    NOTICE OF STORK DIVIDEND

    The Directors of the above Company have declared a 100 per cent STORK DIVIDEND as of 7:30 P. M. February 21, 1933, in the form of Preferred, Fully Paid, Non-Voting (excepting after 21 years) shares of a newly created subsidiar which will hereafter be known as

    JOHN AUSTIN BYRNE

    the management and control of which is vested in the parent company.

    History - The Parent Company was incorporated November 17, 1929, and has shown consistent progresss since its inception; therefore the Directors have deemed it a sound policy to declare a dividend at this time. The satisfactory position of the company is indicated by the fact that in a period of world-wide depression, it has shown marked expansion, particularly in the last three quarters.

    This new issue is offered to the public at Santa Cruz Hospital. It has shown great activity, opening strong at SEVEN, EIGHT (7' 8") F/s and giving promise of tripling that figure during the coming year. Being an infant industry, it is readily recognized as a liquid investment, and its sponsors expect it to be a howling success.

    This issue grants the parent company an exemption of $400.00 under the Federal Income Tax Law.

    Mr. Byrne served two years in the Army, working as a news writer at the Armed Forces Network. In 1962 he moved to Palo Alto and began working as a technical editor at SRI International. He remained there until his death.

    For 30 years Mr. Byrne was a member of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Menlo Park. He taught Sunday school there for several years and helped coordinate the restoration of the church's organ.
