<br />any such investments or other investments for my use and benefit as
<br />he may think fit.
<br />10. To Vote at Stockholders' Meetings, Execute Proxies, and
<br />Otherwise Substitute for Owner. To vote at the meetings of
<br />stockholders or other meetings of any corporation or company, or
<br />otherwise to act as my attorney or proxy, with power of
<br />substitution, in respect of any stocks, shares, bonds, debentures,
<br />or other evidences of ownership, or securities, now or hereafter
<br />held by me and issued by or on account of said corporation or

<br />11. To Execute Deeds, Bills,,_ Not!1a and Similar Instrument.
<br />For all or any of the purposes herein stated to enter into and
