A PROSPEROUS INDUSTRY.

The last report of the Maypole Dairy-Company is a distinctly good one, for, following a slight set-back in 1926, the net profit for 1927 of 2531,000 exceeds even the figure for 1925 of £527,000. The general trade turnover seems to have been active, stocks being entered at 1752,000 against £49Q,000 in the previous year. The balance-sheet shows a strong position as regards cash, while Government Securities stand at £400,000.
