IMPORTANT
Doehler-Jarvis Corporation has approximately 5,660 shareholders, of whom approximately 4,860 own less than 200 shares each. This makes it impor tant that proxies be returned by every shareholder who cannot attend the meeting, whether the particular shareholding is of one or many shares.
DOEHLER-JARVIS CORPORATION
Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders To Be Held February 6, 1953 and PROXY STATEMENT
A Special Meeting of Shareholders of DOEHLER-JARVIS CORPORATION, a Michigan corporation, will be held at the office of the Corporation, No. 1501 Paris Avenue, S. E., Grand Rapids, Michigan, at 11' o'clock A. M., on February 6, 1953, for the following purposes:
(1) To consider and act upon a proposal that: (a) the Corporation sell all its property and assets, including its good-will, to National Lead Company, a New Jersey corporation, substantially upon the terms and condi tions set forth in an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between National Lead Company and the Corporation dated January 2, 1953 (referred to below as the "Agreement"), the provisions of which are summarized below and copies of which will be available at the meeting; and
(b) upon the consummation of the aforesaid sale of assets, the Corporation be dissolved; and
(2) To transact such other business as may lawfully come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.
The transfer books will not be closed but only such holders of Common Stock as are holders of record at the close of business on December 29, 1952 will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL TO SELL ASSETS TO NATIONAL LEAD COMPANY AND TO DISSOLVE THE CORPORATION
The performance of the Agreement entered into between the Corporation and National Lead Company (referred to below as "National") is subject to approval by shareholders of the Corpora tion as described below.
Briefly, the Agreement provides that: (1) The Corporation will sell, transfer and deliver to National all of its property and assets
of every kind and nature, including its good-will; (2) National will assume all of the debts and liabilities of the Corporation;
1
NL 000040642
(3) Upon the consummation of the sale of the Corporation's assets to National, the Corpo ration will be dissolved and National shall cause shares of its Common Stock to be issued and delivered to the Corporation's shareholders at the rate of 1.15 shares thereof for each share of Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding on a date to be selected by the Corporation (which shall be approximately the date of the sale of assets) and entitled to participate in the distribution. Scrip certificates will be issued in lieu of fractional shares.
The scrip certificates when combined with other scrip certificates of like tenor representing one or more full shares of Common Stock of National will be exchangeable for shares of Common Stock of National together with all dividends paid to the scrip agent with respect to such shares. They will be in bearer form and will not entitle the bearer to any dividend rights except as referred to above, or any voting rights or other rights of stockholders. The scrip certificates will be exchangeable for Common Stock for approximately two years after the date of issue (at which time the underlying Common Stock will be sold and the proceeds distributed upon surrender of the scrip) and will become void for all purposes approximately six years after the date of issue.
The Agreement contains various representations and conditions, including the obtaining of the requisite statutory votes of the shareholders of the Corporation and a condition that the number of shares of stock of the Corporation, the holders of which shall have voted against the sale of assets and shall have demanded payment of the fair cash value of their shares within the time and in the manner provided by the Michigan General Corporation Act as more fully herein after set forth, shall not be greater than shall be acceptable to National in its sole judgment, provided that if such number be not acceptable National shall notify the Corporation to that effect within ten days after such number shall have been determined, or such later date as may-j be mutually agreed upon. National has advised the Corporation that its present intention is that it would proceed with the Agreement if the holders of not more than five per cent of the shares of Common Stock of the Corporation vote against the sale and demand payment as afore said. The Agreement is also conditioned upon a ruling by the Federal Bureau of Internal Revenue to the effect that the transaction will be tax-free for income and capital grains tax purposes.
The Agreement further provides that it may be abandoned by either party if prior to the closing representations made by the other party shall prove substantially untrue or the other party shall suffer loss by calamity, substantially and adversely affecting the value of its assets or business, and that the Agreement shall terminate when and if it is determined that the conditions precedent will not be complied with and, in any event, if the closing does not take place prior to April 1, 1953 or such later date as the parties may agree.
The Board of Directors of the Corporation has unanimously approved the Agreement, stating that it deemed the proposed sale of assets expedient and for the best interests of the Corporation and has authorized the proper officers of the Corporation to carry out the provisions of the Agreement subject to the performance of the terms and conditions set forth therein.
OUTSTANDING VOTING STOCK AND VOTE REQUIRED
The Corporation has issued 1,074,544 shares of Common Stock, of which 6,902 shares are held in its treasury, leaving a balance of 1,067,642 shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Each shareholder of record is entitled to one vote for each share held.
Approval of the proposal with respect to the sale of assets will require the authorization by affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation and approval of the proposal with respect to the dissolution of the Corporation will require the authorization by affirmative vote of the holders of three-
2
NL 000040643
fourths of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation. Since the Agreement is conditioned upon the requisite statutory approval of both transactions, the sale of assets will not be completed unless the dissolution of the Corporation is so authorized.
Section 73 of the Michigan General Corporation Act provides that within thirty days after the dissolution a certificate, signed by the holders of at least three-fourths of the outstanding stock of the Corporation shall be filed with the Michigan Corporation and Securities Commission and a duplicate original thereof with the county clerk where its registered office is located, showing that all the debts and liabilities have been paid or provision for the payment thereof made and the assets have been distributed pro rata among the shareholders or provision for such distribution made. The enclosed form of proxy authorizes the persons named therein to sign such certificate.
BASIC REASONS FOR SALE OF ASSETS
In the opinion of the management of the Corporation, the following are basic reasons for and advantages of the proposed sale of assets of the Corporation:
1. Both National and the Corporation are in the metal field. Each has recorded an out standing success. The consolidation of the businesses of the two companies is a logical one and their joint efforts should produce greater accomplishments. Although the products of the two companies differ, both companies are experienced in the production of non-ferrous metal products. Substantial economies can be expected through consolidation of purchase requirements in National. There may also be economies in sales, accounting, auditing, tax, finance and other departments. Furthermore, National already has access to other markets and customers which should provide a ready outlet for the Corporation's production.
2. The modernization program begun in 1946 at three of the Corporation's plants has already required an investment of over twenty million dollars. The sale to National will provide available cash resources to enable the continuance of the expansion program. While the Cor poration, through borrowings or other financing, might itself obtain such cash resources, it is believed that the operation of the Corporation's business as a division of a large and financially strong company should facilitate expansion and growth. In the past, the Corporation has expanded only through the use of accumulated earnings.
3. In exchanging their shares for National's Common Stock, the Corporation's shareholders will acquire a continuing interest in a company catering to many industries. The Corporation's sales to the automotive industry alone have in the last ten years averaged 45% of its total sales. Any recession in the automotive industry could, therefore, have an adverse effect on the Cor poration's future. Assuming that such a recession would not be accompanied by recessions in the fields in which National is now engaged, the consolidation of the business of the Corporation with that of National should minimize this risk, since a decline in sales to the automotive industry alone would represent a relatively small reduction in the total sales of National.
4. National has had a record of excellent attainment in the business world which is attributable in considerable measure to its management. Such management should result in greater success and stability for the future.
5. National has continuously paid dividends since 1906. The Corporation has continuously paid dividends since the consolidation of Doehler Die Casting Co. into W. B. Jarvis Company effective January 1, 1945. Doehler Die Casting Co. (incorporated in 1908) had a record of paying dividends in each year since 1940 and W. B. Jarvis Company (incorporated in 1926) since 1936. The addition of the Corporation's earnings to National's earnings should result in higher sales and earnings of National, and continued dividends on the Common Stock of National may be expected.
3
NL 000040644
The ratio of exchange (1.15 shares of Common Stock of National for 1 share of Common Stock of the Corporation) was arrived at by negotiation between representatives of the two companies following an offer by National, and represents the ratio most favorable to the stockholders of the Corporation which National would agree to. In addition to the statistical factors set forth below, such as relative market values, there were considered such factors as the investment qualities of the two stocks, including their respective market price to earnings ratios, and an estimate of future prospects of each company, bearing in mind the nature of their businesses and the type of management now available to each.
BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES OF THE CORPORATION
The business of the Corporation consists primarily of the manufacture (including finishing) of die castings in zinc, aluminum, magnesium and copper alloys. The products range in size and character from small simple pieces to large castings of the most intricate form. The outlet for its products includes the following industries: automotive, electrical appliances, office and home appli ances, radio, washing machine, hardware, vacuum cleaner, and other industries requiring parts for mechanical devices. In 1951 approximately 10%, and in the first nine months of 1952 approximately 21%, of the volume of the Corporation was derived from national defense work. The Corporation has nine plants located in five cities: Toledo, Ohio (2), Grand Rapids, Michigan (2), Pottstown, Pa. (2), Batavia, New York (2), and Chicago, Illinois (1).
BUSINESS OF NATIONAL LEAD COMPANY
(Information relating to National set forth under this heading and elsewhere herein has been
furnished to the Corporation by National.)
T
National Lead Company (including its subsidiaries) is primarily a manufacturer and fabri cator of paints, pigments, oils, lead products, bearings, oil well drilling materials, and special metals.
Products
National Lead Company makes and sells over 200 individual products, most of which are set forth below under the caption Principal Properties of National Lead Company and Subsidiaries. Among the more important lines of its products are the following:
Paints. "Dutch Boy" paints and paint materials are among the best-known in the country, with a record of consistent national advertising under that trade name for over 46 years.
Pigments. The last two decades have seen a remarkable growth in the production and use of titanium pigments. These pigments are used extensively in the production of paints and enamels, as well as in plastics, paper, ceramics, floor coverings and rubber goods. National has also con tinued to produce and sell pigments such as white lead and lead oxides, while developing entirely new materials which are now being successfully marketed--largely to paint manufacturers.
Oils. Linseed oil and castor oil are produced in substantial quantities through partly owned subsidiaries. These and other special purpose oils are sold mainly to paint manufacturers and to painters, but research is bringing out new uses which are being exploited with promising results.
Lead Products. National has had long experience in fabricating lead and its alloys. Such products go into residential and industrial buildings, chemical and textile installations, and auto mobile and electronics work. National also is an important supplier of storage battery plate metal, and is one of the oldest producers of metal for the printing trade.
Bearings. National processes railway journal bearings for many railroads. Diesel engine bearings and metals for special-purpose bearings are also produced.
4
NL 000040645
Oil well drilling materials. Modern drilling for oil requires the use of weighting material for efficient operation. National mines and markets barytes, bentonite and related materials for this purpose and furnishes technical service to insure their proper use. In the recent past, other appli cations for these products have been developed and are showing promise.
Special metals. Titanium in its metallic form is produced by a 50%-owned subsidiary which operates the first fully-integrated commercial plant for the purpose in the world. This plant is expected shortly to reach an output of ten tons a day of the metal which is in extraordinarily keen demand from the aircraft industry and others which require light weight, great strength, and high heat-resistance. Zirconium, with exceptional corrosion resistance, is another bright-future metal produced by National. Antimony is mined in Mexico and smelted in Texas. A relatively small part of National's lead requirements comes from its two mines in Missouri. One of these mines also produces cobalt and nickel which are about to be extracted by a new process. National, through a majority-owned subsidiary, is operating the Nicaro, Cuba, mine and reduction plant for the production of nickel, under contract with the General Services Administration of the United States Government.
The relative amount of business done by National in its major categories is approximately 50% for paints and pigments, 30% for fabricated metal products, 11% for bearings, 7% for oil well drilling materials, and 2% for miscellaneous products.
Distribution Paints are sold principally through dealers to the public; most other products are sold direct
to manufacturers. Customers include the chemical, construction and maintenance, steel, petroleum, railroad, plastics, printing, automotive, paint, and electronics industries. Because of the large number of separate products produced by National and going to various industries and other uses, a setback in any one particular industry (unless part of a general business and industrial recession) would not seriously affect National's earnings. The sale of any one product of National to any one industry would account for not more than an estimated 15% of total sales.
Raw Materials Raw materials are to a great extent bought from primary producers. Noteworthy exceptions
are ilmenite (source of titanium pigments and metal) which National mines at its properties in the United States and Norway; oil well drilling materials, mined in the United States; and a por tion of its lead requirements, reclaimed from scrap metal. National is not dependent to any substantial degree on foreign sources for its raw materials.
Plants and Physical Properties of National Lead Company and its Subsidiaries National Lead Company and its domestic subsidiary companies own or lease and operate
a large number of manufacturing plants, mining properties and retail paint stores in widely separated locations in the United States. Other subsidiary companies own and operate manufac turing plants and mining properties in Canada, Mexico, Argentina, England, Norway and Ger many. The properties are located in or near principal cities and have, in general, been kept and maintained in good condition.
A schedule of principal properties owned and/or operated by National and its subsidiary companies follows.

t In the opinions of the companies all known adjustments necessary to a fair statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 1952 have been included.
* Includes shipping, selling, general and administrative expenses, the segregation of which is not practicable for inclusion in June 30, 1952 reports.
(1) The provisions for Federal taxes on income represent the totals of the amounts shown by the statements of National Lead Company (and its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries) and Doehler-Jarvis Corporation. It is impractical to attempt a determination at this time of the amount of tax which would have been applicable to the combined operations if a consolidation of the companies had been effected at January 1, 1951.

