"Best opportunity in so years.

that's something that has not hap

err of Cumber-M Moore company, of

Half of those so years Moore
talks about he has spent running
his business here, so he speaks
with authority. He founded his
company in 1922 at II NJ. Second

The fact that the company still &C.

indicate the company has been
static; as soon as materials are
available, Moore plans a complete
remodeling of the premise.
Cumber-Moore company is en-
gagged in pre-fabrication of plumb
ing and heating equipment. For
example. the company is able to
install complete kitchens and bath
rooms in private homes with the
same speed and dispatch with
which other pr e. fabricated pro-
ducts are erected, even though
different plans and specifications
have to be met.
Employees at the company num-
Der $50 persons.
Among other jobs successfully
handled by the company were five
projects for the federal govern
ment. Recently 500 of the pre-fab-
ricated units were made for use in
England and France, 1,120 were
sent to Charleston, S. c., 400 to

chased by the Wilmington Housing

Lifting OF Excess Profits
Tax Produces Most
BuIlish Period
BY ARTHUR H. NORRIS
Camhridge Associates

Climbing steadily throughout
1945 in a fifty point advance over
the previous year-end level, the
stock market looks back on its
best year since 1885 and looks for
ward cockily to even happier days
in 1916. The fact that stock prices
are today standing at levels only
exceeded in 1928 and 1929 is wide
1y discounted in view Of the relent-
less search for yield and apprecia-
ton profits in a situation where
money brings little at interest and
where new security offerings,
other than governments, are still
trifling in relation to the supply
of investment funds.
Market Climbs
Such developments in 1915 as the
passing of Mr.. Roosevelt, the viz
tual elimination of margin trad
ing, and end of the war and war
expenditures, - events which in
ordinary circumstances might
readily have had a SOLDERING effect
on a bull market-Were passed Oft
with a shrug as the market kept
on climbing. AS might be expect
ed, the outstanding bullish devel-
opment OF the year was the
prompt elimination of the excess
profits tax soon after the war was
over. Likewise the most dynamic
part of the markets 1945 rise &C.
Cured while this tax change was
in the legislative hopper.
The Boom
The fact seems to be that both
the professional investor and the
so-called public" have fixed their
eyes on what has come to be ac-
cepted as certainty-namely that
we are bound to have big bust
ness boom in this country arising
out of both war-deferred domestic
requirements and a U. S. financed
world reconstruction program.
INSTALLATION of the potentia:
profits of such a boom makes in
vestors relatively insensitive to thu
uncertainties which mar the more
immediate investment picture
Strikes, higher wages, narrowed
profit margins, deferred volume
production, and lack of flexible
pricing policy are regarded as on
ly deferring and even intesifyinl
the boom anticipated for late 1914
and for 1947.
Some Questions
Assuming that stock prices il
1915 will bear some reasonable re
lationship to the net profits devel
oped, there Is some question a
to whether present market level
are not looking overly far into tn,
