THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[September 1, 1920. 



the retail prices of its products put into etifect last March, 

 coupled with the. fact that raw materials, especially rubber, are 

 becoming somewhat cheaper, should result in an increased ratio 

 of profit on sales during the balance of this year. 



On estimated sales of $90,000,000 in the first half of this year 

 net profits, after preferred dividends but before Federal taxes, 

 were at the annual rate of $21.60 a share on 600,000 shares of no 

 par value common stock. This compares with $25.09 a share 

 earned in 1919, the best year in the company's history. 



In order to provide for expansion the International India Rub- 

 ber Corporation, of South Bend, Indiana, which was incorporated 

 for $1,000,000 under the laws of Delaware in 1915, on February 

 7, 1920, increased the capital stock to $2,500,000. by the addition 

 of 60,000 shares, second issue, non-voting common stock of the 

 par value of $25 per share. The sales earnings in 1917 were 

 $107,333.52; in 1918, $155,646.81; and in 1919, $673,069.35. Up to 

 March 1, 1920, sales were running more than 300 per cent of 

 those for the same period of 1919 and the sales for 1920 are 

 estimated at $3,000,000.

AMERICAN DUNLOP BUILDINGS NEARING 

 COMPLETION. 



WORK on the new Dunlop tire plant in the United States, to 

 be operated under the name of Dunlop Tire & Rubber Co., 

 is progressing very rapidly. 



The site embraces 214 acres on River road, half a mile north 

 of the city line, Buffalo, New York. Its location on the Niagara 

 river insures adequate water supply and direct rail communica- 

 tion to all parts of the country. Electric current will come from 

 Niagara Falls and Bufifalo. Some steam power will be used, 

 however. 



The plant consists of nine factory buildings, 560 by 120 feet, 

 and a warehouse four stories high, 546 by 162 feet, the whole 

 provid,ing a floor space of .30 acres. The factory buildings are 

 one-story monitor type, of structural steel with concrete founda- 

 tions, and the warehouse is of concrete. The plan shows an ar- 

 rangement in groups, each of three parallel buildings so spaced 

 that the capacity of the plant can easily be doubled by the addi- 

 tion of duplicate buildings. Employes will pass to their respective 

 places through covered roadways connecting the buildings, ma- 

 terials and fini.-ihcd products being transported through the same
