WHAT IS A SURPLUS, Probably one of the most com mon terms used in business that is most generally misunderstood by the lay public is the word “sur plus.” Many people seem to think it represents a huge pile of money lying around idle. Some people think it means excess profit or ex cess money in the bank or excess something else that is not needed. Surplus for a business organiza tion really means about the same as savings for a family. The ac cumulated savings of a family through the years may be repre sented by a house and lot, house hold appliances and furniture, in surance, an automobile, stocks and cash in the bank. The savings of a business con cern—or surplus—represents about the same type of things—land and buildings, machinery, tools, stocks, or raw materials, and working funds to carry on the business —in fact, all of the things which have been added as the business grew. In the last General Motors finan cial statement of June 30, 1938, the earned “surplus” was given as $401,765,828. This means, in sim ple terms, the earnings that have been put back into the business to provide better facilities, make more jobs and opportunities for work- QCQEZXiniEZCg) ’Twas at the school, on opening day; First meeting of the P.-T.
