By reason of this our total Assets now stand at over $5,100,000, or an increase of over $300,000 since the merger, and the net earnings of the Corporation are greater by over $30,000 than the comâ€" bined net earnings of the two Comâ€" ‘panles prior to the amailgamation 7 dussnagues A4 s cain eP verbess s The shares held by the Corporation {n the Dovercourt Land, Building and Savings Company, Limited, represent assets consisting of real estate having an actual value largely in excess of the par value at which the shares are now standing on the books.
