BY KENNETH s. VAN sTRUM.

NEW YORK, March 19.--Last year
the earnings of the can manufacturing
companies rose above the former h1gn
record made in 1925 and made 1928 the
most profitable year in history. Now the
question arises as to whether some
what less active period such as the in
dustry underwent for two years after
1925 is to follow last years prosperity.
Leading can manufacturers say that
while the pack last year was large, there
are no signs of a dangerous oversupply
of canned goods. They say that the
consumption has kept pace with the
supply, so that with normal stocks in
dealers hands, can manufacturers
should have another good year provid-
ing large canning crops are harvested.
Some years ago the can making In
dustry was in the hands of many small
manufacturers, each of whom catered
to special crops. If that crop failed,
they would suffer. During the last
quarter century, however, the industry
has gradually come under the control
of two large companies. These COM
panies. by placing factories in various
sections of the country to serve diff
ferent crops, have been able to stabilize
earnings to an extent unknown in the
days when crop failure would mean
acute depression for the manufacturer
making the containers only for that or.9
crop.
American Can.
As early as 1901, realizing the adj
vantages of diversif1cation, the founders
of the American Can Co. consolidated
number of independent manufac-
turers. AS the possibilities of various
sections of the country increased and
the popularity of canned goods grew
new plants were built. TODAY the COM
pany's factories are strategically located
throughout the United States and
Canada. Although the most active
period of expansion is probably over.
the company's annual report suggests
the need for still further extension.
American Can has always followed
very conservative policy in the matter
of dividends, and has reinvested a con-
siderable share of earnings in the COM
pany, so that its financial strength has

"Thc Redceming Sim" starring

will be seen tonight for the last time
ut Fox Imperial Theatre.
This Warner Bros Nitaphonc pro
.lucti6n pleased two large audiences
ut the theatre last night and those
who saw it marveled at the dramatic
ability shown by Miss Costello in
the role of a girl Of the Paris
slms. Instead Of the demure maid
cn of previous Costello pictures, they
saw fighting wildcat of the Paris
Apachcs portrayed with all the
yigor Of the real thing.
Warner Bros. have achieved dis
timct triumph in "'The Redeeming
Sin. " not only for its dramatic Hp-
peal and the high calibre Of the
cast chosen for it, but III the set
tings called for in the production.
The patron would be justified in be
licviug that some Of the scenes were"
actually filmed in Paris, yet the"
were all taken in Hollywood, hom'
Of Warner Bros.
The glorirs Of the French
churches, the poverty Of the slums

produced in their true atmosphcres.

n TIE purchase of motOr-car-or any other COM
4 modty-the most vital and compelling factor
regardless of any other consideration is intrinsic rdlue
No business institution can ignore this truth and
survive. No moor-car buy afford to ignoreit.
II is the only sure basis Of sound udicious buying.
The principle underlying this fundamental economic
fact has long been tradition and faith with the
Cadillac Motor Car Company.
The buying public rndrrs ands and appreciates this.
II realizes that the highest quality product the product
of greatest intrinsic Value is inevitably the most
economical product
That public has actually itself eyaluated Cadillac and
Ia Sale and not the Cadillac Motor Car Company.
II knows full we'll the traditional excellence of Cadillac
La Sale craftsmanship.
II at work in Cadillac and La Sale the vast buying
power of General Motors deibcrate planned to permit
value giving in excess OF amy other standard.
And quite logically concludes that no other manurac-
turcr produce fire can the Cadillac Motor
Car Company without cNacng price premium that
would make the product prohibithe.
That the public has confirmed It's Judgment is attrscd
by its loyal allegiance to Cadillac and La Sale and by
the hosts who constantly locking to Cadillac
La Sale ownership.
This is proved by the fact that in 928 CadilacLa Sale
dollar volume exceeded the dollar ome of any manu-
iacurCr in the fine field; and Cadillac-La Sales
business in Fleetwood CIstom-bult models the very
ultimate in luxurious motoring exceeded the custom
