In addressing shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Amalgamated Press, Limited, Lord Camrose stated that the profit figure for the past year of 1781,649 was substantially less than in previous years, but he thought that having regard 'to the exceptional depression the results must be regarded as very satisfactory. After paying a final dividend of 6 per cent. on the Ordinary shares, making 11 per cent, for the year, £150,000 is added to the reserve, raising it to 1750,000, and 1149,000 is carried forward. Lord Camrose gave some interest- ing figures showing the growth in circulation of many of the journals and periodicals owned by the undertaking.
