GERMAN MILLS
ARE BUSY AGAIN
Doing Greatest Business iu
More Than Five Years,
Reports Say
t'obloili. Dec. 11.—German in
dustries generally this fall have been
doing the greatest business in more
[than five years, according to German
i newspaper accounts. Foreign ord
ers have been coming in for months,
various industrial centers have re
ported. Many factories are said to
have on hand more orders than they
will be able to fill in six months or
more. On all sides employes are
demanding increased wages, and
many labor difficulties have arisen
with indications of unrest among
the German workmen for at least
some months.
No extensive sales of German
goods to foreign buyers are recorded
in the German newspapers but
American army officers who keep ac
count of the industrial and economic
situation assert that it is an estab
lished fact that foreign buyers aro
taking advantage of the low value
of the mark to purchase German
products wherever possible. In
Coblenz, Belgian buyers decently
have been purchasing chinaware,
kitchen utensils, aluminum ware,
furs and other articles of general
use.
The situation has reached such
proportions that the Ministries of
Economics and Finance have been
discussing the advisability of estab
lishing a duty on exports on the
ground that "a large part of the
German exports is being sold at
sacrificial prices."
The Cologne Chamber of Com
merce, in calling attention to the
large purchases of goods by foreign
ers, says that in view of the low
value of the mark, these foreign
purchases constitute nothing more
than a "commercial plundering of
Germany." The chamber, as well
as others in Frankfurt and else
where, have advised German mer
chants when selling to foreign buy
ers, to charge prices somewhat in
proportion to the actual vale of the
goods in the markets of the world.

South America Needs
i Merchant Ships. Says
Chilian Mission Head
London, Dee. 11.—One of the
greatest needs of the South Amer
ican republics to-day is an immense
increase of mere-hunt shipping,
says Sir Isinael Tocot-nnl. head of
the Chilian Mission, which has just
been entertained in England.
"We lack ships for the trade of
Europe," Senor Tocornal as
serted. "We need ships in abund
ance if we are to reach the full
power. We are anxious to expand
our trade with England and with
Europe in general. With Amer
ica we have had important com
mercial associations and much ma
chinery in Chile is of American or
German manufacture.
To turn to political matters,
the recent references to the Re
public of Peru in connection with
Chile in the European press have
perhaps left unexplained the ac
tual state of affairs, or, rather, the

BUSINESS. Montgomery Ward & Company was established in 1872 as the Jirst cata
logue and mad order house in the United States. It was incorporated in Illinois in 1889
and reincorporated in New York in 1913. Because of the passage of the new Illinois
Corporation Law, the company has been reincorporated in Illinois, thus making all of its
stock exempt from personal property taxes when held by residents of Illinois.

and sales territory have constantly increased until now orders are received from cverv
state and outside territory of the United States, as well as foreign countries, the sale's
to date for 1919 being approximately $90,000,000.
Salient Features
l'rom the letter of Mr. Robert J. Thorne, President of the Company, and the report of
Messrs. Arthur \ oung & Co., Certified Public Accountants, we summarize as follows:
98% OF THE COMPANY'S ORDERS are accompanied by cash in
advance.
MERCHANDISE IS BOUGHT directly from manufacturers and sold
by mail directly to consumers, largely eliminating all intermediate
profits. The company itself operates factories and is interested in
many others. t
IN VIEW OF THE FACT that company has been in business nearly
50 years and that millions of dollars have been expended in
advertising and distributing catalogues, and that hundreds of
thousands of customers have dealt with it continuously, it is clear
that the Good Will, catalogues and lists are of immense value.
It is believed that the Good W ill is equal to entire net assets of
company, although neither these nor other intangible values
are carried on its books as assets.
SALES FOR 1918 were over $76,000,000, an increase of over 100% in the
past six years; and the estimated sales for 1919 show an increase of
almost 150%, during that period.
NET PROFITS have shown an increase from $1,653,481 in 1913 to
$6,390,181, before taxes, in 1918.
THE ASSOCIATION with men who have recently become large hold
ers of this new stock will greatly benefit the company in broadening
its merchandising field, and the companv, continuing under the
same management, will be greatly strengthened.
\
J HE COMPAN\ has specific plans for large developments, which will
balance its facilities for new ware houses and distribution covering
the entire United States in the most economical and efficient man
ner.
THIS FINANCING of the company is ample to carry out these projects
and to maintain a generous cash reserve, the balance sheets show
ing cash on hand, $29,701,495.16; Liberty Bonds, $1,609,443.25.
The legality of this issue has been approved by Messrs Winston Strawn & Shaw
of Chicago; Messrs. White & Case of New York City, and Mr. Henrv
