The board
declared the regular quarterly dividend upon its pre¬
ferred stock payable Nov.
1, 1943, to stockholders of record at the
close of business Oct. 26, 1943.
Although the regular dividend is 50
V cents
per share,
this dividend, being the first to be declared since
the recent merger, covers only the fractional period since the merger
; and,
consequently, amounts to 33 % cents.
This represents the 60th
consecutive quarterly dividend paid by this company or its subsidiaries
upon this stock as constituted from time to time, and represents the
first dividend upon
the preferred stock of the merged company.
At the same time, an initial dividend of 12% cents per share on
the common stocks of the merged company was declared payable on
Nov. 1, 1943, to stockholders of record Oct. 26, 1943.—V. 158, p. 1033.
