To the roar of the motors as their

Long distance truckers here

On the
Business
Front
By WARD SCHULTZ
Detroit Times Financial Editor

That the Edward G. Budd
Manufacturing Company had over
accrued federal income and excess
profits taxes i'm the first half OF
this year was indicated in the re-
port for the third quarter and
nine months. In the latter state
ments. federal income taxes were
computed on the basis Of the new
Revenue Act and over-accruals
made in the first half OF the year
were regained in the third quar-
ter and helped to swell that total,
as well as substantially increase
the figure for the nine-month
period.
The recoup of earnings previ-
ously charged out as provision for
taxes was not nearly as marked
in Budd Manufacturing as II was
in the case of Budd Wheel, how
ever, where excess profits taxes
have been running extremely high.
Budd Manufacturing accrued fed
eral income taxes in the first six
months on the basis Of over S6
per cent, while for the nine
months period the rate was 80
per cent, with the balance being
adjusted in third quarter results.
The terrific pace at which the
Budd plants are working in turn
ing out war materials for the
government is indicated by the
fact that Notwithstanding last
years accelerated output, sales
for the first nine months OF this
year show a gain Of so per cent
over year ago. Average
monthly sales for the first nine
months OF 1912 was $500, 900,
against $6 300. 900 average for the
like period OF 1941.
