Profits for Year
By Nelson IA. Shepard

including the New York subsidiary
of Brooks Brothers, totaled $21 $685.
263, an increase of sl,729 1865 or 8.5
per cent over the previous year.
A part of this increase came from
the expanding suburban store which

on Massachusetts avenue set new
record in each of the six years and
necessitated the addition of 5000
square feet of space in the year.

OF July 81 showed current assets OF
S8,805 ,468 and current liabilities of
$3.50 1888, or working capital OF
s6.245 $50 as compared with $5,594,-
902 on that date last year.
After dividend requirements or
preferred stocks, earnings on 1904
shares of common stock were re-
ported as 1854 per share.
