In no way are the fruits of con- servative yet alert and enterprising | business . management better re. vealed than in an examination of the | annual reports of mortgage corpor- ations for the first twelve months af- ter the outbreak of the war. The annual report of the Standard Reli- | ance Mortgage Corporation, read at | the third annual meeting on Mon- | day, gives the shareholders every reason for congratulation, not only | on account of the safisfactory prog- | ress made by the Corporation, but as | an example of prudent and sound management in the face of unexam- | pled economic stress, both at home | and abroad. Corporations with | over-valued securities and cumula.- | tive liabilities made very poor show- ing in thelr reports of business since the war commenced. The Standard | Reliance Mortgage Corporation, on | the other hand, showed that conser- | vative operations in times of clear| business weather have their good re- | sults in times of stress. The amount to the credit of profit { and loss not only insured the usual | dividend to the shareholders of sev- | en per cent, but also allowed for a! considerable sum being carried for-| ward to reserve fund, thus strength- ! ening generally the corporation's position. The increase jn the amount | of debentures sold reflects the pros- | perity of the Canadian farmer, Standard Reliance Mortgage Corpor- | ation. That five per cent.
