In The Motor And Business World Montgomery Ward Operates At Profit In the second-quarter period Montgomery Ward appears to have established its "pay point," or the point at which all operating ex penses and overhead costs can he covered, at a sales volume averag ing about $19,000,000 a month. In ventory adjustments seem to have played relatively little part in deter mining results lor the quarter. Results for the first and second quarter together indicate that with reasonable good sales the balance of the year, the 1931 earnings may approximate class A dividends re quirements. Buick Motor Co. Continues Operation Buick Motor Co.'s annual inven tory will be taken in September this year Instead of December as here tofore, Pres. Strong stated. Change was made to conform with previous ly announced change in new-model policy under which new Buick mod els will be brought out in Decem ber instead of midsummer.

In i the first six months, net profits were $4 210,909, equal to $1.4« per share on the common, against 3,407,-. 400, or $114 per common share a year ago. Penney, better than any either company yet reported, illustrates a trend in the merchandising field which has won for this group dis tinctly Increased Investment favor Retailing companies have pruned operating costs to the bone; many have handled a greater volume of goods than ever before, particularly the chain distributors of low-priced merchandise; and they have ab sorbed the greater part of their necessary price reductions.
