Adelson 266 shares of the capital stock of this corporation of the par value of $100 each upon payment of $10,000 in cash and the execution and delivery to the corporation of his collateral note for the balance of $16,600 payable on demand and the endorsement in blank and delivery of said certificate of stock to the corporation as collateral security for said note; to issue to Charles Morrison, president, 354 shares of the capital stock of this corporation of the par value of $100 each upon payment of $2,000 in cash and the execution and delivery to the corporation of his collateral note for the balance of $33,400 payable on demand and the endorsement in blank and the delivery of said certificate of stock to the corporation as collateral security for said note.
*4183 Pursuant to the foregoing resolution the petitioner on or about March 5, 1921, issued 200 shares of its capital stock to Lyle Morrison, 200 shares to Sam Morrison, 266 shares to Fred W. Adelson, and 354 shares to Charles Morrison, and received therefor, as required by said resolution, cash in the amount of $27,000 and notes for $75,000 payable on demand and secured by the stock issued. Interest was paid on the notes yearly and they were paid in full of principal and *166 interest on January 25, 1927. The makers of the notes were solvent and the notes were worth their face value. They should be included in the petitioner's invested capital.
