February, 1947, after obtaining the approval of the share¬
holders, the company completed its arrangements for an $800,000
15-year 4V4% mortgage indenture loan, the proceeds of which were
used to pay for the company's plant and office building and to furnish
additional working capital.
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.
