According to the annual report to the stockholders of the American Ther- mos Bottle company, the corporation has done an unprecedented business in the past ye4r ending Dee. 31, 1912. Total earnings were $484,806.17 in 1911 and reached $686,180.24 in 1912, a gain of 41.54 per cent. At the same time the net has increased from 37.67 per cent. over 1911, Report Given. The following is the annual report Your board of directors in submit- ting their report of the operations of the company for the year ended Dec. 31, 1912, desire to call your attention to the following: In presenting the combined state- ment of the American Thermos Bottle company (of Maine) and your subsid- lary company, the American Thermos Bottle company of New York, we again call your attention to the fact that the latter company is owned in its entirety by your company and its entire capital stock of $50,000 is car- ried in vour treasury. Therfore all of the earnings of the American Ther- mos Bottle company of New York will go to your company either in the form of royalties or dividends. Two Accounts Merged. For the purpose of compariscn and in order to simplify this report, the accounts of the two companies are merged in the appended balance sheet, income account and profit and loss statement, just as if the new company had never been organized, as was done in the last annual report for tne year ended Dec. 31, 1911. The legal expenses for the year were $1908.25, which includes not only cost of infringement cases, maintaining of retail prices under our patent license, but also considerable work in connec- tion with new patents covering im- provemerits in articles your company manufactures: also process and ma- chines incident to production. In this connection it is our belief that our pat- ent protection has been very mater- ially increased during the year, and that future expenditures for the ad- judication when suits are contemplated and prosecuted, will be greatly. reduced as a result of the year’s expenditures. Net Profit $110,005.61. The combined income stalement shows a net profit for the year of $110,005.61, to which must be added contingent assets consisting of the controlling interest of the capital stock of the Thermos Bottle company, Ltd. of Canada, appraised at 50 per cent. of its par value, or $25,050, and the value of bonus contract with the Norwich Industrial Improvement cor- poration to the cash value of $75,000, making a grand total in the addition to the company's assets for the cur- rent vear of the sum of $210,055.61; or slightly over $21 per share on your company’s entire capital stock. There has been deducted from the income account the sum of $48,602.96 for ad- vertising expenditures, a large portion or all of which might be properly treated as an asset, inasmuch as we charge off nothing on account of pat- ent rights, good will, etc, we use this item as a proper offset, charging this item—as well as all legal expenses— off in their entirety as was done last year. Comparison of Sales. We present for comparison annual sales for the years 1908, 1910, 1911 and 1912. the net 1909, Net annual sales, 1908 $243,226.56 Net annual sales, 1909 .. 389,891.11 Net annual sales, 1910 . 381,184.01 Net annual sales, 1911 . 421.719.96 Net annual sales, 1912 .... 594,485.81 On the item of machinery and fix- tures—owing to contemplated imme- diate removal from New York city plant to our new factery located at the intersection of the Thames river, the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford railroad and Thermos avenue, at Norwich, Conn.—we have charged off for depreciation the sum of $8,000. Your president has recommended that in future 5 per cent. annually be writ- ten off on the item of machinery and fixtures. We further call your at- tention to the fact that under the item of deferred charges the amount ap- pearing is but $1543.91, ag against $4886.77 in the statement of the pre- ceding year. Income Account. Income account—Your ings have total earn- increased during the year fn 1911 to $686,180.24 per cent. The net :ased 37.67 per ceat. that of 1911. Increase Four-fold in Norwich, Attention is called to the fact that it was impossible to produce sufficient goods during the year to fill the de- mand;: this by reason of the fact that for handwork, expert glassblowers are over required, of which there are a limited H number available. TUnder the super- vision of your company’s engineer, W. R. Burrows, the semi-automatic ma- chines for the production of our pro- duct have been perfected and will be used for the production of our stand- ard product, thus enabling us to em- ploy the handworkers on speciai num- bers, and augmented by the large in- crease in floor space and other im- proved facilities of your company's new plant. our production will be in- creased fourfold frem the day of com- mencing operations in Norwich, with ample floor space and all other re- quirements to gradually add to pro- duction until