share for the first "a weeks OF
this year = highest mid-year
net earnings in history-were
reported today by Saftway

President Robert A. Mago-
wan said this result was at
tanned by increased sales and
effective control of expenses,
despite the higher cost of mer-
chandise to the company. The

almost 10 per cent more than
the 3,566,451 average outStand-
ing during the same period of

per cent higher than the So
925, 271 for the first "a weeks of
last year.
Income taxes for the period
represented more than pa
cents of each dollar of sales,
while net income totaled less
than 1l2 cents on each dollar
of sales, President Mcgowan
declared.
Sales for the period totaled
$950,518.879. a jump of 6.65
per cent over the 1891 ,252, 1863
for the similar 1856 period.
Since January / the company
has opened "a new stores and
closed So old ones. This COM
pared with 80 openings during
1856. An additional SO stores
are now being built and are
expected to be in operation
before the year ends.
The Washington area has
shared in this growth, Edgar
Balshaw. divisional manager,
has pointed out.
Now the company has 2,O12
retail stores open for business
against 1894 last year.

live with this sort Of trend"
was the comment Of one finan-
cier. After so many years of
war controls and Of easy
money, we couldn't believe
what happened in 1858 could
happen to us. We were psy-
chologically completely unpre-
pared. Now we know what
free markets can be like"
Because the weak firms fell

those left are strong and ex-
perienced enough to survive

was the explanation Of a Sec

in the making, well recover
quickly"
But if a turn is not yet in
the making?
Il still think the big houses
will come through although we
may see some 'hasty marriages
among the smaller ones" was
the judgment of a third.
Whatever the second six
months of 1857 bring to the
Nations bond houses. this is
sure: the first six months saw
the fiercest test of our high
grade bond markets since the
Civil War.
