Net earnings after depreciation of Bethlehem Steel Corporation and Its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 1913, were nearly three and one-half times the entire interest charges for the year, and the average of such net earnings for the five years ended December 31, 1913, was about two and one-third times the average interest charges during such years. While final figures are not yet available, the net earnings after depreciation for the year ended December 31. 1914, were substantially in excess of those for 1913, which had been the best previous year in the Corporation's history, . The annual business of Bethlehem Steel Corporation and Its subsidiaries has increased from $14,554,117 in 1905 to approximately $47,500,000 in 1914, Orders on hand of Bethlehem Steel Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31st, 1914, aggregated approximately $46,500,000, or equivalent to about an entire year's business.
