Director's Meeting,
Lynchburg Glass Corporation - January 24, 1925

These minutes were scanned, converted to text, and edited by Dennis Bratcher from original copies now in the Jones Memorial Library in Lynchburg, Virginia. The original minutes were typewritten. The text versions were converted to a screen font for ease of reading. As a result the exact formatting of the original has not been preserved. A scan of the original is below.

Attached to the minutes were two financial statements for the previous year ending December 31, 1924. One is the normal financial statement; the second shows the adjusted depreciations as requested by Chatham and Phenix Bank. An interesting penciled notation occurs on one of the financial statements. Where the line on the report "Profit & Loss" shows a profit of $61,591.38, the notation reads: "loss for year (43,896.09)".
