CAPITAL INCOME BUILDER
THIRD-QUARTER REPORT
for the nine months ended July 31, 1996
[The American Funds Group(R)]
FELLOW INVESTORS:
We are pleased to inform you that Capital Income Builder's dividend was
raised in August for the 36th consecutive quarter to 46 cents a share. Large
special dividends issued by United Kingdom utilities allowed the fund to earn
its dividend earlier than usual. This is the first time that the dividend for
this quarter has been paid in August rather than September.
This table shows CIB's dividends since the fund began operations in
mid-1987:
