New York, July 28-Reflecting the
tremendous increase in sales, earn
ings of the United States Rubber
Company for the first six months
of 1943 rose to s6,912,466 from ST.
554 BAL in the corresponding period
last year, according to the report of
F.. B. Davis Jr., chairman of the
board, issued for publication today.
The net income, which is after
provision of S17,820,414 for Federal
and foreign taxes is equivalent to
1914 a share on 1,759,092 shares
of common stock after providing 81
in dividends on the 8 per cent
preferred stock. The six months net
income last year was after $13, $780,
822 taxes and $2,741 ,049 special pro-
vision for war losses, and provided
$239 a share for the preferred
stock.
Consolidated net sales, exclusive
of the large volume of business done
for the government on cost-plus
flXed-fee basis, amounted to $780,
Il0,494, an increase OF ST. ,9O3, 599
or SIS per cent over the $13O,814, 1875
volume for the corresponding half
of 1912.
In his remarks to stockholders,
Mr.. Davis pointed out that the
company is cooperating in the gov
ernment's synthetic rubber pro-
gram, with two plants already in
operation for the government at
Naugatuck, Conn.,, and Institute,
w. Va, with a third plant at Los
Angles, Calf, scheduled to come
into production in September.
These three plants" he said,
have rated annual capacity of
10000 tons of buna S, which is
equivalent to nearly one-quarter of
the normal peacetime consumption
of rubber in this country for all
purposes.
1.-The proportion of synthetic as
compared with the amount of ma
tural rubber used by company plants
in the manufacture of both war and
essential civilian goods is increasing
