At full speed Billy and Mig

MERIT.
Merit is a mighty force
S%pringing from, q mighty source:
Envy cannot block it's way.
Malice hos no powe: to STAY,
Like Nhe brook shat finds the sea
Merit ends triumphantly.
Merit cannot be denied.
Trampled down or turned aside; "
Foes may hinder anu decay,
Placing barriers in its way!
But like every running stream
Merit always Is supreme. =
1t will fnd' the seq OF worth
From the farthest ends OF elrt,.. /
Spring!ng from the hInlblest beast,
North or south or east or we4:.
Merit will come laundering down
To the ocean Of
Fame no question makes Of worth,
OF its humble start or birth;
AS the brook comes to the sea,
Just as surely so shall he
Who will make his merit known
Come at last into his own.

American Wooden
Shows Greater
Profits for 1921
Equivalent of S8.Ol a Share
Earned ON Common. Com
pared With S4.57 in
20; $4,000, ,648 Surplus

The American Woolen Company, in
its annual report issued to stockhold-
crs yesterday, showed net profits after
reserves for taxes and contingencies
of s9,192,62 compared with $3.50 ,259
in 1920. After charging off s3,1S5,973
for depreciation there was surplus
of 5000, ,648, equivalent after preferred
dividends to S8.o1 share earned on
the S40,00O00O outstanding common
stock, compared with S4.57 a share
earned in 1920.
The company's balance sheet as of
December 81 disclosed current assets
Of S74,4a9.5S6, against current liabili-
ties Of S11, ,502 ,297, leaving net work
ing capital of s62,947 ,2S9. Inventories
at the end of the year were valued at
$40, 1921, ,11s, compared with s43, ,977,4o
at the close Of the preceding year.
Cash on hand amounted to s7,54O, ,2S6.
a decrease of S2,770,1O7. Accounts re-
S16,415,S10 in 1920, while notes pay
able were reduced from S3,792 900 to
S2,799, 400. Investment holdings of the
company at the end of the year stood
at $5,260,605. compared with only
$375,951 on December 81. 1920.
In his remarks to stockholders Presi-
dent William N. Wood stressed the un-
favorable conditions that prevailed last
year. stating it to be one of the most
trying years in the company's exist
ence.
"The uncertainties and wide fluctua
tions in values prevailing throughout
the entire year. he said, coupled
with the skepticism on the part of
the trade, have made it very hard to
get the machinery proftably under
way again after the prolonged idle
ness during the latter half Of 1920.
The action Of the wool market during
the last year has been most eccentric,
wide fluctuations in value having oc-
Cured, due largely to the uncertainty
incidental to pending tariff legislation.
THE usual perilous features of the
wool market were still further accentu-
ated by the broad and uncertain move
ments of foreign exchanges, which
affected for US the value of
wool in foreign lands. Although at
the beginning of this year the export
business appeared to have possibilities,
it soon became evident that the foreign
buyers of goods would be able to pur-
chase their requirements at lower
prices from England and the Continent
than your company could Offer

tho credit ranking probably being as
high az that of the French govern
ment. but because Of the unsettled
political conditions in Europe they fall
below the grade of frst-class secur-

non -caliable, at present deserve a
higher classification, in our opinion
New York Edison first lien and refund

callable until 1896, and the Pacific Gas

grade that would meet your needs. A
speculative element attaches to the
Baltimore & Ohio preferred and Great

ment applies to Erie general lien as.
