annual meeting of stockholders, held on April 27, Stuart M.
President, reported the following preliminary figures:
"The
consolidated
Income
statement for this corporation and subsidiary
companies for the first quarter of 1945 will show that the gross
revenues
Increased
approximately $900,000
over
the corresponding
period of 1944.
The consolidated net income, however, decreased
slightly, due to increased operating costs. '
"For the 12-month period ended March 31, 1945, the gross revenues
decreased from $139,721,000 to $138,743,000.
The net income, however,
Increased from $13,207,000 to $13,553,000, equivalent to 58 cents per
share of common stock outstanding, as compared to 55 cents per share
for the same period of 1944, after restating the 1944 figures, prin¬
cipally to reflect substantial tax adjustments made late in that year."

Laboratories, Inc„ of Detroit,

35-year-old

the

Truscon

specialists in the manufacture of water-and-damp-proofingj
products.
R
A. Plumb, first and only President of Truscon Laboratories, will

division of Devoe & Raynolds,
G. L. Turner, Vice-President and
production superintendent, and J. J.
Super, Vice-President and Treasurer, will also remain.
The general
policies of the former company will be unchanged, Mr. Phillips said,;
Truscon
Laboratories, with a nine-acre plant in Detroit, and
14
branch offices in the United States, reported sales of $2,300,000 in
1944.
It evolved from a cement testing division established in 1906
for the Truscon Steel Co., then known as the Trussed Steel Co.
As
part of its consultation service in connection with reinforced concrete,
the division in ,1910 began to develop water-proofing products which
filled a need in the construction field.
In 1S36, following the merger
of the
Truscon Steel Co. with Republic Steel,
Truscon stockholders
acquired the laboratories and set it up as an independent company.
Devoe & Raynolds last year reported sales of $20,743,322.—V. 161,

engines was reported by the War Department to be adequate at the
end of the year, and the changeover to rocket motor production was
made without loss of time. As a result, the company has, in effect, suc¬
cessfully undergone the long anticipated reconverstion from peak war¬
time mass production to a more normal volume of output.
This change
faces the aviation industry in general as the success of the war in
Europe becomes more apparent daily, Mr. Harris stated.
The company executed in August, 1944, a final renegotiation settle¬
ment for the year
1942, increasing the gross renegotiation refund for
that year to $4,750,000, an increase of $250,000 over the amount pro¬
vided
in
the tentative
renegotiation settlement for 1942 which had
been executed in September, 1943.
This final settlement reduced the
net income for
1942 to $1,657,124, or $2.68 a share after pcst-war
credit, and to $1,116,552, or $1.80 a share before post-war credit.
This
compares with net income of $1,708,478, or $2.76 a share after post¬
war credit,
and of $1,148,291, or $1.85 a share before post-war credit,
as
reported tentatively for 1942 in the company's 1943 annual report,

report,

the War Department Price Adjustment
Board has determined, as a result of renegotiation pursuant to the Re¬
negotiation Act, that no excessive profits were realized in 1943 by
Stone & Webster Engineering Corp, wholly-owned subsidiary, from its
renegotiable business.
The report adds that government contract
earnings for 1944 are subject to renegotiation, but that on the basis
of the renegotiation proceedings which have been completed with re¬
spect to earnings for 1942 and 1943 it would not appear that 1944
earnings could be held to include any excessive profits.
