Dana Corporation ends 1980

Dana Corporation recently announced a 40 cent per share quarterly dividend to be paid on December 15 to shareholders of record on November 26. The December payment will bring total dividends paid in calendar 1980 to $1.59, versus $1.46 in 1979. Dana has paid dividends regularly for 43 years. Benjamin F. Bailar, executive vice president and director of U.S. Gypsum Company, was elected a Dana director. He served as U.S. postmaster general from 1975 until 1978. He is a University of Colorado and Harvard Graduate School of Business graduate. Fiscal year sales ending on August 31 were $2.52 billion, compared to 1979’s $2.76 billion. The year’s earnings, which ended August 31, 1980, were $95.7 million, or $2.78 per share, compared to last year’s $164.2 million or $5.03 per share. Dana president Gerry Mitchell

said sales for the industrial service and international groups recorded substantial gains from last year. Industrial sales were S6OB million, up 7 per cent; service sales amounted to $794 million, up 30 per cent, and with additional consolidation help, international sales hit $640 million, up 41 per cent. He noted that even though these substantial gains were made, they were insufficient to overcome the severe fall-off in light truck market sales. Domestic light truck factory sales were down 50 per cent from the 1978 record levels. “The development of our industrial area is proceeding well,” Mitchell said. “With the addition of Tyrone Hydraulics and Lantex and the expected addition of Gresen, we can now supply the complete hydraulic package.

to compete at all levels of this rapidly growing industry. There has never been a greater need for productivity improvement than now. The growing requirement for capital investment will provide an enormous market for equipment that will meet this need. The addition of these hydraulic and electronic products to the Dana line enables us to participate fully in the machinery, equipment and mobile off-highway markets. ” Looking at the light truck market, Mitchell observed Dana sales are slightly increasing from the fiscal 1980’s last quarter. In addition, light truck dealer inventories are down substantially. This means any increase in truck sales will quickly be reflected in Dana's production schedules. Service and industrial have somewhat softened in recent months, but should recover and continue to rapidly grow as the economy recovers.

Augsburger 7 s store adds energy-saving measures

By TERRI CHILCOTE Augsburger’s Supermarket in Syracuse will hold its grand opening this week end to show off its newly remodeled and expanded interior. The remodeling project involves more than just giving the Syracuse store a new face. John B. Augsburger, owner, made energy-conserving improvements. Augsburger doubled the store’s frozen food section, but installed freezers with doors to conserve energy instead of using open freezers. , ' Other conservation measures not readily visible to shoppers include a heat reclaim system and an extra layer of styrofoam insulation in the walls. The heat reclaim system takes heat from the refrigeration compressors and recycles it throughout the store to help heat it. Before, the heat from the compressors was blown outside by exhaust fans, explained Augsburger. Instead of burning scrap paper like before, Augsburger’s now has a paper baler which bales paper for recycling. In the storage room, Augsburger has installed a device that saves human energy —a palletized unloading system. The new system includes an elevator lift that can be elevated to the level of the delivering semitrailer. Workers merely load the lift with cases, lower it and remove the cases for storage. Before the cases had to be pushed down a conveyor one at a time. The new unloading system cuts unloading time from over an hour to about 15 minutes. Visible changes in the store include a different floor arrangement, an expanded meat department and a relocated and newly redecorated bakery and delicatessen. The Augsburger’s Supermarkets, one located in Syracuse and one in North Webster, have been part of the Lakeland community longer than some of the natives. The original Augsburger’s grocety store was located in Milford. The store got its start as a small restaurant, or "lunch room,” operated by Augsburger’s grandmother, the late Mrs. Charles (Grace) Bird, in the early 19305. The restaurant was located on SR 15 near the Milford Junior High, then the Milford School with all 12 grades attending there. Since there was

no school lunch program in those days, the restaurant catered to school children who often ate theirdunches there. Soon Mrs. Bird began to sell pencils, paper, erasers and other school supplies. Then for the convenience of nearby housewives, she started selling milk and bread. In 1936, the late Mr. and Mrs, John F. Augsburger took the business over, phased out the restaurant and turned it into a full-fledged grocery store. The store soon grew into'a* supermarket and in 1961 the Augsburgers built a new store in Milford — the same building that now houses Schwartz’s Supermarket. A few years later, in 1965, the business was expanded as a second store was opened in Syracuse and a third store was added in North Webster in 1971. The Milford store was sold in 1978 to Ron Schwartz. John B. Augsburger became actively involved in the business in 1956 after graduating from Indiana University. He gradually took over the supermarket chain when his father was elected to the Indiana State Senate in 1968. The younger Augsburger continued to follow in his father’s footsteps when he was elected to the State Senate in 1976, taking over the seat vacated by the retiring elder Augsburger. The senior Augsburger died February 27, 1979. The younger Augsburger and his wife, Oweita, reside at r 4 Syracuse and have three daughters, Kimberly Evans, 24; Kerri Ann, 22; and Angela Joyce, 17.
