DESPITE THE WAR. NET PROF- , ITS INCREASED NEARLY FIVE j mil on nni i AHS. Hugo Cunliffe-Owen, vice president of British-American Tobacco company in this country, says: "This nas been our big year. For twelve months ended September 30 net profits, after all charges and income, tax, were $13,666,805, against $9,250,295 in previous year. An increase of close to $5,000,000, during the war period is a remarkable demonstration of possibilities of our company. ^ "A few days ago we declared a dividend of five per cent free of British income tax, upon ordinary shares. This made, with interim dividends, thirty per cent for year ended September 30 against twentytwo and a half per cent for year ended September 30, 1915. "Directors also took action on a further cash distribution of six per cent in an interim dividend for 1916 ' T>L:_ TT.;fV, m ana 1SJJLI. una uuiupaics mm m dividend of five per cent a year ago. /'Stockholders will also receive a bonus distribution of one ordinary Canadian share of $5 par for every four ordinary shares of BritishAmerican Tobacco company. Stock if Imperial Tobacco company is quoted at $4 to $5 a share,so that this distribution alone is equal to twenty per cent to twenty-five per cent on jtock of British-American concern. Including stock and rash, our distributions for the year just closed have amounted to at least fifty per cent, compared with twenty-two and a half per cent for 1915. "Everything is running smoothly. During the year we opened a large aew cigarette factory in the United States. Our cigarette production here is now double a year ago. "Other countries in which we are interested include China, India, Australia, South Africa, Egypt, Brazil, Argentina, England, Trinidad, Jamaica. New Foundland, Panama. Finland, Norway and Denmark. "Our big business is cigarette business, although our plug cut tales are large. We do some cigar business in Jamaica and Australia. "Our pay roll now probably includes "SO,000 employees. When the war started it was probably about 25,000. We have about 9,000 in England, and of these about 8,000 are women. Two years ago we saw the danger of conscription and arranged to replace the men with women. The women in many instances do the work fully as well as men. "When the war started we laid aside $7,500,000 for paying losses incurred through the war. So far we have not had to touch it. Our" plant is shut down in Belgium, but our investment there is comparatively small. "After paying ftna' dividend of five per cent and writing off $185,- ! I 1- 1- * ? Ka 1?Q US UUUK.
