ANNUAL REPORT SHOWS GROWTH OF INTERSTATE Serves 75,000 Customers With Electricity, Gas and Water, The annual report of Harry Reid, president of the Interstate Public Service Company, shows this organization has done a growing business during the past year. The report carries the following statements: “The Interstate Public Service Company was organized in 1912. In 1913 it served twenty six communities and operated the interurhan railway botween Indianapolis and Seymour. “On Jan. 1, 1923. the company serves directly by means of its own distribution systems 75,000 customers for electric, gas or water service in slxty-two communities and furnishes electric energy under wholesale contracts to thirty nine other communities, a total of 101 communities with combined population of over 220,000. In addition the company operates the interurban railway between Indianapolis and Louisville, and the city railway lines In New Albany. Jeffersonville and Columbus. "To furnish electric servvice to the various communities the company operates 636 miles of transmission lines interconnected to its several generating stations. This arrangement makes for economical operating conditions, permits quick increase in the amount of power delivered ta any point and enables the smaller Towns to enjoy twenty-four-hour service which would he Impossible if they had to depend on separate generating stations. The company issued and sold in 1922, $721,000 In par amount of its prior lien stock and $372,000 par value of its preferred stock: also $302,000 in principal amount of its first refunding mortgage 5 per cent gold. The prooeeds of these sales were used for the company's coporate purposes. The report showed an Increase of 25.51 per cent in the net earnings ever 1921. The stockholders increased in number from 1.009 to 1,980. The traction department of the Interstate Company has showed progress: contracts have recently been let for the construction of three all-steel buffet and parlor cars to be ready for service during the early part of August. Every convenience possible will be provided for the comfort of the Interstate traveling patrons. The freight business of the Interstate has also showed a remarkable growth. Anew service was Installed last month. It consists of a train leaving Louisville. Ky„ every night for Indianapolis and Detroit, Mich. A special car also leaves Louisville, every night for Dayton, via Indianapolis. These facilities have provided much greater speed In handling cars.

More than half our exports are sent to Europe; more than one-third of our Imports come from Europe.

PEAK OF BUSINESS IS NOT HERE, EXPERT SAYS Haney Thinks Industrial Expansion Will Continue Despite Some Adverse Conditions,

By DR. LEWIS H. HANEY, ! Director Bureau Business Research New York University. Written for the United Financial. NEW YORK, April 16.~-Why Is the t-tock market, In spite.of booming business, so Inclined to sag these days? • Seiiertvlly the average price of stocks forecasts the trend of business by several months, and there Is no reason to suppose the present time la an exception. The most reasonable answer to the question Is that the expansion which has been taking place in industry dur- ' hig the last ten or twelve months has been the basis for the great advance in stocks halted last September. The stock market in February had discounted recent business gains. New speculators and Investors are asking, where do we go from here? Will business continue to expand? Or will it swing down again according to past business cycles? Soma think one thing, some another, and meanwhile stocks drift uncertainly. Increase Output Reports of Increased output of volume of trade have ceased to cause optimism. Production of pig iron and steel ingots has lately again broken the record. In March contracts awarded for residential construction were the greatest ever recorded. Automobiles and cotton goods are being turned out at top speed. Railway car loadings In the last week of PAPER INDUSTRY SHOWS STRENGTH General Business Conditions Are Reflected by Trade, It is not generally realized how closely one business Is tlad up with 1 all other business interests. The pa-1 per business shows this influence In a marked degree; In fact, It has been considered a barometer for business in general. "When there Is brisk movement In our business." said Fred 8 Coffman, president and manager of the American Paper Stock Company, •'business in general wifi be on the up-grade. "Every business uses paper in some form or other, and much waste paper is the result. Spring la always a heavy season, because firms are undergoing housecleaning and we dispose of a part of their old files, ledgers and outgrown records. The average person appreciates the fact all reoords sent to us are destroyed, leaving no trace of their original purport. "Business has been improving during the past few months and we can see prospects for good business In the future." s FREQUENT RECORD RELEASE IS PLAN Brunswick Shop Adopts New Idea In Supplying Music, Realizing people wish to own things | while their popularity la still growing, the Brunswick phonograph peoplo have made a departure in releasing new records.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

