A large percentage of the stockholders are customers and employes of the company. The stock is widely distributed, the average number of shares held being oply four per stockholder. Employes i of the company who are stockholders ' number 1.239, or 74 per cent of all the ' employes. > Sale of tlie securities began last . fall, a few months after Samuel Insult and associates assumed management of the company. In selling the. company’s securities to its custo-j mers and employes the new management followed out the customer and employe ownership plan which has proved so successful in other companies under the. same management and in other public utility companies | throughout the country. The sale was conducted by public utility employes, who were divded ■ into stock selling teams. There were many competitive contests between; these teams and the employes of the various cities served by the company. Women employes took an active part in the campaign, and the reports show that 288 women employes sold a total of 3,566 shares of the stock. During the last six weeks a special drive was made for the purpose of getting as many employes as pos-| sible to sell one or more shares dur-; ing that period, and 34 per cent of the employes participated in this whirlwind finish of the stock selling campaign.
