# 51 fir 1 share to John M Metz. Signed by A Schink and president Kuelp. dateline Anaheim 1864. Incorporated August 25, 1864. Steam train and steamer vignette. Also eagle and shield bottom left. Faded 25c revenue stamp. Not cancelled. Painter & Co. printer. In view of the improvements recently made in the shipping facilities of the Anaheim Lighter Company, I would beg the indulgence of a small space in your columns to briefly review the history of that Company, and to make some mention of its past, present and future action. The Anaheim Lighter Company was originated in 1864 with a capital stock of $10,000, divided into two hundred shares of $50 each....The purpose, for which the Company was originated, was in order to establish upon the co-operative system a private landing for the benefit of the proprietors of the Anaheim vineyards....Most persons, unacquainted with the expenses attendant upon this business, and with the hazards consequent upon a continuous struggle with wind and water, deem lighterage charges exorbitantly high, and consider the system one of oppression to the producer, but a careful investigation of the history of this Company will clearly demonstrate the contrary. None of the officers have ever received any remuneration whatever; the business has been managed on the most economical scale possible, and now for the first time in its existence the Company is free from debt. The shipping community is prone to complain of the high tariff of charges, but an inspection of the rates, maintained by the Company, will show that no distinction has ever been made in favor of the stock-holder against the outside producer."
