Kendall earns One-fifth more The Kendall Company’s earn ings increased 21 per cent on a 10 per cent gain in sales for the second quarter (12 weeks) of 1972, Kendall president, Willard M. Bright said today. For the first half (24 weeks) of 1972, Kendall’s earnings were up 30 per cent on a 13 per cent sales increase. Kendall had second-quarter sales of $73,753,000 and earn ings of $2,946,000 or 45 cents per share, whereas for the si milar period of 1971 sales to talled $67,076,000 and earnings were $2,439,000 or 37 cents per share. Sales of $146,063,000 for the first half of the year produced earnings of $5,769,000 or 87 cents per share; in 1971, first half sales were $129,058,000 and earnings were $4,428,000 or 67 cents per share. Dr. Bright said that nearly all of Kendall’s product lines had seen increased sales for the second quarter, although “the rate of increase in total sales has been slowed by the phasing out of our apparel fa brics line, in accordance with our previously announced pro gram. “Export sales of pipeline coatings were also down from last year,” Dr. Bright said, “however, shipments under a large contract will begin in the third quarter and extend well into 1973. Consequently, 1972 sales of these products are ex pected to exceed 1971 volume.” As previously announced, spe cial meetings of stockholders of Kendall and of Colgate-Palmo live Company will be held on August 16 to consider the pro posed merger of Kendall into a newly-organized subsidiary of Colgate.