COMPARATIVE TERMS OF COMMON STOCKS
The following is a brief comparison of the rights of the holders of Common Stock of the two companies (and does not include any comparison of rights under statutes or other law of the respective states of incorporation) :
Preferences and Priorities
The Corporation has only one class of stock, i.e. its Common Stock. National has authorized 250,000 shares of 7% Class "A" Preferred Stock (par value $100 per share) of which 234,293 shares are issued and outstanding (exclusive of 9,383 shares held in its treasury), 250,000 shares of 6% Class "B" Preferred Stock (par value $100 per share), of which 90,185 shares are issued and outstanding (exclusive of 13,092 shares held in its treasury), and 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock (par value $5 per share), of which 10,158,375 shares are issued and outstanding. Dividends on both classes of such Preferred Stock are cumulative, and full cumulative dividends on such Preferred Stock must be paid before dividends may be paid on National's Common Stock. Shares of neither class of such Preferred Stock are redeemable. On liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each share of either class is entitled to be paid its par value plus all unpaid cumulative divi dends in priority to National's Common Stock. Except as otherwise provided by law, each share of Preferred Stock of National, of each class, is entitled to 30 votes and the Common Stock of National is entitled to one vote per share.
Election of Directors
The entire Board of Directors of the Corporation is elected annually by vote of the holders of its Common Stock and the by-laws of the Corporation (in accordance with the Michigan statutes) provide for cumulative voting. One third of the Board of Directors of National is elected each year for a term of three years by its Preferred and Common Stockholders, there being no provision for cumulative voting.
The Corporation believes that there are no other material differences in the rights of the holders of Common Stock of the two companies under their present charters and by-laws.
SHAREHOLDERS WHO DISSENT
In accordance with the provisions of Section 44 of the Michigan General Corporation Act, any holder of Common Stock who votes against the proposed sale of the assets of the Corporation may, within 20 days after the date of the Special Meeting at which the sale was authorized, but not thereafter, object thereto in writing and demand from the Corporation the payment of the fair cash value of his shares as of the day preceding the day of such Special Meeting, excluding from such fair cash value any appreciation or depreciation in consequence of the action authorized, and surrender at such time to the Corporation the certificate oir certificates for his shares as to which he is demanding payment. If the Corporation and the shareholder cannot agree upon the fair cash value of the shares within 30 days after receipt of the demand by a shareholder, the Act provides for the appointment of appraisers whose determination, upon confirmation by court order, shall be final and conclusive.
The right of any dissenting shareholder to be paid the fair cash value of his shares shall cease if and when the Corporation shall, within six months after such demand for payment, abandon such action or the shareholders shall revoke such action. No demand for payment of such fair cash value may be withdrawn by the shareholder making the same unless a majority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall consent thereto. Any shareholder who so demands payment for his shares shall not be entitled to vote such shares or to receive any dividends or distributions thereon, or to exercise any rights respecting such shares, unless and until such action entitling such shareholder to payment shall be abandoned or a majority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall consent to the withdrawal of such demand.
15
NL 000040656
Under Section 44 of the Michigan General Corporation Act, objection by any such shareholder pursuant thereto and his rights thereafter under said section shall be his exclusive remedy.
The outcome of the votes at the Special Meeting will be released to the press immediately, and thereafter a written notice thereof will be mailed to all shareholders, but the giving of such notice will not operate so as to affect or extend the statutory periods set forth above.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
There are attached as Exhibits 1 and 2 hereto certain financial statements of National and of the Corporation. All of said financial statements are part of this Proxy Statement and are incorporated herein by reference.
OTHER MATTERS
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the management of Proxies to be used at the aforesaid Special Meeting and any adjournment thereof. If a Proxy in the accompanying form is executed and returned, it may, nevertheless, be revoked at any time prior to its exercise.
Shares represented by properly executed Proxies will be voted in accordance with the specifications, if any, made by the shareholder and if no specification is made will be voted in favor of the proposals.
The management does not know of any matter other than those referred to in the foregoing Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement that may come before said meeting. If any other matter properly comes before the Special Meeting-, however, the persons named in the accompanying form of Proxy intend to vote thereon in accordance with their best judgment.
EXPENSE OF SOLICITATION
The cost of solicitation of Proxies will be borne by the Corporation or, to the extent provided in the Agreement, by National. In addition to the use of mails. Proxies may be solicited personally, by telephone, or by telegraph, and the Corporation may pay persons holding stock for others their expenses for sending material to their principals. The Corporation has also retained Georgeson & Co. to assist in the solicitation of Proxies by the same methods by approxi mately 40 employees of said firm for limited periods. It is anticipated that said firm will receive a fee of $2,500 for such service, plus out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements estimated at $7,500.
