HUGE PROFIT And
WASTE in MAKING
SHELLSFOR war

The making Of shells is a particu-
larry Important feafure' Of war orders.
One Brooklyn firm is making $4,000
per day at .s12.50, or about $50, 900
worth per day, which Is at the rate Of
$36. 900. 600 per year, II capacity orders
are maintained. says the Review OF
Reviews for January.
Scientific management experts have
demonstrated that average shells can
be made at a complete cost of $40
each. which leaves q profit of $40
per shell to any factory, achieving
maximum efficiency IL price obtained
Is $3.50. On $4,000 shells per day
this would be profit of $Sl, 900 per
day! But this is very optimistic fig-
uring. for under hectic wartime con
makers from 50 TO $40 each. Some
where in the neighborhood of $40 is
being wasted on each shell Tor $50, 600
in one factory alone each day.!
1t is altogether likely that from 20
to 80 l-3 per cent OF the money spent
