EXPLAINING DIVIDENDS

In announcing last years earnings OF tho
American Woolen, company, Mr. William Wood,
It's president, felt called on to explain. The
N5'ooo,ooo profit does seem to call for some
sort Of an explanation In these. days when a very
ordinary suit sells for $50; and the burden un
questionably rests on the wooden company.
But President Wood makes a good prima
facie case. He says that the average profit
OF his company will not figure moro than 81
per suit-the range being from $3.50 down to
as low as ss cents per suit. The question then
Is as to the total cost OF the goods sold to the
manufacturer We can see here an opportunity
for the wooien company to exact one very ma
teriai profit as purchaser and controller OF
raw wool and another an manufacturer OF
wooien cloth Certainly It VIII not be objected
that II suit Is excessive profit
But why're does the other $40 come in7 That
