750 £1 Shares, fully paid, in the Perpetual Rays Co., Ltd.
April, 1914, was the very happiest month in Mr. Pipkin's whole life, and he spent most of his time smoking his pipe in his back garden, or improving his mind by contemplating the educative pictures of the local Cinema.
The months of May and June, however, did not prove quite so pleasant, and by the middle of July Mr. Pipkin actually threatened Mrs. Pipkin that unless she kept the baby quiet he would look out for another job.
And then August came round which proved to be the most miserable month of Mr. Pipkin's whole life, for Mrs. Pipkin was suddenly taken ill after consuming a liberal portion of Tinned Salmon. Never before did he realise how much he loved his Wife or what a blow to his heart her death would be. He never left her bedside and he spared no expense, but, in spite of all, Mrs. Pipkin passed away on the 19th August, 1914.
It would be idle to attempt to depict Mr. Pipkin's feelings; it is enough to say that he became a poorer but a wiser man.
On the 3rd April, 1914, a dividend for the year ending 31st January, 1914, at the rate of 71⁄2% was declared on the 200 shares in the Commercial Banking Co., Ltd., and a similar dividend was declared on the 4th April, 1915, in respect of the year ending 31st January, 1915.
On the 19th August, 1914, a final dividend at the rate of 15% per annum, free of tax, was declared on the 750 Shares in the Perpetual Rays Co., Ltd., for the half year ending 30th June, 1914. An interim dividend had been received on the 31st January, 1914, in respect of the half year ending 31st December, 1913, at the rate of 10% per annum, free of tax.
No interim dividend was paid during the Company's year ending 30th June, 1915; but on the 31st July, 1915, a dividend at the rate of 10%, free of tax, was declared in respect of the year ending 30th June, 1915.
