BY A STOCIDHOLDER.AT THE.ANNUAL MEETING
Resolutions Numbers I and 2'2 too be proposedd by Mr. JamesFuller, which relate to verbatim. reeoeds
and summary of pro-
ceedings at annuall mectingss andd to auditors aree opposed by the ma.nagemenY.t for the followiog
reasons; ,
RE9o[.unoNNutaseR 1'c. Mn. Fullti s statement in supportt of Resolution Number I names certain
companie's whicHh he
says follow the practicee he suggests and indicates that the expense has been very small. The
managementt is advised thatt this prac-
tice is not generally followed by corporations, however,. andd the cost might.. be considerable.
This Company has over twenty-five thousand (25,000)) stockholders and if a larg4 numbec of them
requested the verbatimmport inn addition toreceivingo the sum-
mary tlree cost might be quito..largF. Had thiss practice been followed at the last two annual
meetings the record would have been
long and voluminous. The managementt doess not Eeell it is: tm the.besf ihterest of.the stockholders
to expend theiri money for suchh
apurpose, and: thereforee recomruendk thatl stockholders vote againstl Resolutiom Number 1.
Rssot,unotr NusrseR 2:. This resolution is substantially the: same as a~ resolution submitted by
Mt.. Full'er and disapproved.
aetlm last annual.meetibg held',March 9;.1943.

of the preceding years, For
years the annual statement, together with the auditors' report thereof, has been mailedd to the
stodcholders withthe Notice oftlie Annual Meeting and eachstockholder hass therefore been put in aa
position too askk questions with respectt to itjr either at' the annual meeting or otherwise.
These methods of' handling accountingg and annual sta'tementss are,, in the opiniom of the
msnagcment, in conformity with
the proceduree of the great majorityof' the large business units of the United States; the
management tlmrefore recommendss that
the present method should be. continued and that stockholderss should vote against Re.mlutiom Number
