In

The increase in sales in 1948

Sales have'again dropped, but this year the'decline was considerably
less than last year.
Postwar years show sales as follows:
1946, $5,563,000; 1947, $3,119,000; and 1948, $2,576,000.
The operating loss at the end of the first six months of 1948 was
$92,226.
Earnings for the last half of the year reduced this loss to
$61,593.
The provision for refund of Federal income taxes due to
carry-back further reduced this figure to a net loss of $37,593.
The
operations of the company for January and February, 1949 continued
to be profitable, according to Ralph B. Sernler,* President.

In January, 1949, the
company granted General Chemical Division,
Allied Chemical & Dye Corp., an
option for six months, in considera¬

purchase all of our lands in Carroll

for

the

of

$2,500,000.
If the option is exercised by
General Chemical Co., the $50,000
payment will apply to the purchase
