N. Y. Airbrake Earnings
Back on a Prev ar Basis
Company's Report for 1919
Shows Smallest Profits for
ANY Nea; Since 1912

The New York Air Brake Company in
1919, the first post-armistice year,
showed the smallest net earnings since
1912, and the gross sales were approx
imately one-third of those made in
1913. The company earned 1924
share on its common stock, compared
with $20.53 in 1918. The earnings were
1916 share less than the dividends
paid on the common stock.
c. A. Starbuck, in explaining the
shrnkage of business to stockholders
IN his annual report made public yes
terday, traced the slackness TO the
failure Of the railroad administration
to buy equipment. The policy of the
railroad administration he said, due
to the uncertainty of its tenure OF Of
hce, has been to keep all purchases at
the lowest possible point and the e.
fect of such policy is reflected in the
reduction of the gross sales OF the
company for the last year.
Mr. Starbuck called attention to the
tact that the contracts with the United
states government have only been par
italy adjusted, but added that the mat
Oer IS now In process, and 1t Is eNpecteu
that full and complete adjustment Will
be made within the next few months.
Gross sales in 1919 amounted to $5.-
ool .667. compared with sl0,5So5S4 in
1918, and manufacturing profits were
S141,160, against SO 243 267 the prey'-
Gus year. The gross profit, including
income from investments and partial
adjustment of government contracts
was Sl,655,O03, which was reduced BY
deducting administration expenses ana
taxes and interest payment to s624.-
2s9, compared with S2,O52, ,553 in 1918.
Inc total surplus in 1919 was s6.O5a;-
loI, compared with ,667 in 1913.
At the end of last year the inventory
was placed at $5,937,763; expenditures
Tor the account of government con-
tracts at $3.61O,5S2; and factories
patents, water power, land and machih.

DESIRABLE HENS TO RETAIN
We'll BE Observation-Disclosures 10
Very important.

The average farmer might find Il
desirable to increase the size of the
flock Of hens. While most farmers
have little time to devote to poultry
raising, yet their families may attend
to the fowls and see that they are well
cared for and protected.
The usual advice to poultry raisers
to begin with few hens is sound. But
on most farms the women and girls
have had the responsibility Of the flock
for years and most of them could we'll
afford to increase the number Of lay.
ing hens.
Range is very important for poultry.
But range alone is not enough. The
fowls must have feed and shelter when
they need them.
When one is about to increase the
number of hens it is well to see that,
those kept are worth keeping. Poor
hens are not an asset; they are gen.
orally a liability.
