DS, signed “Thos A. Edison,” three pages on two sheets, 8.5 x 11, June 5, 1926. Minutes of a Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Edison Storage Battery Co. Charles Edison reports “the financial condition of the corporation was such as to justify at the time the declaration of the usual quarterly dividend of 1 1/4% on its outstanding Common Stock. In support of this, he stated that the balance sheet of the corporation as of March 31, 1926, showed a surplus of $2,002,997.54, and the surplus at May 31, 1926 will no doubt show an increase over this figure.” The board then resolves to pay the dividend. Signed at the conclusion by Edison, his son Charles, and five other board members including Stephen B. Mambert. In very good condition, with horizontal folds to both pages, uniform toning, some light dampstaining, one affecting middle initial of signature, and binding reinforcement to left edges.
