Net worth of the company on Dec. 31,
1947, was $36,496,068 with
current assets of $33,526,995, including tax and government securities
of $12,335,702.
Current liabilities were $13,503,428.
In
April, 1946, the shareholders of the company furnished about
$9,500,000 which was then the sum necessary to carry out the com¬
pany's postwar expansion program. That money, plus $2,000,000 more,
has now been spent and the company expects to spend an additional
$3,500,000 in 1948 to complete this expansion program.
J. O. Eaton, Chairman, stated:
"We began the new year with good
equipment', sound financial condition, and expanding production and
excellent customer relations.
Therefore, we look hopefully forward to a
year of good business in 1948, of prosperity for employees, customers
and shareholders and the good will of each for the other."—V. 166,
