(Reprinted from Letter
OF Thomson & McKinnon.) 7

OF thomson x MckinnOn.)
We deem the present an oppor-
tune time 70 digress from our usual
practice OF commenting on the stock
market in general terms, and TO
deal, in a more specific manner.
with individual issues OF merit.
From a bewildering array Of issues,
we have selected, for the present
occasion, Studebaker Common.
We have selected this stock, not
only because 1t possesses the essen
tials Of a desirable investment, bat,
also, because il is representative Of
a class which demon strated the eff
feet Of the recent liquidation in I'M
duly depressing values; and, also,
il is representative Of an industry
which recently has suffered in pub
lie favor because the war and gov
ernmental necessities have restrain
ed the production and distribution
of passenger cars; values, there
fore, suffering in an extreme meas
ure, and far beyond justification.
The organization Of this company
Is, in many respects, similar TO
others of a like kind. There is,
however, one unique distinction
which is here worthy OF mention
o charter provision requires that
the company set apart yearly. out
OF net profits, an amount equal to
three percent Of the preferred stock,
to be used for gradual retirement
OF the preferred stock. This very
charter provision, intended for the
security Of the preferred stocA
must in the end, result in direct
benefit to the common stock, as II
means a gradual retirement Of the
preferred issue, ultimately leaving
the entire equity for the common.
Under the policy pursued by this
corporation, as shown by its finan-
cial statements, one feature stands
out prominently; that since 1911 tc
July 1, 1917, the net profits re-
naming in the business, and the
amount devoted to the purchase and
retirement Of preferred stock
amounts to $1S,3O3,961; so that,
with such profit as may be shown
during the last six months of this
year there will be an amount near

In judging Of the magnitude of a
business, in these days Of large fig
ures, the mere statement of dollars
and cents does not convey the cor
rect impression; and, we may, per-
haps, better illustrate by the follow
ing: That the profits derived from

autOmObiles), is equal TO double the
amount required for the preferred
dividend.
For purposes Of comparison, and

Local and Foreign Markets
An Analysis of Studebdker Common

has been, in all respects truly
American, comparing favorably
with the most successful institu-
tons Of our time. Prior TO the en-
try Of this company into the auto
mobile field, its business, as is well
known, was the manufacture of
horse drawn vehicles and harness.
and IL is a most significant fact that
at this time-frequentl mentioned
as the horseless period-the earn
ings Of these two original depart
ments are today sufficient 10 care
for the preferred dividend Of the
corporation; and regular orders,
now on hand, are sufficient to care
for the entire output of this branch
OF the business Of June I, 1918.
AS an indication of the remark
able growth and development Of this
company's business, we need but
cite the fact that, during the years
1915, 1915, and the first six months
of 1917, the sales of siN-cylinder
Studebaker cars exceeded those of
any other make selling at $1,100
or over.
The requirements Of our nation,
while engaged in war, have made ii
necessary for al companies engag-
ed in the manufacture and disrribu-
ton Of automobiles, to curtail their
production. In line with this policy
/ this company has recently reduced
its automobile production by 60
percent, and, under the present
plans. an output Of 10000 cars is
all that may be looked for This
| however, does not mean an idle
plant, for the manufacturing facili-
( ties will be devoted to the produc-
ton of military supplies for the
government When this branch Of
/ the business is in full operation, il
will give employment to approx
mately six thousand men. The bust
ness, then, will be adjusted to the
following basis; one-third OF the
capacity will be devoted to orders
for the government, one-third TO the
production Of automobiles and a
third to horse-drawn vehicles and
harness.
