HUGE EARNINGS
REPORTED
BY RICHARD HATTON

Ninety-four American corpora
tons made reported or estimated
earnings of $4,000, 900 or more dur
ing 1926 and the five heaviest earn
ers ranged from $9O;O0e,00O to well
over $1o0, 200, 900. according to an
article on "The Big Money Makers
of America" by Reuben A. Lewis,
IT., in the current issue OF the
American Bankers Associatlon
Journal.
The leaders are given As the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company with $107 900: General
Motors Corporation, $1O6,OOO,OOO;
Ford Motor Company, whose profits
are not published, but estimates OF
$1o0, 0O0, 900 to $115, 100000 for 1924
suggest its position for 1925; the
United States Steel Corporation.
sec, 900 ,000,t and Standard Oil OF New
Jersey. whose figures are not yet
given, but which is ranked with the
leaders. The article says:
There is a wide gap between the
big five and the. corporations that
follow in their wake. In examining
the capital structures, it is apparent
that the difference in the amount
of the earnings Of the leaders and
the lesser corporations is roughly
in proportion to the amount Of capt.
tai employed.
There has never been a time
when there were so many corporate,
earners of the United States III
the ten-million-doll ar-a-yeaF-or-betTer
class. Since 1921, memorable for
red ink. the ranks have grown
larger. That year, there were 81;
in 1922, 81; SO the next year and
IS in 1924 With business moving
along more briskly during 1926 the
earnings of representative corpora
tions were nearly third larger
than for the preceding year.
cit is a struggle for a corpora
ton to bring it's earnings above
$50 900 000 Federal statistics show
that, taking all corporate enter
prises, large and small, into con-
alteration, not more than two
thirds have made anything in the
best years. On the average, so
per cent report a net profit and
80 per cent have lost money. OF
course, it is always a good bet that
the foremost corporations viii keep
out of red ink because they are
financially able to command the
most capable executives and mana
gerial skill.
''It was recently estimated that
the United States is spending $14.-
000. 000, 900 annually on automobiles.
1t is not surprising to find the
fortunes of those industries that
have a major part in making au-
tomobiles, the accessories and the
things that make the wheels turn
around are on the rise. Nine au-
tomobiIe. manufacturers had earn
ing of more than $40, cot. 900.
The rubber companies had a
banner year, even If crude rubber
did go up like a skyrocket. Fifteen
or more oil companies made &c.
000, 200 or more while number Of
the leading Industrial corporations
attributed a substantial part OF
their earnings to the automotive
development. One maker of auto
mobile bodies amassed SIS 900 zoe.

With the present day disclosure of begartered silk hosiery knee high plus. frcnl the angle sf the fiaie population t would seem that female legs had. so to speak, become something of a drug on the market No longer is there a dangerously mad rush for the first two or three rowa in the orchestra when the Black Crook CT the Charming Serenaders, or any other old time burlesque show comes to town.
 However, the fappers point of view has apparently not taken the grand metamorphosis of the males point of view. and they are still of the opinion that, notwithstanding short skirts. one piece bathing suits. and other lower extremity displaying devices. pair of female legs encased in black or white tights are just as alluring as in the days of the hoop skirts and bustles. As evidence of this is the following ad dressed to Jacob Albert of the S-A Amusement Company:
