A—2 PAINT INDUSTRY SHOWS BIG GAINS Profits in First Half of 1937 Reported Near Pre- Depression Levels. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, October 4—Over the | past four vears manufacturers of | paint and varnish have enjoyed strik- ing gains, it is pointed out in a new gtudy appearing in Poor's Industry and Investment Surveys. Profits in the first half of 1837 approached pre-depression levels. Al- though still running ahead of 1936, demand for paint has shown some tendency to ease as the anticipated boom in home building has flattened out. “In the first six months of 1937, sales totaled $226.000,000, a gain of 19 per cent over the figure for the corresponding 1936 period,” continues the survey. “This approached the peak first-half level of $232,000,000 recorded in 1929 Although costs have risen materially in the recent past, and although retail prices have advanced only moderately, the aver- Age company continues to report good earnings gains. “In recent months, paint sales have displayed some hesitation, and there is distinct likelihood of further reces- ®ion over the coming months. Never- theless, from a long-range viewpoint, the industry is favored by several factors: (1) conservative capital struc- ture, (2) adequate treasury condition, (3) a relatively firm price structure which restrains inventory losses on Industrial Rate Expected to Hold At Steady Levels Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, October 4.—In spite of wide divergence in the rates of pro- duction in various important indus- tries, the composite outlook for in- dustrial output in October is that it will be the same as in September, according to the monthly statistical summary of the Standard Statistics Co. ‘That company’s production index for October is estimated at 95.0, against 95.7 in September and 91.0 and 92.2 in September and October, | 1936. The index is based on the aver- age of 1926 taken as 100. It is estimated that steel produc- tion last month was at the rate of 76 per cent of capacity, and while this is considerably below the levels of preceding months, it still com- pares favorably with year earlier fig- ures of 74.1 per cent. The steel fore- cast for October is 68 per cent of capacity, but this may be somewhat higher if business sentiment improves over the near term.

NEW YORK, October 4. —September proved a disappointment to those who looked for prompt acceleration of business activity after the vacation period, the National City Bank of New York reported today in its monthly survey of economic conditions. Instead of this expected pick-up, the survey said, “early reports from the industries have shown considerable irregularity.” “The manufacturing industries,” it continued, “operated at a very high rate during the Summer to catch up with orders on hand and in some cases to make up time lost in strikes, but they were selling less than they were producing and making steady in- roads on their unfilled orders. “Now they, are in need of new busi- ness. However, market conditions thus far have tended to hold buying within conservative limits. For the first time in three years the Fall pick- up has been sluggish, and in some | quarters & moderate shortening of | running time is being put into effect.” | The recent stock market decline, the survey declared, inspired caution,f for “new enterprise is not likely to go ahead confidently while the markets | are inviting attention to the uncer- tainties and weak spots rather than | to the fivorable aspects of the situa- | tion.” !

Freshly Killed ALL of the hair which is on your scalp today will fall out and will be replaced by new hair within the next four years. This normal “hair cycle” continues as long as your scalp is healthy. Baldness comes when some local scalp disorder (such as dandruff) keeps the hair-growing structure from replacing the hair which reaches maturity and falls out. To avoid baldness you must help your scalp to re-grow 81 hairs each day — 886,950 during the “danger age” —20 to 50. The Thomas’ can help you by overcoming any and all of the l"iy local scalp disorders which may be leading you to baldness. When you start Thomas treatment, your dandruff disappears, abnormal hair-loss stops, and new hair starts to grow on the thin = and bald spots. You need a good head of hair— and you can have it!
