HIGH COSTS CUT
RUBBER PROFITS
B. F. Goodrich Co. Has
Smaller Net, Though
Gross Increases

Although the B. F. Goodrich COM
pany, manufacturers of varied list
of rubber products, increased its gross
sales in 1916 to the extent of $685.
914. compared with those of the pre-
cedng year, net profits fell off no less
than s2,211, 500. The decrease in net
was the product of a remarkable ex-
pansion in operating expenses, which
increased s17,7S5,423, to $60,611,332.
Though the prices of the company's
products advanced, they failed to keep
pace with rapidly increasing costs.
"Not only labor and Materials said
Bertram G. Word, the president of the
company, but practically all other ex-
penses incident to the conduct Of the
business were upon a higher scale of
costs than during the previous year
A summary of the 1916 income &C
count, compared with the previous
year, follows:

Hudson & Manhattan

w. c. Fisk, in a statement to adj
justment income bondholders, says:
"The board of directors has reached
the conclusion that it is in the interest
of the company and of its security
holders that it should considerably
strengthen itself financially. -. With
this end in view, the board has had a
careful investigation and report made
by Messrs. Stone & Webster, who
strongly urge that the company build
I'D an adequate cash reserve, and this
recommendation has met with the ap-
proval of owners of large amounts OF
the company's adjustment income
bonds. e. On account of the higher
cost of labor, fuel and supplies, ex-
penses have increased; the net earn
ings have also shown a good increase,
and the weakness of the company is
the lack of an adequate cash reserve.
"For these reasons and in order to
attain an adequate cash reserve
promptly, an appropriation of $4,000
to the reserve account has been made
by the board of directors out of the
net income of the company for the
period ended December 81, 1915. This
plan, in the opinion of the directors,
if continued for time, will secure the
proper, safe and adequate maintenance,
equipment and operation of the tun-
nels, lines Of railroad and other prop
critics Of the company and preserve its
earning capacity, for which purposes
reserves may be set aside under the
provisions of the adjustment income
mortgage. As this appropriation alb
serbs the surplus earnings of the COM
pany for the period ended December
81. 1916, no distribution Of interest
upon the adjustment income bonds can
be made on April /, 1917" The in
come statement for the year ended De-
cember 81 last shows gross earnings of
s5,90S,34s, an increase of s3S3,eS2 and
net income Of s2,s77,536, an increase
of sos, 406.
