t' 'Of course she is sure to look

without anything on her head."
"`Yes, miss; I think' you're right,

while she brushed and arranged the -
soft, golden curls, the }paid' was
thinking to herself, shrewdly and
quietly. "It weren't no sunstroke,

She bent and kissed the dog
again, and then she turned and
walked steadily away down to that

lake's edge.
"Oh, love -oh, life!" she cried,
to herself, as she stood alone be-

"Poor Zoe, he might have spared

Nancy's lips as she rose slowly to
her feet—her face was ghastly pale,
her hands trembling.
"You—you must do something for
her," she pleaded, rather than
said, to the groom, "she cannot suf-

"I'll fetch Foster to her, miss,

'TO TRE SH A.REHOLDE1i S a
Your Dirccters beg to prose nthcrowith the annual statement of the ttfSau's and`finaneias posi-
tion of the Canada Cenierit .Oompany, Limited, as of the 31st December, 1910.
Tu prc„entin the Balance Shoat we call'attention' i-
g , to the Company's strong financial posi-
tion as disclosed by the large amount of cash on hand, and other quick assets, and the com-
paratively small amount of current liabilities. Afterrovidin for interest our Bonds and
p g on
Dividends on our Preferred Stock for the year, we have been able to set up reserves for deprecia-
tion r
, extraordinary repairs and renewals, bad debts, etc,, and carry forward a siibst:tzitial bal-
ance to Surplus Account
The consumption of cement during year ng 'the paatte
y al was not as large as "anticipated, Our busi-
ness also suffered an account of the Railways not being able taw meet our fullrequirements for ears
during the heavy shipping season; consequently. we carry over from last year 781,110 barrels of
cement.
Early in 1914 the price of our product was 'fixed ata lower price than cement , had ever
been sold for in Canada, excepting for a short period in 1949, but your Directors are pleased to
state that the anticipated savings in manufacturing and distributing our products were such that
they were able to still further reduce this price.
We trust, when you consider the above mentioned conditions, and also the fact that during
1910 our plants were only operated to 57.0 per cent. of their capacity, the profits shown will be
satisfactory to the Shareholders.
During the current year, we look for a larger natural demand, which demand will be sti-
mulated by continuing to manufacture a strictly high grade article, and by selling it at the lowest
possible price. This anticipated increase will enable us to operate our plants to better advantage
than in the past, but. we do not expect that the demand will be sufficient to enable us to put into
operation either of the two plants which have been idle since the organization of this Company.
However, it is confidently expected that the increased demand, and increased output, will result'
in further savings in the cost of manufacture and distribution, and it is the policy of your Direc-
tors to give your customers the benefit of these reductions.
The Shaeeholders'' profits will depend on the increased ~volume of • the Company's business,
the policy of the Company being the maintenance of such a stable position as will insure regular
and uniform payments of interest on its bonds and dividends on its Preferred :stock,' and at the
same time be in a position to withstand any unforeseen emergency that inay arise consequent on
business depression or otherwise, which condition. naturally necessitates the accumulation: of, and
the maintenance of, ,a
large cash reserve.
-It is also the policy of the Company to equalize the price of cement:: throughout -Canada in
so far as the physical conditions make such possible, andin further ince of this policy,,. your Di-
rectors have arranged to purchase' a, site near Winnipeg, on which they • will erect, this year, ' a-
Mill to grind clinker, which will be shipped from one of our Eastern mills. The buildings, ma-
chinery, etc:,' will be planned so that, should it at any ,time in the future be advisable, a Buu•ning
Department can be added, and the clinker produced on the property.
And further, an agreement has been entered into whereby this Company expects to :ac
ac-
quire, in thep y p
qrrear-:future, a property at Exshtawv; :which, added to our Calgary, plant, and the,
projected plant at Winnipeg, will put us in the position of anticipating : any _ extraordinary
growth in the consumption of cement in. the Great West.
With the view of ediicatin . the g e public, 'and popularizingthe use of cement in adclil,ion to
,
the ordinary advertising, the Company has published a small book illustratingsome of the many
uses to which cement may' be put, for which book there has„, O7 li-
