Gn—Miss Carolyn Peters, the popular young daiigtv- tcr of Mr. and Mrs. Will/IVterg, of this city has ntsde a record for herself that will Stand for some time.

"One way for a company to bmv a proper consideration of the welfare of Its empolye* is un doubtedly to cnrnurags employes •n save ill a reasonable nnd sys- ‘emnt e way, "We desire to do everything pos- to give opportunity nnd en- courngement for provision hy each v f our employes against the pro- v« rldal *raln day*, nnd If. fortunate ly. there come no rainy /days, then for the inevitable ‘sunset day* ot his I fr.” How Plan Wcrka The way* nnd means of the plan •*vldo that: An employe invontn In the preferred stock of the com pany on the Installment plan ac- In Installment* deducted from the emidoxr’tt salary monthly. The price Is arrived at in the following manner: An illlthil al lotment price made to the employes In $103. This Is less than what the company pay* for It.

In which he pays for the Hock, Is credited with seven quar terly dividends of 11.50 each and two yearly allowance* l»y the Com pany of $4 each, making Si. Against th’s reduction Is charge*’ * per rent Interest on the unpaid balance, aggregating 95.47. Tills amounts to a reduction of 913.03 the stock, bringing the cost To i at the end'of two years to 1X9.97. It is interesting to note that f >r the three following years after the payment of this stock. ui»on fire- -ntnfion of an employe’s certifi cate to the Treasurer of the - Com pany, an additional 94 per year Is allowed the emirfoyc. Of this fact the Company makes no mention In Its statement of stock co*t is an employe mur* under the plar pay for this stock in two years. Real- !v though, the actual cost to t • mploye Is $12 less than tl Claimed by the Company nlwu prov ded he holds the stock I three yesrs more. An additional Inducement to encourage saving Fortified Incomes The practical working out i this 'nvestment I* well illustrated by two classes of employes.

If lb company continues the offer con Mcutlvrly and an employe avail himself of It cnnsecutievlyl fo twenty allotments, he will In th- end have laid aside 40 share* o preferred stock. The Income from this stock will have amounted 92.772. The total value of this slock at par nnd the Income there on will amount to 90,772. On the other hnnd. If th© $2,772 Income is reinvested in preferred stock, and the income from such additional Investment has, likewise pn reinvested—that Is. by a sort compound Interest program—the ploye, after 20 allotments have acquired 40 shares In nddl- to hls original purchase of 40 >*, glying him a total of 80 shares wned. from wlt'ch he will wive an annual Income,at $6 a share of 94X0 per year. The Americtin Tobacco Company plan not only makes It easy to save »ut give* a man, an employe, a ock-ribbed program from the ilitndpoint of security, enhanced by the fnrt that he Is given tin ad vantageous purchase at the begin ning.
