FUTURE SECURE.

FUTURE SECURE.
at Is much safer to he an historian
than phophct, yet ! think II safe to
predict that the future of the company
Is as secure and on more lasting and
permanent foundation than II has been
for some years. This conclusion is
formed, not merely from having se-
cured the ownership of the properties
OF those who had acquired n large
tradc-at great sacrifice of capital-but
from the firm hold we have on the
trade by our exact knowledge that no
competitor in the world can successful-
ly compete with us in the quality and
cheapncss of our product, of which
fact we are more firmly convinced than
ever, after finding out the cost of
matches as produced by the several
factories we have purchased. This
condition Is accenuated by the pres
ent conditions of trade in the country.
The writer cannot remember in his
many years of business experience.
such renewal of business prosperity,
and one that seems to have more
lasting basis, barring few war clouds.
The whole world seems to be in state
of great commercial activity, and no
country seems to have so good u basis
for development at home, or commerce
with all the rest of the world, as we
have, right here in the United States.
ADVANCE IN PRICES.
"This condition has caused sharp
advance in prices of many of the artl-
cles that enter into tn emanufacture of
matches. Your Directors have in a
large measure forecasted events and
anticipated the wants. of the company
FOR several years in advance by con-
tracing for many of the articles enter
ing into the manufacture of matches at
prices prevailing two years ago This
must of necessity help augment our
profits in the future.
LUMBER SUPPLY.
"Thc lumber business. which forms
so large a part of our business, is now
in most excellent shape. Your man
agcment, in opposition to some severe
criticism on this branch of our busi-
ness have taken on an unusual amount
of both standing pine and logs, within
the year, out of which great profit
could already be realized.
white Pine, out of which matches are
mostly made, in this country at least,
is rapidly disappearing, and i'm our
opinion will never again fall to so low
a price as prevailed when our present
supply was bought. The item of lum-
her is one of the most important in
our business. We have plants
for its preparation in Michigan, Wis
