A few months later the land and buildings, located Immediately adjacent to its property to the south became available for purchase. It was the considered judgment of the directors that because of its proximity and because no other land adjoining the company's plant is available to It for expansion, It would be expedient to purchase this additional property. Consequently, the transaction was successfully consummated for the sum of $130,000, which repre¬ sented outside financing in the form of a 10-year 4lA% mortgage indenture loan of $97,400 and a cash payment of $32,600. • "This American Machine & Foundry Co.—Annual Report— Morehead Patterson, Chairman and , Over-the-Counter'Markets— 16,709,594 Co.—Earnings Rise— 4,000 —-——— Transactions New York Curb Exchange- 3162. company kwh., ——40 San Francisco Stock Exchange ——40 Montreal Stock Exchange -41 Montreal Curb Exchange..-42 Toronto Stock Exchange—.43 Toronto Stock Exchange—Curb Section .—45 — Transactions New York Stock Exchange—-28 1,073,809 American Power & Light Co.—Weekly Input— of Exchange--——-t-r—40 Louis Stock Exchange 1689. profit after Earnings v 21,718,325 '' 560,769 37 ——- Stock and Bond Averages———————-28 / „ Calendar Years— —V. < 1,977,298 /■;' 32.224 30,923 for American Metal Products Net A" 22^614 ~2>J3 1,799 - . income taxes 1,023,500 1,020,634 Scranton Exchange Exchange——37 Chicago Stock Exchange-— -—38 Cincinnati Stock Exchange—'—-38.
