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 military automotive equipment. facturers, a on the During the war, pioneered company in the a in the contracts of a present time the company has returned to the manufacture original line of upholstery padding and related items. its March stock siock. stock ommon Common * par) (no jjiij $1) shares INCOME None 25,800 shs. i.pri (par Including 3,381 Outstanding by STATEMENT the company YEARS as ENDED * 15140,991 si shs. treasury stock. 30 1945 (after sales Gross The Freight, returns and allowances $3,509,502 82,618 additional to share were for each share held.

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.
