John G. Jay IT,, president, in his re-
port to stockholders stated that neces-
sary expansions both in buildings and
machinery have left the company with
1acIllCles IN excess OF normal require
ments and some time will be required
to make necessary adjustments for
the proper utilization Of these excess
facilities.
"Uncertainties Of business following
the armistice and the necessity for
conservatism of the company's cash
resources" Mr.. Jay said, "led to a
decision in July to discontinue com
mon dividends. Directors feel this
policy should be continued until the
company has acquired cash position
sufficiently strong to enable it to meet
any contingency. Plans for the pres
ent contemplate increased production
both in passenger cars and in trucks.
which should result in reduction az
overhead expenses and lower costs"
