PIERCE ARROW NET
DECLINES 100000
Total Business for 1918 Gains,
Says Report, but Is Cut
by Expenses.

Despite war conditions and restric-
lions imposed on the manufacture Of
passenger automobiles, the Pierce Arrow
Motor Car Company IN 1918 was able to
better its gross sales for the preceding
year by about ~ per cent, the figures
for 1918 being S41.3B4.439. against $751;
b6B,s08 in 1917. A large part Of the
gain was, however, essentially war busi-
ness, about $26, 100000 representing that
class Of sales, according TO the annual
report Just published.
Notwithstanding the large increase In
total business, charges for operating ex-
penses, depreciation, &c, aggregated con-
siderably more in 1918 than In 1917.
Thus the net profits. after all charges.
but before Federal taxes. were reduced
to $+.273,171. decline of about $500, 900
from the $4,791.274 net earnings of 1917.
Tho net profit, after all taxes, charges,
&c. was s2.765,740. or S7.S7 a share on
the 100000 shares of common OF no par
value after the deduction OF preferred
dividends. The earnings on the COM
mon In 1917 were s11.1s a share.
Following Is comparative table Of the
results OF operations for the years 1918
and 1917. as compiled from the annual
reports for those two years:
