duced-President Dodge
Hopeful.
BY I. A. FLEMING.

Mcrgenthaler's pamphlet report for
tho fiscal year ended September 80.
1929, was received this morning.
The net gain from all sources. maxi
ing allowances for depreciation and
taxes. was S2.304.771.71.
In his remarks p. T. Dodge, presi-
dent of the company, called attention
to the harmonious and pleasant un-
Outstanding between the corporation
and it's employees, and the company's
ability to give prompt and efficient
service.
The company has never discounted
Its customers notes. but retains
them in it's treasury until maturity.
Mr. Dodge accredits much of the sue
cess of the company to Its ability to
extend long credits and carry Gus
TONER'S obligations. Bills receivable
amount to more than one-half OF the
Company's capital.
The necessity for having largo
amounts of cash on hand that these
bills receivable may be carried is
probably one reason why extra distri-
button at this time was deemed i'm
possible.
Bills payable have been cut in two
nearly.
The financial statement is as fol-
