Elliott Annual Report Reflects Progress Another satisfactory year of continued growth and progress was reflected in the Annual Report for the year of 1952, recently mailed to all shareholders. The following excerpts from the letter by Grant B. Shipley, chairman of the board, may be of interest to our friends and customers: "On May 13, 1952, the sale was com pleted of 120,000 shares of five per cent cumulative second preferred stock which provided $5,655,705 of additional working capital after deducting underwriting com missions and expenses connected with the issue. This new capital was obtained (1) to continue the program in which Elliott Company has been engaged for several years of modernizing and expanding production facilities in order to increase production to meet demand, to broaden the range of its products, and to reduce costs and improve quality, and (2) to provide additional work ing capital. "The Company now has more share holders than employees. At the end of 1952, there were 5158 shareholders compared with 3089 at the end of 1951. These share holders reside in 47 states of the United States and seven foreign countries. There were 3134 shareholders who owned less than 100 shares on December 31, 1952.'* POWEBFAX. SPRING 19S3
