ALLIED INDUSTRIAL SERVICES

Allied Industrial Services, whose business is to supply overalls and working garments to factories and workshops, has enjoyed another excellent year. At the meeting last week the chairman, Mr. W. H. Rhodes, announced that the profit had risen to £204,695, an increase of L44,794. It will be recalled that the company has recently made a total distribution of 50 per cent., which is a considerably larger effective dividend than the previous year's 70 per cent., because a capital bonus of 871 per cent. was distributed a year ago. In the current year, which began on June 30, business has so far been satisfactory.
