manager of the company.
A report of the company's earn
ings since its recent reorganization
was read and proved satisfactory. In
TACT it was a revelation to the stock
holders to learn that within so short
a comparative time that the COM

and that the earnings were above
the average expectation.
The Peerless Products Company
recently purchased the Peerless Oys-
ter Company, principally owned by
the Torsch Bros, interests of Balti-

built the plant in Bay St. Louis. Mr..

sometime back, and it was subse-
quently decided to dispose of the
plant. Local interests, headed by
Messrs. Firsching and Ahrons, decid-
ed to purchase the plant and keep it
for Bay st. Louis. The plant has
always been a money-maker and the
proposition to buy was an attractive
one.

principal products, as in the past,
and instead of only operating few
months out of the year, it is now
proposed to operate all the year

posed, and arrangements perfected,
