The Chairman called for any questions or criticisms which those present might have and the affairs of the Company were fully discussed.

Mr. Bell made the suggestion that in handling finished stock the practical installation of automatic machinery and other labor saving devices should be considered, thus cutting down expenses by eliminating some of the handling of the ware. He also recommended that the selling organization be perfected to the highest point of efficiency possible in order not to accumulate so much finished stock.

There being no further business the meeting adjourned.
