Heavy Capitalization.
“A capitalization of $7,000,000
is proposed, divided as follows:
One million in common voting
stock, $5,000,000 in participation
certificates. This stock to be
sold while the corporation is in
formation so as to net par to the
c^rp' ration, afterwards the value
raised to such price as the direc-
tors deem advisable. When the
entire stock is sold it is believed
it will represent something like ' former
$10,000,000 cash to the treasury.
This capital, together with the
cert fieate fees, should bring the
cash capital of the corporation
up to approximately $20,000,000
or $25,000,000 with which to be-
gin business. With such a eapi
