pany TO disburse the s52,000,000
profits o, last year instead of rein
vesting IL in the business.
Mr. Klingensmith said that the
$4,000, 600 incidentally had already
petered down TO a mere $4,000, 900.
Part OF this money was spent for
equipment for the proposed In
creased factory and a part OF IL
went out because expenses exceed
ed earnings during part OF the
period that has elapsed since the
financial report was made. This
was due 10 the fact that the chang
ing OF the model OF the car caused
a much smaller production and also
because the plant was closed for a
week for inventory. During this
time thousands Of men were az
work, bu; they were not producing
cars
