Augusta ,Ga.
Dear Madam:
The Board of Directors has appropriated for the regular
Dividend, payable in 1910, the sum of $2,876,506.83. This
sum is $272,785.81 larger than the corresponding appropria
tion for 1909. In addition to the appropriation for the reg
ular Dividend of 1910 the Directors have set aside the sum
of $675,000 for a Special Dividend payable to all participat
ing policies which were in force December 31, 1909.
The Company’s annual statement for the year 1909 now
in course of preparation will show the Company to be in a
most prosperous condition, and it is a matter of great
satisfaction to the management that after computing the
Dividends for 1910 upon an increased scale it is still in a po
sition to pay the above Special Dividend.

President.

“The present abstinence and moder

Sign the coupon if you are inter
ested in reducing the price of meat,
and send The Herald.
Sign the Coupon.
Are you willing to join the national
crusade being waged against the Beef
Trust in the effort to force it to lower
its prices? Are you willing to pa.y
more for meat than is paid in other
cities? Are you willing to give up eat
ing meat for 30 days? Thousands in
other cities have done it and the
movement is attracting world wide at
tention. The crusade is spreading like
wild fire over the country. The trust
has felt it, fear it, and already
their prices have begun to decline.
Do Augustans desire to pay more
for meat than those in her sister cit
ies? Do Augustans desire to contrib
ute to the national movement? Do
Augustans desire to help?
Concerted action will give Augusta
what other cities are getting. This,
together with the near approach of
Lent, will have the effect desired, as
many give up eating meat in Lent.
The Herald is anxious to know the
prevailing opinion and a coupon is
printed below on which they can state
their opinion, their wishes, or views
on the subject. Whether or not they
are willing to give up eating meat
for thirty days? The coupons are not
for publication, but the totals for or
against will be published in The Her
ald each day, and any pertinent com
ment will be gladly given space.
If you are Interested fill out the
coupon and mail It to the “Meat Edi
tor of The Herald.”
The local meat dealers are peculiar
ly situated in the premises. Much of
their beef is butchered in the city
and they sell at as narrow a margin
of profit as possible. The cost of feed
and butchering cattle here is higher
than It is in the west and much of
the carcass is waste, while in the pack
Ing houses, absolutely every part of
the animal is utilized.