March exceeded in number anything ever seen at this season. Employment, as reported by the Department of Labor, increased considerably in March. But the advance in prices which called for this flood of production has faltered and Is very Irregular. Moreover, it is noted that while the iron and steel business is working at capacity, new orders have fallen off. It is no secret that the present building boom wall probably come to an end this year on account of high prices caused by advancing wages and cost of materials. I have noticed tliat t’nroo auto manufacturers have recently become financially embarrassed. Crude oil over production has caused price cutting in the petroleum Industry this w r eek. The price of copper has receded slightly. \ age Advances Made Important wage advances have recently been made in the Iron and eteel and textile Industries. For the present these may be regarded as warranted by advancing prices. But back of them lies labor shortage.. Even the farmers axe beginning to see difficulties In getting labor. The Interest rate has climbed to a : point where speculators are in doubt I as to whether they can afford to carry stocks at their present yields. These are the re.-tsons why the stock market has been weak. I do not think the peak of the industrial j expansion has been reached. | the old system of releasing phonograph records only- once a month is an unnecessary evil. "Why should phonograph records be released only once a month, any more than books, for instance? And why should the public, when it goes crazv over a popular dance number, be compelled to wait, thirty days for it on a phonograph record? They have gone to the store once a month for new records In the past because they had to, not because they wanted to. Our plan will give them the service they want, namely, new records whilaj the number is still new and popular.

“Our sales this year have Leon very good. Brunswick phonographs come in period designs, console, cabinet, table top and portable models. “One of the secrets that has made the Brunswick method of reproduction a supreme achievement in record ed music la in the ova! all-wood tone amplifier. Another Is in the Brunswick Ultona, the all-rCcord reproducer. In other words, a Brunswick machine will play all records; Brunswick records can be played on all phonographs.” SPRINGS OF AUTO NEED ATTENTION Proper care of automobile springs fw of vastly more importance than most motorists realize, says William J. Ashley, president of the Indianapolis Auto Springs Company, 820 W. Washington St. "Asa result of improper attention and carelessness, automobile owners endure endless trouble aud are put to unnecessary expense In many instances simply because they fall to take Intelligent care of springs,’’ he adds. "A weak, lopsided, badly aligi cd spring seems to make little difference to many otherwise careful car- owners. "The damage resulting from bad springs la far reaching and often almost incalculable. Weakness In springs affects all parts of the car. I "We maintain a modern, thoroughly | equipped service station and employ' only workmen who are exports In this : particular line.”

IRE VARIETIES OF ICE CREAM ARE DEVELOPED Browder Describes Methods of Handling Milk in Plant of Which He Is Head, Rapid development of the ice cream business has been confined largely to the United States. One of the most interesting features about the Amerfj can cuisine to foreigners who are visiting in this country is the number of kinds and variety of ways ice cream becomes a part of our meal. J. P. Browder, president of the Browder Ice Cream Company, 918 N. Senate Ave.. say the ice cream business is no longer a business of summer only, as it was during the first days of its manufacture. “Food experts and scientists have proved the nutritive and beneficial value of ice cream as a diet in cases of invalidism. Children axe no longer restrained from satisfying their appetites for ice cream, as It has been conceded to be a food easily digested by children,” he said. "Our plant, has been In operation for over sixteen years, and we are equipped to handle any kind of orders. large or small. Wo have specialized on orders for parties and festive occasions for a number of years, and our regular seven-Jay delivery service facilitates promptness. "We pride ourselves upon our carefulness in handling all material* from the time the milk Is delivered to us to the time the ice cream is delivered to the customer. Upon arrival at our plant the milk Is immediately thoroughly pasteurized and sterilized. It ts then combined with other ingredients and put into the freezers, where it remains about twenty minutes. after expiration of which time, it comes out in one of two forms, brick or hulk. It is then taken to the cold storage room, where the process of hardening requires several hours. The finished product is then packed into the cans ready for delivery to the customer."

BETTER QUALITY PLUMBING USED Harry Callon Says Building Conditions Good, No part of the building and conI structlon business has made more extensive or more rapid growth than ! plumbing. To afford the greatest es, I llelency, the plumbing fixtures must l>e of a high order and must be ex- | pert.ly installed. Fixtures called for In a Job now are i much superior to those used a few years ago. This Is accounted for by the faot that all building is of a higher grade than that constructed several years ago. Harry Callon, Jr., of the firm of Callon Brothers, boating contractors and plumbers, said this firm Is Interested in commercial building almost entirely. "Only when a customer is a friend or acquaintance do wo take home Jobe, as we find we own do more effective work by specializing tn one type of work," he said. "We have in. -oiled plumbing and heating plants In a largo number of hotels and clubs during the past few months. "Our own business is closely allied to the general building situation. The building situation is enoouraglng just now, ns It has been for the past several months. We see nothing that will tend to check It in the near future.”
