Industrial Plant Expansion

The industrial plant expansion, as
whole, in the United States during the
war did not proceed at more than .
normal peace-time rate. according TO
statement made by the National Bank
OF Commerce in the April issue OF J"
magazine, Commerce Monthly"
"From the beginning of the war IN
Europe until April, 1917" the statement
continues, "it seems probable that &C.
tual physical plant expansion in th's
country was proceeding at an abnormal
rate in many lines, but from the mo
ment of our entry into the conflict, pc
cause of the withdrawal of men info
camps. general expansion was retardeos
expansion henceforth being directec
into those lines necessary for war per'
poses, while other industries were cor
respondingly retarded"

Phillips Petroleum

Qucstion--Will you kindly give me in
formation in regard to Phillips Petroleum. a
Curb stock selling at A. l notice this
company declared 100 per cent stock dividend
short time ago. vet did not see any ref
ercnce to it in any Of the papers The last
Of 1919 it sold as high as IS or g. I would
ike to know who is behind the stock and
whether or not it has a par value Would
you think it good speculation at the pres
ent price?-W. +. r.
Answer - The Phillips Petroleum
Company has large properties, 900
wells, producing about 5000 barrels a
day. There is no par value to the
stock. The earnings for 1919 equaled
1888 a share, after depreciation and
taxes. President Phillips stated that
the earnings for the last half of the
year were nearly double those for the
first half, and a greater increase is in
evidence so far this year Heavy cx-
penditures were made during the latter
half of 1919, from which earnings are
now being more fully reflected. Share
holders were given one share for each
share owned short time ago M. M.
Doan. formerly of the Gulf Oil Cor
poration. recently was elected vice
president. The, directors are men Of
good standing. While we would not at
tempt to say what the results for 1920
will be, it is apparent that this COM
pany is one which probably offers pos
slbllltles in the way Of speculation.
