paid on the basis of j in amount on the Preferred Stock and % in amount on the Common Stock, Tocarry out the plan of Co-operation with its employees, €2,000,000.00 of the Com- mon Stock has been placed in trust, the annual dividends of which will be distributed among | such employees as have been or may hereafter be with the New York or Chicago establishment for a period of three years g their satisfac. tory continuance in the service P| the new Com- pany ; such dividends will also be continued and paid to employees for life who, after ten years of service with the new Company, become inca- | pacitated for further employment, thereby practi- cally providing a yong fund for fatuful employees in their old age.

Furthermore. it can be calculated to a certainty that with many thonsands of new stockholders exerting their personal influence toward the suc- | cess and welfare of the business, larger patronage and correspondingly greater earnings for the new Company will be assured, It is from the tages which these changed conditions afte expected to bring about, that the present owners icel confident of better pro rata remuneration on the stock which they retain, and in a measure justifies them in parting with any portion of their interests in an established and exceptionally profitable business.
