The Majority Stockholder of The Standard Building Company, Inc. in 1983 was the owner of a little over 1,000 voting shares of 6% Cumulative Preferred Stock sold during The Great Depression. This rare newspaper ad is in concordance with the Secretary of State File for The Standard Building Company, Inc., which indicates that throughout the life of the corporation, after surgeon Maurice Rosenthal, MD sold his shares of common stock, James Evans and Sam Wolf owned the common stock of the corporation, about 351 shares of which 300 total were accounted for to IRS in the Estate Tax Return for the Charitable Trust of James I. Evans.

The Standard Building Company, Inc. preferred stock was sold by W.H. Rohan who sold the W.H. Simons Plat to Clarence Frank and Minnie V. Kryder to re-plat as Kryders Additions I, 2, and 3. The Kryder company enterprises occupied

The Kryder main office was located in Rm 225 Standard Building. This had been the office of Harley Somers, Treasurer of Farmer's Trust to which Clarence Frank and Minnie V. Kryder had conveyed 110+ acres of Waynedale Gardens. The Trust company was closed in 1930, while Old National Bank was ordered Liquidated by the U.S. Treasurer in Cause 3285. Farmer's Trust re-conveyed the land to the Kryders, and C.F. Kryder moved directly into Harley Somers office.
