II OPERATING STATEMENT
B. INCREASE IN SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE (continued)
A brief statement aa to cause of increase and comparative high level of Selling and Administration Expenses should admit to creeping increase largely tied to Salaries and other expenses of added people which are integral part of our growth program.
(A gradual increase from 11.5$ to Net Sales in 1951 to 15*7$ in 1958) The Jump in 1959 to published 18.8$ is due primarily to Chemurgy which as a division bad ratio well below 10$ so elimination raises over-all level and also leaves unabsorbed over head due to non-reinvestment of capital freed.
