WHY MATCHES NOW COST MORE

One reason for the increased cost
of matches is shown in the annual re-
port of the Diamond Match Company,
which earned S5,6S7, ,925 in 1917, an
increase of S1,641 ,22S over the pre-
ceding year. The management set
aside Sl,l0S,09S to meet federal war
taxes. and made larger appropriations
than in 1916 for depreciation. An
other bite of the surplus was taken
when S749.999 was set aside for pat
ents, good will, etc.
