Electric Storage Battery Dividend

There was great deal of speculation
in local market circles yesterday as tc
the real intent Of the reading Of the
Electric Storage Battery dividend. The
notice read that regular quarterly diVi
dcnds of 3 per cont. on both the com
mon and preferred would be paid out OI
the accumulated surplus earnings. The
question arose whether this meant tn,
company WAS not earning the II pei
cent dividend rate hut was digging into
the surplus. Others contcnded that at
dividends were necessarily paid out OF
accumulated surplus earnings.

MANUFACTURERS =,
SEEK LOW COST
IMPROVE QUALITY

How are the reductions in automo-
bile prices being brought about?
With prices in many industries un-
dergoing treatment such as that sus-
tanned by the historic undershirt
whose owner protested that his mother
did not use wool soap, it is interesting
to learn just how the shrinking pro-
cess is carried out.
In the main, according to leading
manufacturers, the reductions are pos
sible because of lower costs of raw
material and lower labor costs. At the
same time, there is renewed activ-
ity among motor manufacturers and
their engineering staffs to work out
new construction principles which will
permit of even greater simplicity in
the modern motor car.
The Willys-Overland Company, man
ufacturers of the Willys-Knight mot
or car are among those manufacture
ers who are not forced to desperate
efforts toward simplicity of design.
The Willys-Knight car is motored
with the famous sleeve-valve motor
which, although of American design
won first recognition in the famous
Minerva, Panhard and Daimler cars O.
Europe.
