There were 71 deaths calling or including Bonus profits under 78 policies which i an Ecci Dinghy favourable ratio both As to number and amount. The income again . This Wilt is All the More pleasing when it is remembered that owing to the election of our head office Bill Dong in Toronto and the changes in our building in Winnipeg the former was and is still unproductive the latter was Only partly rent bearing for a portion of the year.

The audit has been made from month to month in the thorough prompt and satisfactory Man Ner. The auditor s report is appended to the statements. The new head office building is progressing and while the entire building cannot be finished within a year there is fair ground for the Hope that the Eastern portion will be to a sufficiently in shed state to enable the company to occupy its own offices and to hold the next annual meeting in its own building. Reference was made in the last report to the Winnipeg off Loo baud Long.

In moving the adoption of the report the chairman Eaid the statements which have just been read by the managing director and which Are now in the hands of most of you give such a full Slear and Complete exhibit o the affairs of the company in every depart ment that i think it is not a Cestary for me at the present time to detain you with any special explanations in regard to them. If any explanations arc desired with regard to any portion of the statements either myself or the managing director will be glad to Lur Ntah them. The results shown gentlemen must i think be looked upon As extremely satisfactory and i May say that they have not been attained without Earnest labor on the part of those who Are entrusted with the duties of carrying on the work of the company and especially of Many of the gentlemen whom i now tee before me. 1 think they will witness that they have been working in the face of a depression that has existed generally in commercial circles and also in the face of increased Competition on the we will majority of cigars a aborted into Canada Are made up under different brands to the ones by which the fac tories Are identified. So As to permit of Large profits and compel smokers to buy at the Sahib establishment As the majority of re tailors who handle quantities have Xicara packed under their own Brahmb so that they control the Sale of them. Enabling them to sell inferior goods at prices inconsistent with those asked for fish grades manufactured by recognized factories of known reputation. Denote Quality in All dust class Havana factories therefore it behoves Gmo kerrs to familiarize themselves with Tho different sizes made by the several factories whose goods they Purchase. By Jowett of sizes As offered to the Canadian Public arb not Standard Obs but Are made and packed to imitate them. Difference Between a Helna Victoria size in Tho or any other first class Havana Brandv and the same Mark in the majority of brands that Ore being offered a Hsu qood9. It is absurd to imagine that cigars of recon lid Suelto Abajo fac tories could be sold at prices quoted by some dealers. The District of Abajo is re cognized by All tobacco dealers to be the finest in the Island of Cuba and no other tobacco is equal in or commands As Moil a Price on the Market. We will forfeit the Sura of one thou Sand dollars to be distributed among the charitable institutions of this City and every other Oliy where this advertisement if our state mint that f seven eighths of imported Clara brought into can Ada Are not of Suelto Abajo to Bacco can be disproved. Forfeit a like sum for the Samc Pur pose if our la Cadena Brand of Clear Havana Cigar is not manufactured of Suelto Abajo tobacco. S. Davis sons the largest Cigar in Canada. Part both Home and Fortis n companies. I think therefore that in looking at Tho past we Hays even reason to feel gratified and satisfied with the results of our labor and in looking Forward we have also every reason to Hope for and have Confidence in the future Prosperity and Progress of this company. Before sitting Down i will make the motion for the adoption of the report.
