VALDESE MILL'S STOCKOFFERED Pilot Puts Shares on Market Through Syndicate; No New Financing. Pilot Full Fashion Mills, Inc., of Valdese, formally announced Sat urday an issue of 15,000 shares, 6V2 per cent cumulative preferred stock, par value $20, and 60,000 shares, common stock, par value $1 a share. Among the underwriters are R. S. Dickson and company, Scott, Horner and Mason, the Southern Investment company, of Char lotte. The prospectus states that the offering includes only outstanding shares and does not represent any new financing by the company. The 15,000 shares of preferred stock with the 60,000 shares of common stock represent an esti mated price to the public of $600, 000. None of the proceeds of the offering, it is said, will be received by Pilot Full Fashion Mills, Ihc. The mills have 85 full fashion knitting machines, hailed as the most modern in the industry, and the company employs 750 persons. The material growth on the in dustry in the South, it is said, has been at the expense of other sec tions of the country, and produc tion capacity as a whole has not been greatly enlarged. According to figures in possession of the un derwriters, more than 90 percent of the full fashion capacity is in use. Hence, there is no serious threat of overproduction, unless a great number of additions to the productive capacity are made. The mills in the United States today are producing 40,000,000 dozen full fashion hose annually. Bowling Tourney Plans Completed Many Local Entries to Par ticipate in Tournament Here On Saturday.
