THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[August 1, 1920. 



weather, and the steadily increasing output of tires resulting from 

 operation of new plants nearing completion, should bring sales this 

 year close to $300,000,000, a $75,000,000 increase over last year 

 and two and one-half times business in 1916. After almost four 

 years of no dividends on the common, disbursements at annual 

 rate of $8 a share were resumed last October. As a further 

 reward to junior shareholders a stock dividend of Uyi per cent 

 was declared in January. It is not unlikely that another stock 

 distribution will be made before the end of this year. 



Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. expects to earn $30,000,000 be- 

 fore federal taxes this year. This would be equivalent to about 

 $42 a share on 618,900 shares of common which will be outstand- 

 ing on conclusion of present financing and payment of ISO per 

 cent stock dividend declared last month. The company has been 

 paying common dividends at annual rate of $12 a share in cash 

 since 1900. In the same period 450 per cent in stock dividends 

 has been distributed. 



The B. F. Goodrich Co. will do a business this year approxi- 

 mately three times greater than in 1916 and net profits before 

 federal taxes, estimated to reach $18,000,000. will be almost double 

 1916 net of $9,568,764. Although the company was obliged to 

 do some financing recently, issuing $30,000,000 five-year 7 per 

 cent notes, the common was placed on a $6 a share annual divi- 

 dend basis in January, compared with previous rate of $4 a share. 



Kelly-Springfield Tire Co. has not shown an increase in earn- 

 ings in the same proportion as the others, for the reason that 

 its manufacturing capacity has not been expanded. It has under 

 construction a new plant at Cumberland. Maryland, which will 

 have a capacity greater than all its existing plants. The new 

 factory will not be completed before end of this year, but Kelly- 

 Springfield should show results of this development in 1921.

SIXTH NATIONAL EXPOSITION OF CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES. 



Returning to New York City, the Sixth National Ex- 

 position of Chemical Industries will open in Grand Central 

 Palace, September 20 and continue until September 25, inclusive. 

 The expansion in the chemical industry, as shown by the increased 

 number of exhibitors, necessitates tht use of four floors in the 

 Palace, and applications for space are still being received almost 

 daily, so great is the interest in the exposition. Total applica- 

 tions for space up to June 30, were 358, which is a new record. 

 The exposition this year will be more pretentious than ever ; 

 in fact, it will be the largest distinctly industrial exposition ever 

 held, and will surpass its own predecessors by one-third. 



Two new sections will feature the exposition this year. These 

 are the Fuel Section and the Materials Handling Section. Both 

 are considered very important. The business side of the exposi- 

 tion will have many interesting features. These include sessions 

 on subjects which will be developed in the two new sections of 

 the exposition, and sessions on chemical engineering for which 

 elaborate programs have been planned. Motion pictures which 

 will have keen interest for technical men, will be part of the pro- 

 gram and there will also be addresses for the education of the 

 public.
