its plants during the last three years and these
expenditures is principally due large increase in
production. which in turn is mainly due the
gain in earnings. Had it been possible run the
mills as. in the years preceding 1902 before the
hours of labor shortened, the production
would have been considerably larger than the
suit obtained, Also. the product of the company
has been sold 10 better advantage The statement
of assets and liabilities following will show. that.
while the company has made a large gain in
tive assets over last year, its current liabilities
have also increased, owing TO the large production
hereinbefore mentioned. The physical condition of
