New Sales Mark
By KeIvindtOr

Sales in the first quarter Of the
KeNinator division OF Nash-kelVi-
nator Corporation have smashed
all existing company records, with
the total already amounting 10
one-half of the total volume
achieved by the company in 1910
and exceeding by a comfortable
margin the entire years sales
during 1899, il was announced
today by Frank r. Pierce, general
sales manager.
Stating that this year is ex-
pected toll be the biggest in kelvi-
nators history, Pierce said that
business so far during the 1871
fiscal year is running more than
double that Of the corresponding
period in 1870 and four times that
OF, the same period-in 1889.
The tremendous increase in kel-
vinator volume is h highly 81 siieefHfiiffi-
cant, according TO Pierce. who says
that these exceptional gains were
made while the industry as a whole
was increasing its sales only 80 per
cent. We pointed out that Kelvi-
majors doubling of volume follows
the observation-disclosures increases
made by the company last year
when il broke all records for sales
gains in the electric refrigeration
industry by doing pa times the
business it did in 1899.

Encouraging

The transcendently encourage
ing development of last week
was in the labor field.
Public resentment had previ-
ously been rising against strikes.
Washington could not but have
foreseen that it would be COM
PEELED TO take effective measures
TO halt hasty. irresponsible stop
page of preparedness production
in vital industries.
Happily, the disputants in
various centers were persuaded
to get together and reach agree
ment. Resumption of work at
Allis-Chalmers was followed by
announcement that the farflung
Ford plants would resume, al
though all issues have not been
definitely settled.
Granting of wage increases Of
10-cents-an-hour by severa |
lesser steel companies was inter-
preted as foreShadowing similar
action by major corporations and
as conducive to continuance of
production all along the line,
even though the two largest
steel-makers, Unit d States
Steel and Bethlehem, are faced
with demands they halk at con-
ceding.
