Arms Work Aids
M(Cord Profits

McCord Radiator and Manufac-
turing Company may be added in
1912 to the select list of automo-
bile and parts companies likely 10
earn more from defense produc-
ton than under normal conditions
Following several years of adver-
Sity McCord's earnings in l94l
will approximate the average OF
the best years in the company 5
history. In 1912, although its
automotive business will decline,
earnings manufacture OF
helmets and other defense prod
ucts probably will at least COM
pensate for the decline. May even
produce earnings substantially
ahead Of normal.
McCord early in 1871 changed
its fiscal year TO end August 81
and for the eight months reported
"a net profit of 1924 $50 after
establishment of a $304.0 tax re-
serve. equal to SD per cent of
profit before taxes.

One Man Co-operates

Walter Scott McLucas, chairman
of the board of the National Bank
of Detroit, had never appeared
before a movie camera with souno
before the other day. Only civic
duty and the defense program
could have persuaded him TO do IL
because he normally shunS the
spotlight. -,
However. when Frank 1sbey
called McLucas, he said he wouid
make a minute and a'half talk on
defense bonds and the appointment
was made.
MeLueas viii be surprised TO
hear il, but one of the men who
was present said that they had
taken a thousand or so such IN
terviews from business and fl
nancial leaders all over the coun-
try. but they never met a man
who so willingly conceded that
they knew their job better than
he did.
So, I am told. Mr.. McI.ucas
perspired under the strong lights
for about an hour, willingly re-
hearsing and trying TO do what
the movie director asked him TO do.
Gee" said the director, III
all the actors and actresses, as
well as the business leaders,
would act a. cheerfully as that
guy, ID would save millions Of
dollars and result In better pic
lures"
Well, maybe that is why Walter
Scott McLucaS is such an able and
popular executive.

Surely il would be more effec-
