ALLIED INDusnum. SERVICES Once again that progressive little company, Allied

Industrial Services, has earned a substantially increased profit, thus maintaining its unbroken record of progress over four years. Profits for the year ended June 30 were £204,695, compared with L159,901 in the previous year. The company, which provides service supplies such as overalls, and working garments to workers in factories, has doubtless profited by the high level of industrial activity. The final dividend is to be 36 per cent. making 50 per cent. for the year. This is a lower rate per cent, than in the previous year, when 70 per cent, in all was distributed. But the additional ordinary shares issued as an 87f per cent. free capital bous a year ago, rank for the past year's dividends, so that the actual disbursement in dividends is much larger.