increased tenfold of pres- ent capacity. The economy through the employ- ment of the machines, the removing from the expense account the item of rent, the improved transportation fa- cilities by rail and water, the reduction in the cost of electricity, gas, insur- ance and cartage, should materially in- crease the net profits of yvour com- pan Paid Extra Expenses Out of Profits. Your board of directors authorizes the expenditure of $50.000 on new plant—in addition to the $75,000 sup- plied by the Norwich Industrial Im- provement corporation—to be covered by the issuance of the company’s 6 per cent. notes to that amount. The expenditures to the close of business Dec. 31, 1912, on the item referred to were $27,7 , which were paid from vour profits, making it unnecessary to issue any of the notes thus far. Canadian Business Premising. The business of Thermos Bottle company, Ltd., of Canada—centrolled by your company-—shows a great im- provement over the year 1811, but ow- ing to the faet that home consump- tion of our preduct made it impossible te supply them with the merchandise they required to fill erders in hand, no profits accrued but the Canadian bus- inesg has béen placed in a pesition so that the present year gives every indieation of producing satisfactery re- turns. 4 Per Cent. Dividend Basiss. At a meeting of your beard of diree- ters held on this date, it was moved and seconded that the company go upeon a regular dividend basis ol 6 per cent. payable quarterly, commniencing April 1, 1913, to shareholders of rec- ord 10 days previeus to quarterly div- idend dates; but ar‘endment was of- fered, moved and Seconded that by reason of the impossibility of fixing the exact cost of removal expenditures and the equipment of the new factory at Norwich, ‘the dividend rate be fixed at 4 per cent. payable as above, and —— 485.81FORI9I2 any excess not actually required for the business will be paid to the share- holders in the shape of extra divi- dends. 3 . The excellent financial condition of your company at this date is evidenced by the fact that the only outstanding obligations of the company at the close of business Deec. 31, 1912, were for December purchases not Gue for discount.

MISS HOWE'S HISTORY Of Art Museum in New York—Work of Native of Norwich and Graduate of Academy. Misg Winifred B. Howe, the author of “A. History of the Metrepolitan Mu- seum of Art,”” which is attracting no little aftention because of its interest- ing chapter on the early institutions of art in New York city which pre- ceded the Metropolitan museum, as (well as by its story of the beginnings and growth ‘of that institution, is a sister of J. Olin Howe of this city, says the Waterbury American. Strangely enough, the first art mu- seum in New York was started by Tammany, and the Metropelitan is a direct outgrowth of that early set of collections which were placed under ene roof, that of the American mn- seum, threugh the broadside issued by the Tammany society, or Celumbian oxder, June 1, 1791. Tammany ia that early day proposed to collect and pre- serve “everything relating to the his- tery of Amuriea, likewise every Ameri- can produciion of nature er art. The Tammany society was “a fra- ternity of patriots” established four vears before, “solemnly consecrated to the” independence, the popular liberty and the federal union of the coun- try,” -and-its eobjects were “the smile 1 | | on the of charity, the chain of friendship and the flame of liberty.” In its Ameri- can museum it announced itself realy to place no limit on the gifts. “Every- thing, and from whatever clime, wiil be acceptable.” Connecticut has had no little part ir the shaping of the affairs of this i j museum and those others which fol- lowed and culminated in the splendid’ set of collections in the predent Metro- politan’s galleries. John ‘I'rumbuls ‘Wasgone of the early presidents of the Amerie Academy of Fine Arts, Samuel F. B. Morse made the sugges- tien on which the National Academy of Design was founded, Peter Cooper founded Cooper union and J. Pierpont Morgan has been for some years the president of the Metropolitan Museum corporation. Miss Howe, whose book presents an unusual collection of facts in a most entertaining style, is a native of Nor- wich, in this state, and a graduate of Norwich Free Academy and of Boston university. INSTRUCTIVE PAPERS WERE ILLUSTRATED BY TABLEAUX. Before Art Students’ Association at Slater Hall. The regular meeting of the Art Stu- dents’ association was held in Slater hall Monday evening, Mrs. Robert Perkins in the chair, and a good at- tendance present. Two very interest- ing and itsetructive papers were read by Mrs. Chzrles Richards on Greuze and Mme. Le Brun. In illustration of these papers Mrs. Lucius Briggs posed ir Mme. Le Brun's portrait of herself, and Miss Mildred Cary in L/Oiseau Mort. The tableaux were perfect in detail, and were in ¢harge of Mrs. W. Tyler Brown, Mrs. William Birge and Mrs. F. W. Cary.
