record. constitute the showing made
during 1913 by the International Har-

They compare with sales of $685..

1911, as reported by the old company
Foreign sales, which are included
in the total, were $51,650,O00, or q
trifle more than in the preceding
year.
The reports cover the first fiscal
period since the voluntary separation
of the International Harvester Com

endeavor TO comply with its interpre

The statements of earnings OF the
separate companies are without com

organization figures contained in the
balance sheets. Hence 1t Is neces

Figures of the Harvester Corpora

combined show that smaller profits
were derived from larger volume o.

in 1903 for 100000, the Aultman,
Miller & Co. for 100000. in the same
year, the Minneapolis Harvester Co.
for 100000 and the Keystone Co. for
100000, Investigator Townsend re.
ported:
The manner Of these purchases and
the use made Of the property show the
purpose Of the International Harvester
Co. Each Of the purchases was made
secretly, in the name OF some Of its
directors or stockholders. who held the
stock in trust for 1t. The Osborne and
Keystone companies were both oper.
ated for some time ostensibly as in.
dependent and competing plants: the
International Harvester Co. concealed
Its ownership. Why? Was It not
because they were conscious that its
disclosure would give added testimony
Of their trust character and trust
methods?
Bear In mind that in all OF these
instances, all patent rights were &C.
quired and are still retained by the

sTEFANssoWs ARCTIC PARTY SAFE

Brief cable dispatches from st.
Michael and Nome indicate that when
Vilhjalmur Stefansson's exploring ship
Karluk was crushed In the Arctic
near Herald island, northeast of 81.
IBERIA, January 16 last, the men saved
all their instruments. supplies. dogs
and food and left only the crushed
hulk and its coal cargo when they
headed east over the ice to camp on
Wrangell island.
The experience OF the Karluk
proves that the drift of the ice sheet
from Point Barrow is not nOrtherly,
as had been supposed, but westerly.
Both Stefansson and Amundsen had
believed that ship entering the pack
at Point Barrow could be carried cross
the pole and to Greenland. Probably
the shipwrecked men passed the win
ter In comfort, having dogs to carry
them on hunting expeditions.
