The company had a net profit, after taxes and charges, for Oc¬ tober and November, 1946, of $93,284. This compared with $99,441 in the like 1946 period. During .the first two months of the 1947 fiscal year, however,'the company's activities were curtailed by a strike which, it is estimated, cost in the neighborhood of $40,000. ,s Gross sales before taxes, in the first quarter of-the current fiscal ,.year were $3,407,848, compared with $2,789,137 in the like 1946 period.

Em- Jployees who will have been with the company during four of the six months' period, and in the company's employ at the time of dis¬ tribution of the funds, will be eligible for the bonus. The new bonus system is the direct result of a greatly increased production of motors during the last three months of 1946. When Mr. Bland and his associates assumed ownership and man¬ agement of the plant last April, production was at a standstill. The company was in the grip of a two months' strike and was definitely ■ In the red. widespread strikes in steel and copper industries and re¬ shortages of raw materials added to the production problems. Mr. Bland scoured the country for all short materials and was suc¬ cessful in obtaining them. Production increased under the new regime, despite obvious shortages, and it was not long before the huge fcacklog of orders began to shrink. Mr. Bland, who is also President of Bland Industries, states that the company is now in the process of retooling and installing new machinery and methods.—V. 147, p. 125.
