IN Dollar Earnings

Libby, McNeill & Libby this week
lrepOrted a marked Improvement in
earnings for the first six months
of its current fiscal year.
Net income for the half-year end
ing December 27, 1858, was $2,-
532,589 compared with earnings oi
$254,245 for the same period q

DAB as against $136,428,670. Physi-
cal volume was down about go.
In the company's semi-annual re-
port president Charles S. Bridges
referred to statement made in
the annual report that the over
supplies prevalent in canned and
frozen foods for two years in a
row were leveling off and conse-
quent firming of prices was in evi-
dence on many products
These developments, which came
too late to improve results in the
last fiscal year, have made their
influence felt in the past six
months. Our continuing program
to keep costs down has also had a
favorable effect on earnings"
Bridges stated that although pri-
ces have improved, the company's
earnings have not benefited fully
because of steadily increasing costs
of labor and supplies.
He added that the company is
making greater investments in
new facilities to improve efficiency
and further integrate operations
The company. will break ground in
April for new $10,00O,000 Chicago
