Excerpt from Safeguarding Stock Transfers There had been no trouble or error, and if you had said to the officers or directors of the company that they were taking too much of a risk and should employ the services of a transfer agent, quite likely they would have ridiculed the idea. Then one day a man presented for transfer the certificates for 308 shares that had been the property of one Henry Catherwood, deceased. All the certificates were assigned by the administratrix of the estate to the man presenting them, and there seemed nothing out of the way in his asking to have the old certificates cancelled and a new one issued to himself.
