pany at the end Of May. 1923. leav- ing out inventory and fixed assets. were about s65.oo0 Uncluding the value Of the real estate. which has since been sold and turned into cash) while the liabilities were about sll5.- 000. Despite the increased sales Of 1923. over 1929. on Il. .ccmber 3l, 1923. the condition showed that our liquid assets amounted 10 about s42.- 000. while the lia abilities increased to about sl3S.ae0. Even though we re- ceiyed higher pricesfo marine lamps during almost all Of 1923 and though we sold real estate for cash. and good mortgages. the liquid assets decreased while the liabilities have substantially increased. I believe that this is due 10 the fact that with inadequate man. agement. labor costs have gone up. production has decreased. and the company's condition is very serious.
 T do not question the integrity of the present management. but I have the most severe criticism Of the way the factory has been handled. and Of the fact that ,h" company is not get ting it's full share Of the marine lamp business on which the company was founded, and which the old manage mcnt, through IS years experience, had carefully built up.
 For all of these reasons I ask the stockholders Gin whom I am vitaify 10 send their proxies al once 10 the committee who are CO., operating with mo for the purpose Of restoring me to the active manage mont Of the company's affairs.
