Profits Are
Higher In 81
Returns Show
BY SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK R-The first trickle
of corporate earnings statements
for 1852 is coming in. And, as of
today, they are encouraging.
The early ones show combined
profits running about ID per cent
higher than the previous year. And
they show the final three months
of 1852 better profitwise than the
earlier periods of the year.
Statements by many company
executives, moreover, show they
think the momentum of better prof
its is carrying over into the pres
ent year.
The great gusher of annual state
ments is yet TO spout. 1t could
change the earnings picture entire
/ y.
Remember, also, that companies
doing better than in previous years
are the ones most likely to be the
| first to tell the stockholders how
things are going. Some of the sad
der tales may wait for awhile.
But reports of "a corporations,
in various industries and both
giant and tiny, show that in the IL
months period they had combined
earnings running los per cent
ahead of the previous fiscal year
In four cases the fiscal year ended
Nov. 80. The other 20 ended Dec.
81.
Taken together, the "a had prof
its of 1894, las, 800, against $537, 6S7, :
303 in the previous fiscal year.
And IL corporations reporting for
the final three months of 1952-no
matter what quarter that repre-
sents in their fiscal year-Show
combined profits 1917 per cent
ahead of the last three months of
1851. Together, the IL earned $780,
021 $3.50, against SOS, SOS, 1S5 in the
fourth quarter of 1851.
This first slim report seems to
indicate business profits continued
in the final months the upward
trend they started at mid-year.
In the first three months OF 1852
profits trailed the year-before peri
cd by around 8 per cent. In the
next three months they were off
by nearly IL per cent.
The industrial squirt that followed
the end of the steel strike started
the bah rolling in the other di-
rection. For the July, August and
September quarter, profits aver
aged around per cent higher than
the previous year. and now appear
likely to have done even better in
the homestreteh.
Of the "A companies reporting
for IL months, IL show increased
earnings and II show declines.
| In most cases, however, the drop
in earnings vas slight, while the
u gamers include most Of the larg.
er corpora ions to report so far,
and many have substantial in.
creaseS-well offsetting those with
decreases.

Since mailing in my income tax
returns, I've been sitting and wait

nice, big cash refund with apollo

about old men in Key West in the

about old folks q few days ago

Siggy wore a green cap, with
a long visor, like Eddie Strunk's

on his left ear, and the rakish

SAYS

4 n
NEW YORK R-There are per-
haps dozen people in the world
who earn living by chewing gum.
These elite figures of the IT'S
Acknowledgment chewing gum
industry must develop nearly as
educated taste sense as profess
sional wine Slippers or tea tasters.
| Douglas L. Brown, lean-jawed
man of "A, has been dutifully
chewing gum some eight hours a
day for the last q years.
| Steady did it. He rose from a
| job on the gum production line,
after studying chemistry at night,
to his present post as quality con-
troll director of the Adams Gum
Co., one of the big three In the
field.
81 must have chewed five tons
of gum and tasted don't know how
many gallons of Havoring oil" he
said.
| Brown estimates he now can
| tell the difference chiefly by
their chewing characteristics =
between Is to 20 types of gum from
a dozen countries. And do it blind
folded, too.
This has its penalties. Word of
his taste skill has spread so that
he is guinea pig whenever they
try out new recipe.
| Chewing gum is regarded by
most people as a simple, standard
lied, almost changeless product.
Brown says it isn't that way at
all-itS an adventurous industry
that moves with the times.
"A good stick of gum may be
blended from dozen different
gum bases" he said. "Such as
chicle from Mexico, perillo from
Colombia, jelutong from Malaga,
chiquibul from Guatemala, katiau
from Boreno, or massaranduba
from Brazil.
"All gums are extracted from
the sap of tree. They are basic
ally members of the rubber family,
but none is rubber. And each batch
has to be tested for quality"
The modern gum industry be-
gan in America after the Civil War.
1t stemmed from some samples Of
chicle brought here by the Mexi-
can general, Santa Anna, during
one of his periods of exile. Before
that Americans chewed favored
| paraffin wax and resin tarS from
spruce trees.
There are trends in chewing gum
just as there are in household fur
niture and women's hats.
''The trend right now is toward
a firmer, more resilient gum with
a stronger flavor" said Brown.
This isn't because peoples jaws
are getting stronger. Kids raised
on bubble gum are just growing
up-and they are used to a tougher
chew
"It's funny how many letters
people write in suggesting new
gum favors. Some want liquor
taste. That was tried. Didn't work.
No mass market-perhaps because
there we're more flavors like that
at bars.
"Some want tobacco-flavored
gum. Some ask for cola favors.
One Arab wanted a gum with a
lamb flavor
Considerable scientific research
goes into the creation Of any new
gum.
1T took us ten years of work
Ito perfect chlorophyll gum" said
Brown. Il chewed close to $500
sample pieces before We put it on
the market"
He likes his job and says his
wife likes it even better.
Il chew so much gum during
the day." he said, "that my jaws
are too tired for me TO want to
| start any family arguments. !"
