Gentlemen:
AVc have made an examination of the books of account and
the records of the Lexington Mill & Elevator Company, the
Western Grain Company, and the Platte Grain Company for
the past seven years in order to determine the tangible value
as it concerns a going business.
As this Company has been in business for a period extend
ing over thirty years, it is very obvious that their Trade Marks
and Brands are, in themselves, a valuable asset.
In our opinion the new consolidation on a capitalization of
$475,000.00 should yield considerable profits. Our examination
developed the fact Jhat during the past seven years the net
profits of the business ranged from 23 to 60, and with the
additional capital, there is no reason why this should not be
even exceeded.
Very faithfully yours,
JOHN GRAHAME.
