Upon the termination of the. war/ the company Commenced to re¬
peacetime operations. This required the rearrange¬
ment of the company's plants, removal of government-owned machinery
•and equipment, reinstallation of
the company's own machines and
equipment/ and the acquisition of some new machinery, equipment
and
tools, all of which were carried through as expeditiously as
possible. The cancellation of the company's war production contracts
and the expense and delay caused by plant clearance and reconversion
to peacetime work resulted in operating
losses which lessened the
company's profits for the year 1945. Reconversion to normal peacetime
operations has now been completed.

THE COMPANY—£t the beginning of the year,
the company had bahk loaris outstanding in the amount of $3,500,000.
Such loans were reduced by $1,000,000 on July 24,
1945, at which
time the balance of $2,500,000 was renewed at a 2% interest rate.
In the latter part of 1945, the company retired and redeemed all of
its then outstanding indebtedness, consisting of the $2,500,000 bank
loans mentioned above,
$8,000,000 of G%- debentures and $3,000,000
of 5 %
debentures, out of treasury funds and the proceeds of $10,000,000 two-year unsecured bank loans bearing interest at the rate
of
1%:%
per annum.
The new bank loans are renewable by the
company, subject to any requisite approval of the SEC, for an addi¬
tional
three-year period at increased interest rates and may be
prepaid by the company in whole or in part at any time without

HISTORY AND BUSINESS—Company was incorporated as

business

a

manufacturing corporation in Missouri, Oct. 4, 1899, and has
been
engaged in business continuously since incorporation. Company
operates, manufacturing plants in St.
Louis, Mo.; Detroit, Mich.;
Philadelphia,Pa.; and Baltimore, Md.
It also owns and operates
facilities in Cairo, IlL^ intended eventually for development as a
manufacturing plant,' for which it is now being partially equipped,
but which facilites are presently employed for warehousing purposes.
and

the

1942

to

prior

company

in

engaged

was

the

manufacture

of

upholsterv padding prepared from cotton and sisal raw stocks.
Cotton
batting was made from several kinds of cotton waste, such as linters,
picker, and fly.
Sisal padding was made principally of sisal fibre.
Company also manufactured saddle girths for the saddlery industry
and various supplies for the upholstery
and mattress trades.
The
customers of the company consist entirely of other manufacturers to
which it sells various components for the finished products manu¬
factured by them. Its products are not sold at retail. Prior to the
war the company supplied a number of leading automobile manufac¬
turers with upholstery materials, as well as numerous mattress and
furniture makers, the business at that time being, roughly, on a basis
of two for one in favor of the automobile manufacturers.
During the w'ar, the demand for automobile pads was greatly cur¬
and the demand for mattresses and upholstery pads was also
greatly affected by the fact that the manufacturing companies could
not get other necessary supplies.
However, the company continued
to
manufacture merchandise for the furniture and mattress manu¬
tailed,

curtailed basis, and also maunfactured
of
pads for the automotive industry, which were used

used principally on excavating machinery, oil well drilling and
oil pumping

pressors and various other industrial'equipment powered by gasolineand Diesel engines.
In 1931 the company began the development of
a

In 1934 and each subsequent'

on the new

it is expected that it will be

The acquisition by the

The corporation operates as a producer and a

developer of acreage,
connecting oil and gas production to the pipe- lines. It is intended
that the policy of the corporation shall be to follow a conservative
.course and to make further investments only in proven .acreage or
in-sites where
the presence of oil is reasonably indicated by sur¬
rounding production and a careful study of available'geological data,
v The method of operation determined upon for future ^development}
in the interests of economy, is to contract-at fixed prices and terms
for
wells
to
be
drilled
by an independent. contractor.
Upon the
discovery of oil or gas in commercial quantities, arrangements are
to be made immediately for-pipe-line connections with one of the
established
major oil units.
It is intended that in this way the
field staff will be kept small and flexible and operations will be
at

He added that this improved trend is continuing
According to Mr. Pollock, the increases in both production and sales
during 1946 referred to above were obtained despite strikes at

The increase in profits was substantially greater than the

Among the reasons for this improvement Mr

With the increase in the
amount
of the company's equity
capital and with the outlook for
future expansion of the company's operations, it is now possible for
the company to replace the senior securities issued, and the 2% bank
loan made, in May, 1945, with new securities and loans, having less
onerous
restrictions on the payment of common stock dividends and
thus to make possible the sale of the additional common stock on
favorable
terms.

In December, 1945, $6,900,000 of class A stock with an annual divi¬
dend requirement of $483,000 was eliminated through the issuance of
additional common stock.
The! adjusted earned surplus of the com¬
pany has increased from approximately $1,400,000 at April 30, 1945,
to $3,535,436 at Dec. 31,
1945 (in connection with the proposed re¬
financing the company intends to charge earned surplus with the
amount of approximately $1,900,000 to cover call premiums, issuance
expense,
duplicate interest and duplicate dividends).
In January,
1946, the company received $2,641,800 from the sale of 238,000 shares
of common stock.

the company's pipe line system delivered in excess of
an average of 200,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas per day.
Early in
1946 the compressor stations presently owned by the RFC and certain
additional units in the company's own compressor stations were put
into
operation and since March 1, 1946, the system has delivered in
excess of an average of 270,000,000 cubic feet per day.
1. The company sells a major portion oi Its gas to two principal cus¬
tomers—United Fuel Gas Co., a subsidiary of Columbia Gas & Electric
Corp., and Hope Natural Gas Co., a subsidiary of Consolidated Natural
Gas Co.
Such sales are made under contracts, which in each case
expire on Jan. 1, 1965, and provide for the sale of 100,000,000 cubic
feet daily (in part firm, and in part at the option of the purchaser),
ora total of 200,000,090 cubic feet daily.
Currently and for a limited
period, Hope Natural Gas Co. has released its rights to 10,000,000
cubic feet daily to Louisville Gas and Electric Co.
Subject to the
approval of the Federal Power Commission, United Fuel Gas Co. and
Rope Natural Gas Co. have entered into amendments to the existing
oontracts increasing the amount of gas taken (in part firm, and in
part at the option of the purchaser) to 115,000,000 cubic feet daily
to I>ec. 21, 1949, and thereafter to 125,000,000 cubic feet daily in
the case of Hope Natural Gas Co. and 125,000,000 cubic feet daily in
the case of United Fuel Gas Co.
In addition, United Fuel Gas Co.
has entereo into a further amendment to its existing contract with
the company which will become operative only upon the authorization
of facilities* and contracts by the Federal Power Commission which
will increase the amount to be delivered to United Fuel Gas Co. to
200,000,000 cubic fee* of natural gas per day (in part firm, and in
part at the option of the purchaser).
The company currently purchases all of its gas requirements.
Its
two principal gas purchase contracts, which expire Sept. 1, 1970, are
with The Chicago Corp. and Gulf States Oil Co.
Company also has 11
other gas purchase contracts.
At the present time the company
purchases the major portion of its gas from Chicago Corp. which

August 1945 the company has been engaged in changing over
to peacetime

the first quarter of this year.
Parts are now more readily available
and the management anticipate profitable operations commencing in
the'second quarter.
