Postwar Cars

Although the immediate post
war automobile market Will
probably consist largely of new
1912 models. succeeding styles
will be based on economy OF
operation rather than perform
ance and size, if present pre-
dictions of sutomotive engineers
mean anything.
At the annual meeting OF the
the Society of Automotive Engi-
neers, changes were foreseen
along the lines of improved
tranSmissions and rear axle
ratios-possibly using automatic
transmission - better rolling
wind resistance and car weight
with 1000 and 5000 pound
cars getting IS TO 30 miles on
a gallon OF gas.
Other likely possibilities are
reduced engine size for most
models. fewer cylinders, and in
creased compression ratios.

Bowers
Sales to
Set Mark

Business OF Bower Roller Bear
ing Co. continues at high and
relatively stable rate, indicating
1913 sales may be moderately
ahead of the $11,S76,837 record
established in 1912. Profit before
renegotiation should approximate
$1.300,000 or about $4.33 a share
After renegotiation the company
may have about 81 100000 or 1888
share for the stock.
Last year net profit before re-
negotiation was 81 ,062 ,273 or $3.45
a share. Net cost of renegotiation
of 1912 sales was $l99, 500, which
reduced earnings for the year to
1862, 773 or S2.S7 a share.
Net profit for nine months
ended Sept. 30, 1943, with no pro-
vision for renegotiation was S979,-
553 or S3.25 a share against $627.-
679 or 500 a share in like period
last year.
Directors will meet soon to take
action on dividend customarily
payable in December. 1t has been
their practice in recent years be-
fore the end of the year to declare
another dividend to be paid in
March quarter of succeeding year.
This dividend is charged against
earnings for calendar year in
which it is declared.
Disbursement to be made in De-
cember and one expected TO be de-
clared at year-end probably will
be so cents each, bringing to 81 a
