In the cuse of another company he said that "for the ten years ended in 1918 the dividends paid were equivalent to about 243 per cent, of the increased capital, or over 300 Per cent on the actual capital." The witness said that in most eases the extent of profits in cool had been obscured by the capitali zation of reserves or other readjust ments of capital. "By these methods and by divi- I dends," he testified, "the most suc cessful companies are able to re turn to their shareholders every few years the whole of the share capital j originally subscribed by them." j Mr. Davis said that if tho coal reserves of tho country were pooled, | tho enormous profits made and par tially concealed by tho large com - j panics would be available to meet j part, at least, of any additional I working costs that might be neces jsary, and that the incentive to build up reserves for subsequent distri bution, which obscured the enorm ous profits actually being made, would disappear.

Careful records show that this saving runs from 20 to 60 per cent. This is true whether the Duplex replaces other trucks, or horses and mules. Wherever it goes, the Duplex goes more cheaply—and gets through. With its power applied to all four wheels, it carries a full load where ordinary trucks could not move their own weight. It has more than four times the power it would have if it drove with two wheels only. This means lower cost per ton-mile. It means saving in fuel and tires. It means constant performance, under all conditions. The Duplex is the original 4-Wheel-Drive truck. For eleven years it has been establishing wonderful records in lowering haulage costs. These records show that the Duplex consistently and continually saves from 20 to 60 per cent. Business executives should study these records, and also ask us to demonstrate the Duplex.
