A GOOD REPORT.

The latest annual Report of the Crittall Manufacturing Company, Limited, is a decidedly good one, the profits of 1163,000 showing an increase of nearly 150,000. After paying the dividend on the Preference shares and placing £70,000 to the General Reserve and £25,000 to Depreciation Reserve, 15 per cent. is paid on the Ordinary share capital, leaving £29,273 to be taken forward as against only £15,355 a year ago. The year's trading appears to have been excellent, and it is satisfactory to note that, with increasing prosperity, the directors are now considering the creation of a fund for the benefit of the employees. At the next meeting shareholders Will be asked to sanction the allocation of a certain sum to form the nucleus of such a fund.
