Powder Company Develops

Period After
HAVE PLANTS FROM
COAST TO COAST

Through the expansion and develop.
ment Of its chemical department dur
lng the last thre years the Atlas Pow
der Company has become one Of the
largest producers Of nitrate Of am
monia in the United States. This Is par
tlcularly important for the future, be-
cause while this chemical is O neces-
sary part Of certain high explosives,
Il is also one Of the chief ingredients
OF commercial fertilizers. The building
up Of this portion Of the Atlas bust
ness Is part Of the corporations pre-
paredness program to meet conditions
following the end Of the war
During 1917 the company's business
kept up at a high rate and, taking tho
declaration Of 25 per cent. on the com
mon stock as an indication, It is prob
able that earnings for the full year will
compare fayorably with those Of 1916.
The dividend rate of % per cent. was
the same as that paid last year, and
compares with II i-2 per cent. I'm 1915
8 per cent. in 1911 and 4 10 per cent.
In 1913, the corporations first year in
business. In addition there was a spe-
cal Red Cross" dividend Of 4 per cent.
paid on the common during the current
year.
The Atlas plants. which are scattered
over the country from coast to coast,
are working close TO capacity and are
likely to continue so indefinitely on
the basis Of present bookings. No
further plant expansion is contem-
plated, however. the work along this
line having been completed some
months ago.
Although the high prices ruling for
many Of the raw materials entering
into the manufacture Of Atlas products
constitute one Of the less favorable
features Of operations. involving a large
Increase in working capital, a policy OF
not making time contracts for finished
products enables the company 10 meet
changes in costs Of raw materials.
