This morning, the directors of the Plimpton Manufacturing Company met and voted to increase the capital stock from $100,000 to $125,000.
The new stock sold quickly, and by the afternoon it was selling at a premium.
Yesterday, the post office department granted Plimpton another extension on compliance with the stamped envelope contract.
The company began production of stamped envelopes today.
