STANDARD RELIANCE
MORTCACE
r CORPORATION.
' The, Standard Reliance Mortgage
Corporation of. Toronto held its annual
Meeting of eharehelders on Monday,
lVfitech 2, 1914, in the offices of the
Company at 84-88 King Street East,
• Toronto, The following report was
submitted and appreved:—
Your Directors have much pleasure
In submitting herewith the first A:t
nual Report and Statement for the,
past year accompanied by the Balance
Sheet to December 31st, 1913, show-
ing the result of the Company's oper-
ations.
The Directors are pleased to submit
the First Aanual Report and Balance
Sheet of the Corporation for the per-
iod ending 31st of December, 1913.
The Orderin-Councll approving of
the merger of the Standard Loan Com-
pany and the Reliance Loan and Sav-
ings Company of Ontario' was pearled
on the Wist day of April last, and the
actual merging took place on the first
day of May.
It will be noted that after paying
all fixed charges and expenses, in -
eluding outlays consequent upon the
amalgamation, the balance available
for distribution has been sufficient to
allow of payment of the usual divid-
ends to the Shareholders, and an ad-
dition of $100,000 to the Rederve Fund.
which now stands at $400,000.
We are pleased to be able to report
a substantial increase in tbe Deben-
tures placed by the Company, and also
In the Saybegs Accounte. By reason
of this our total Asaets now stand at
over $5,100,000, or an Increase of over
$300,000 since the merger, and the
net earnings of the Corporation are
greater by over $30,000 than the com-
bined net earnings of the two Com-
panies prior to the amalgamation
The shares held by the Corporation
In tbe Dovercourt Land, Building and
Savings Company, Limited, represent
assets consisting of real estate having
an actual value largely in extess of
the par value at which the shares are
now standing on the books.
To fill a vacancy In the Directorate
since the amalgamation, Dr, E. Jessop.
of St. Catharines, a large and influen-
tial shareholder in the Company, was
elected. 4
Since the last Ahnual Meeting of
the Standard Loan Company, now an
Integral part of the amalgamation, the
death or one of the most distinguished
Canadians, Lord Streehcona, has taken
place. We feel sure that all our share-
holders deplore the great loss which
the Dominion of Canada has sustained
by the passing of one of the most not-
able figures in the history of our coun-
try. He was, at the time of his death,
g Director of this Corporation.
We take great pleasure in bearing
testimony to the efficiency displayed
by the offitials and agents of the Cor-
poration in performing their resneo-
tive duties.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of
the Board,
(Signed) N. H. STEVENS,
President.

"His future prosperity will demand more knowledge than I had
the opportunity of acquiring in my youth. .
"Competition in his day will be much keener than it is right now,
and goodness knows it's keen enough.
I have felt the need of a university training, again and again.
His success in life will demand it.
How best insure his future?
A ten or twelve year endowment policy in The London Life In-
surance Company would make my dreams, regarding his success,
come true whether I live or die. The cost would be small -3
would never miss the annual payment.
And—The London Life makes about all the
profit a solid and safely -managed financial
concern can make."
