Wright, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the new Company: EARNINGS "For the past three years net earnings after taxes and liberal allowance for depreciation have averaged over $1,100,000, or after allowing for full 7 dividends and sinking funds on both the First Preferred and Voting Preferred Stocks, the equivalent of 8 or $4.00 a share on the Common Stock outstanding. The demand for the products of the Company has never been greater than at present, and I estimate that the net earnings of the Company applicable to dividends on the Common Stock for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920, will be in excess of 13 on the amount of Common Stock outstanding, or equivalent to $6.65 a share. TRADE POSITION "The Company will occupy a dominant position in the wire industry and be in a position to increase its business substantially and to make a considerable reduction in its unit costs. Among the advantages of consolidated operations I may mention that the output of wire will be increased about 1 0,000 tons by reason of the fact that the Clinton Plant has heretofore purchased elsewhere its supply of wire which will now be manufactured in the Worcester and Palmer Plants of the Company." PROPERTIES The Clinton-Wright Wire Company, incorporated June 23, 1919, under the laws of Massachusetts, has acquired the assets and business of the Clinton Wire Cloth Company, founded in 1856, the Morgan Spring Company, founded in 1881, and the Wright Wire Company, founded in 1883. ASSETS The land, buildings, machinery, equipment and other fixed assets of the Company have been appraised by Messrs.

The net quick assets of the Company, according to an approximate consolidated balance sheet prepared by Messrs. Marwick, Mitchell, Peat & Co., are in excess of $4,200,000. Physical property and net quick assets of the Company therefore aggre gate $12,425,000 or $100 for each share of First Preferred and Voting Preferred Stock outstand ing and $49.50 for each share of Common Stock now outstanding. Application will be made in due course to li-i this stock on the New York and Boston Stock Exchanges. PRICE $36 A SHARE Liggett & Drexel 61 Broadway 120 Broadway NsvrYork. . New York.
