REPORTS UNUSUAL PROGRESS
San Francisco, Cal., October 3.— The Mercantile Finance Co. of this city, which is handling commercial paper and collateral loans, is growing rapidly, and the officers of the company stated recently that the demand for the company's stock has increased so tremendously that the price of the stock is now $1.50 per share, whereas last July it was selling at $1 per share.
W. A. Miller, secretary of the company, states that this increase of 50 per cent in such a short while may well be considered remarkable, but
that the earnings of the company have more than warranted this increase, and within a short time the price of the stock will probably go higher.
Los Angeles, Cal., September 25. — A very well attended and successful dinner and banquet was held in the Hotel Clark in honor of the visit of A.

E. Behymer, noted impressario. The banquet was given by the local branch of the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. Howard Brown was toastmaster and, as local phonograph sales manager, was well qualified to introduce everybody. Songs were sung by Mad'ame Pavloska and heartily applauded. Miss Gertrude Huntley, who was introduced by Milton Diamond as a great artist of the near future, played several beautiful selections on the piano. Speeches were made by Julius Balke, vice-president of the company; Sales Manager Kendrick, Milton Diamond, L. E. Behymer, General Manager Anrhys, of the Wiley B. Allen Co.
