ONE day last week, when in Barnes
vile, we stepped into the Office of the
Barnesville Window Glass Co., and were
allowed glance at their annual report
for last year. 1t shows that they sold
35,439 boxes of glass during the year,
and that they paid out for labor ST, 900,
which amount went back again into
trade channels. One item notably small,
was the amount of bad debts incurred
less than $50, showing remarkable good
luck and management together, consid-
ering the times. We doubt if another
manufacturing establishment in Ohio,
doing as extensive business, will show
such small per cent. of losses from bad

financial straits, and that the works will
be In shape to start up as soon as the
labor troubles environing the glass busi-

of new stock at $25 per share. which
nets the company $4,000. With this

crops give signs of bountiful harvest.
