While 1t is much greater in volume. through the gradual expansion of our manufac- turing facilities, it is still short of immediate requirements, az far as orders on hand are concerned
 Therefore. the pencentage of in- crease are really significant to us only In that they positively reflect the appreciation of the public as re- gards to the merit of our product"
