Objections to confirmation of the plan had been raised by two groups

gradually from the beginning to the end
of the year.
In spite of many difficulties, the Toothmaster Division
made some progress.
During the year the company also paid a high
rate of interest to the finance company which was advancing funds
needed in the company's expanding operation.
This connection was
terminated Just before the end of the fiscal year and arrangements
made with two Chicago banks to provide the company with its current
financial requirements at a rate less than half that previously paid
by the company.
