Boards of directors of the McHenry County Service Company and the McHenry County Farmers Co-Operative Association at McHenry have studied details of a merger plan and last week both approved the proposal. Next step is for the stockholders of the tw& c$fhpanies to study the proposal and to act on it. Formal notice of special meeting of shareholders of the two companies is going out at once, setting 1 p.m. Thursday, May 20, as the date for stockholders to take formal action. The meeting will be held at the McHenry County Farm Bureau building. Proxies are being sought by both managements, and under the proposal the two companies would merge into a new corporation known as McHenry FS, Inc. Issue Statement James Curran, McHenry, president of the Co-Op, and Robert Gardner, Solon Mills, president of the Service Company, in a joint statement outlined reasons why the two boards feel the merger will be beneficial to all concerned: "Financial projections indicate a substantial opportunity for improved earnings in the proposed consolidated operation.

"Both companies have surplus funds and this combined surplus will give increased protection to the investments of the shareholders." In the letter sent by the respective presidents, the plans are outlined and proxies favoring the proposal are sought. The merger would provide a company with an annual gross volume of almost $2,400,000. Under the proposal McHenry FS, Inc. would have a -niiaeman board of , directors. It would consist of the present members of the Service Company board and two persons selected from the board of Co-Op. Officers as of the effective date of the merger would be the officers of the Service Company, plus a vice-president to be selected from Co-Op.
