Forbes & Co Coffin & Burr, me New York Philadelphia NEW YORK How We Widen Operating Margins Industry is suffering from too narrow margins between net sales and factory costs. We are widening operating margins for numerous clients by one or more of these three fundamental methods : FIRST, by effecting savings in present pay-rolls through eliminating labor now largely wasted or ineffectively used. SECOND, by installing labor-saving devices and modern handling equipment to replace out-of-date apparatus. THIRD, by more efficient generation and use of power, and the more effective operation of other auxiliary processes. The first method seldom requires additional capital, and we often effect pay-roll savings ranging from 10 to 50. The second and third methods necessarily require capital, but in most cases we can show more than 25 yearly return on the invest ment, and not infrequently more than 50. Such consistent and far-reaching economies can only be effected by a highly trained and thoroughly experienced organization of engi neering and managment specialists. Such an organization, nation-wide in scope and international in reputation, is now at the immediate disposal of Philadelphia executives. OUR OFFER With a view to widening your operating margin, we will, for a limited period, at our expense, make a survey of any business in Philadelphia with a pay-roll exceeding $250,000 per annum. We, will present the owners with a report of our con clusions, and opinion whether our services would or would not benefit the business. fori), cfi&con & avte Established 1894 cAn o rganization of experienced engineering and management specialists in public utility ana industrial business. 1421 CHESTNUT STREET PHILADELPHIA Telephone--Spruce 6Q2 MS Broadway New York SaSutfer Street 8j Frenclico Nov York Bonds tBALEB IK $1000 Am Air A Ch T' roli .1 03 1,4 S 08 Vi 1 03 H Am a n ak TOW Amn T A T clt 2 7TK A TJtT ov 4Ui S BSi Amn T & T ft t ftlH 3.. .. 82 Amn TT0 8 0TH 8 07H Artnaur Hi It 78 1 78 A T & B F 4", 1 60U Kris n It cv A i son Krlo It It ev II 1 .... 80 duns' I Klftc Rs 1 85 Otn'l Eleo 0i :. ... lot CltiiKlycur T A llub 8 n . . on; i... . no i. . .

"Pcoplo nro stabilizing their thoughts, as well os their methods," ho continued, "nnd the tiltimntc consumer Is coming Into his own ngaln. No one Js buylntr thoughtlessly these dnys, but everybody Is taking enre to get on? hundred cents of value In every dollar of morchnndise. This represents an extraordinary change from n yenr or so ago when most of tho 21,000,000 fam ilies in the United States wcro buying in tho happy-go-lucky fashion which mado deception and unjustifiablo prlco ad vances not only possible, but the easiest thing to put over. The average mnn thoso days is looking for quality In stead of quantity and driving as good a bargain as he can get. Laid Away for tho lUlny Day Managers of some few of the indus trial concerns apparently enjoyed the raro foresight to lay away for the inevitable rainr dnv durinc tho ncrlod of abnormal big profits during tho war period. Tills apparently applies to sot cral of the so-called equipment com panies, notably American Car nqd Foundry, Amcrlcnn Locomotive and Baldwin Locomotive. Interesting figures as to tho lost-named company's opera tions have already been printed. It wai stated yesterday that the American Locomotive Company since the first of the year has purchased some $15,000. 000 treasury certificates of Indebted ness. It was pointed out interest on this one Item represents about a half year's dividend on the company's pre ferred stock. It Is reported the com pany has n.s much agnln in other in vestments paying higher interest and cash. Some timo ago nn interesting story was told on tho street of the American Car and Foundry Co. being largo lender of fuuds In the call money market, nnd profits obtained from these operations wcro nearly sufficient to pay tho yearly dividends on both classes ol tho company's hhnrcs, besides helping to relievo an otherwise serious situa tion In loan market. Dividend Changes Unavoidable Discussing tho probability of a re duction being mode In both the Great Northern and Northern Pacific divi dends, a prominent local financial In terest, wlto is also a director of several railroads, said yesterday such action would not surprlso him in the least, and furthermore ho expected radical divi dend chances to be made by other rail ronds. "lou cannot pay out something you do not earn, and the conditions aw such as to make most boards of man agers reluctant In dipping into accumu lated surplus to pay unearned dividends. The rnllronds, you must remember, will not receive tho slightest benefit of re duced cnrnlngs or other adjustments until tho last half of tho yenr. These changes do not go Into effect until July 1. In tho meantime, business and industrial conditions are going from bnd to worse. If the leading Industries arc only working -0 to 25 per cent of capacity, it means tho traffic on the various rail road lines will bo reduced proportion ately, and in turn earnings will shrink correspondingly. Furthcrmoio the im provement shown In April operations ai a result of tho rigid retrenchments ap plied are nppnrently not being main tained, nnd from whnt figures there are nt Iinnd, May returns will be disap pointing. There ! still much to be don in the readjustment, and dividend must suffer In consequence. It is hard fo' many Investors, but It is nn unfortunate condition that hardly could have been foreseen." Ono Sore Spot Removed Reports that were current n little over a week ago concerning an impor tant financial combination having token steps to Htrcngthcn the position of n more or less prominent Institution had a sequel in other reports which were current after the closing yesterday to tho effect that tho hend of the same In stitution had taken a vacation an-1 would be away from bnsinrsN caret for the next two jenrs. It was thought that much of tho liquidation on Monday wns connected with some incident ol this kind, on which the public hns no general knowledge, but which for s time had an Important influence on prices. Proposed Cuban Loan According to a icport circulated yes terday In local banking circles, Cubn hns been invited to consider a loan for $100,000,000 or more. Tills story an parcnty was prompted becauso of the conference which was held in New Tork yesterday by Important bnnklng interests concerning the Cuban situa tion. Consent of both American and Cuban Governments would be a neces sary preliminary in such negotiations. It is understood Cuba Is willing, but Washington has not yet signified ItJ approval. Those familinr with the unfortunate Cuban situation nsfcert the proceeds of buch a loan could b used ndvnntage ously by the Cuban Government to aid the present demoralized condition of the sugar industry. Project for a cen tral bank of lsue could be carried forward. Cubn at the moment is t-uf-fcriug from n current' panic and lack of banking facilities In the present crlslB as well iih low sugar prices. Kither dlrectl or through tin new central bnnk supervised bv American managers loans could then be made t sugar producer " ninp'e security thereby relieving the banks In this country which have been carrying the brunt of the 1 irden.
