On the
Business
Front
BY WARD sCHuLTz

The proxy statement of a De-
troit company brings to light
the highest wartime remunera-
ton paid 10 a salesman which
has yet come TO my attention.
The +. l.. Jacobs Co. reports
that total remuneration in the
last fiscal year ending July 81
TO William b. Hurd. sales repre-
sentative aggregated 1896, 1874. Is.
This was more than three times
the total paid 10 all the COM.
pany's officers and directors
A footnote offers the addi-
tional information that the pay
ment is on an aocrual basis and
that an agreement was made
between Hurd and the company
on June Is, 1913, that S250,000
OF this sum is 10 be paid as
follows:
One third on or before the
expiration Of the calendar year
1914 or 1913 at the election of
the company, one third before
the expiration of the following
year, and final third before
the expiration of the year fol-
lowing that. On June IL, the
previously existing agreement
between the company and Hurd
was terminated and Cancelled
and under new agreement he
was employed as a salesman of
the company under the sales
director at a salary Of $50 900
a year. plus his travelling eX-
penses, subsistence and other
properly chafgeab1c expenses in
connection with the perform
ance OF his duties"
In another section Of the
statement this interesting TACT
comes to light. Under an agree
ment with the RFC made in
1872 payments 10 salesman
Hurd were to be limited 20 $780,
1888 a m on h, with any
amounts due him over that
amount subordinated during the
term of the RFC loan. However,
the loan was paid off fast May
and the subordInation agreement
thus cancelled.
The indignant stakeholder
who brought the proxy state
ment in 10 me, wanted me TO
tell him how any salesman
could justifiably earn S796, 1913
in commissions when the com
pany has been engaged through
out the year exclusively on the
production OF war materials.
It's beyond me. too
However. II President Rex
Jacobs will supply the answer,
