SPECIAL NOTICE.

By Stephen Nelson Haskell

WHEN the Pacific S. D. A. Publishing Association was incorporated, the charter allowed only twenty-eight thousand dollars' worth of stock to be issued. As the cause advanced it soon became necessary to have a larger amount of capital stock. Accordingly, our brethren from time to time have paid their money in to the Association, and expected of course to receive their certificates of stock. But having issued the full amount that the charter allowed, this could not be legally done till those holding two-thirds of the stock had signed a petition to have the capital stock increased. This having been done and the capital stock increased to fifty thousand dollars, we are now prepared to issue stock to those who have paid for it, as well as to those who may wish to take stock in the future. But in many instances we do not know the address of the parties. We therefore request all persons who subscribed for stock, on this coast, and who have not yet received their certificates, to write at once to the SIGNS Office, stating their present address in full, the amount of stock paid for, and the time of payment, that the certificates may be forwarded to them by mail.

S. N. HASKELL, Pres.
