PITTSBURGH GLASS

Activities This Year Are Below Those of 1937.

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 23 (U. P.).— The upward trend in demand for products of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co., is expected to “be extended well through the new year,” H, S. Wherrett, president of the company, declared today. While activities of the company for the first eight months of 1938 were below that dyring the same period of 1937, an improvement in the demand for the company’s products was noticed since Sept. 1, Wherrett said in a statement accompanying dividend checks sent to stockholders. The board of directors Nov. 10 declared a cash dividend of $1.00. “The outlook for 1939 is hopeful and although there may be some temporary interruption in the progress of recovery, it is reasonable to expect that the upward trend gained headway during the past few months will be extended well through the new year,” Wherrett stated. But he added that even with the improvement during the latter part of the year, “the results for 1038 will not eompare favorably with the 1937 earnings.”
