Ward S Net Hit
By Higher Taxes

CHICAGO, Feb. Il. - While
Montgomery Ward e. Co.'S total
sales for the l. months ended
January 81, last, are expected TO
be slightly ahead of the compar-
able period a year ago. higher
federal income and excess profits
taxes and other charges will tend
to reduce net profit, bringing per-
share earnings a little below the
.$4.01 per share reported for the
preceding fiscal year.
Future earnings, however, are
likely to be limited for the dura-
ton of the war by the growing
shortages of merchandise, the
effects Of time payment restric-
tons. increasing wage costs and
excessive labor turnover. The
large mail order firm will probably
feel the full impact of war
economy for the first time during
the current year.
For the nine months ended Oct.
81. 1912. Wards reported net
profit equal TO S2.6S a share. COM
pared with S247 a share for the
corresponding nine months of 1871.
Federal taxes for the nine months
of l942 were adjusted TO basis of
current law.
