ment of Emmet French, deceased,
late of Moore County, North Car-
plina, this is to notify all persons

bar of their recovery. AU persons
indebted to said estate will please

V This 10th day of July 1947.
CLARA LOUISE FRENCH, EX
ECUTRIX UNDER THE LAST
WILL AND TESTAMENT OF
EMMET FRENCH, DECEASED.
J11,A15
at $3,384,915, after taxes on net
sales of $17,012,532, for the six
months ending May 31. That is
equivalent to $4.47 a share on
the company's $5 par common
stock.
The $4.47 a share earning com
pares with $1.29 a share for the
same period in 1946.
Colonials Mills stock was quot
ed around $16 a share on the
New York curb exchange last
week. It enjoyed a recent raise
of about $3 a share.
On the old yardstick of 10
times earnings used in fixing
values of stocks i n the more
stable industries, the indicated
gross income of Colonial Mills
give its certificates a current
worth far in excess of the quota
tions. However, the textile bus!
ness has heretofore been consid
ered a “feast or famine” industry,
which accounts for the low earn
ings ratio.
Colonials Mills, of which W.
P. Saunders is -the executive vice-
presideiit, is winning natior^l
recognition in investment circles
as one of the most substantial
and better managed of the in
tegrated textile industries that
have recently sprung into exist
ence. While Saunders declines to
discuss the rriatter, it is locally
believed that Coonials Mills plan
a tremendous post war expans
ion program which may benefit
other Moore county localities be
sides Robins.
Announcement of the record-
breaking six months earnings wiis
accompariied by the declaratidh
of the usual quarterly dividend
of 21 cents per share. ' ’
