American Graphophone.

At the. annual meeting of the stock

Company held at Bridgeport. Conn, re-
tiring directors were reelected.
Orders for some time past have been
exceeding production. necessitating ad-
ditions to the plant. A fve-story bullr-
ing. 300x75 feet, has just been COM
pleted.
President Dodge. in his remarks to
stockholders, said that while earnings
are showing gratifying increases. 1t
was his opinion as we'll as that of
majority of the other directors that
the surplus earnings should be devoted
to placing the company in an fmpreg-
nable financial position, rather than to
payment of extra or increased divi-
dends at this time.
Annual dividends of per cent. on
both common and preferred, which
share equally in dividends after per
cent has been paid on both, are now
being paid, and it was believed that
regular payments might be increased
or an extra dividend declared.