By Order of the Board of Directors:
H. H. DOEHLER Honorary Chairman
F. J. KOEGLER President
January 2, 1953

AUDITORS' REPORT
Exhibit 1
To the stockholders of Na t io n a l Le a d Co mp a n y , New York, N. Y.
We have examined the consolidated and individual balance sheets of Na t io n a l Le a d Co mp a n y and its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (other than one wholly owned domestic subsidiary) as of December 31, 1951 and the related statements of income and surplus for the years ended December 31, 1949, 1950 and 1951. Our examinations were made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We have also examined or reviewed, or have received reports of other independent public accountants upon their examinations of, the balance sheets of the afore-mentioned wholly owned domestic subsidiary, the major domestic subsidiaries more than 50, but less than 100 per cent owned and the major foreign subsidiaries other than Continental European, as of the close of their respective 1951 fiscal years and the related statements of income and surplus for the respective 1949, 1950 and 1951 fiscal years.
In our opinion, based upon the above-outlined examinations and the above-mentioned reports of other
independent public accountants, the accompanying financial statements present fairly the consolidated
financial position of National Lead Company and its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries at December
31, 1951 and the consolidated results of their operations for the years ended December 31, 1949, 1950 and
I 1951, and the combined financial position of National Lead Company's major domestic subsidiaries more
than 50, but less than 100 per cent owned and major foreign subsidiaries (other than Continental

$59,505,764 $55,404,739 $48,824,480 $45,256,310 $59,118,313
Inventories are priced at the lower of cost (on various "average", "first-in, first-out" or "last-in, first-out" bases) or market.
During 1950 the company adopted the Lifo method of pricing with respect to certain basic inventories. In accordance with income tax requirements inventories as of December 31, 1949 were increased by $1,399,178, with compensating credits to the normal stock reserve and to earned surplus. In these financial statements the last named credit is shown on the income statement as a special item.
As a result of the adoption of the Lifo method, income for 1950 before provision for federal taxes on income was $2,317,496 less, provision for federal taxes on income was $3,843,948 less, and net income was $1,526,452 more than would otherwise have been the case.
The inventory reserve has been maintained on the basis of the following quantities and prices of normal
stocks:
Normal Quantities (Short Tons)
Fixed Inventory Price per Pound
Lead........................................................................................................ 49,687^
Tin..............................................................................................................
1,124 yi
Antimony...................................................................................................
1,400
Linseed oil.................................................................................
3,125
$ .03 .21 .05 .06
A charge of $507,745 was made to income for 1949 in connection with an increase in the normal quantity of antimony and a credit of $430,000 was made to income for 1951 in connection with the elimination of the normal quantity of flaxseed.
Physical quantities of certain metals were lower at the end than at the beginning of 1951. A provision of $1,775,147, representing the difference between year-end market prices and cost (determined under the last-in, first-out method), for replacement of such quantities is included in the inventory reserve at December 31, 1951. Partial replacement was made during the six months ended June 30, 1952.
The inventory reserves include, in addition to the normal stock reserves, general inventory reserves of $800,000 at both June 30, 1952 and December 31, 1951. There were no changes in the general inventory reserves during the periods covered by these financial statements.
Intercompany profits in inventories are not considered to be material in amount.
3. Unconsolidated subsidiaries comprise foreign subsidiaries, which are subject to various exchange and other controls of the respective foreign governments, and domestic subsidiaries more than 50, but less than 100 per cent owned.

$137,560,495
$133,320,357
Provisions for depreciation, depletion and amortization are charged to income on the following bases:
Manufacturing facilities (except as set forth in the following paragraph) on the straight-line method at the following rates:
Buildings: 2)4 per cent to 5 per cent per annum
Machinery and equipment: 4 per cent to 10 per cent per annum
During 1949, the company adopted the diminishing balance method of computing depreciation on the manufacturing facilities of its Titanium Division, at a 20 per cent rate, in lieu of the straight-line method theretofore employed. (As a result of the change in 1949 in the method of computing depre ciation on manufacturing facilities of the Titanium Division, depreciation charges were approximately $2,571,000. higher, and consolidated net income was approximately $2,571,000 lower, for that year, than would have been the case if the company had continued the use of the straight-line method.) The diminishing balance method was continued, during 1950, 1951 and the six months ended June 30, 1952, as applied to facilities acquired prior to December 31, 1948 and subsequent normal acquisi tions. The company has adopted the straight-line method of computing depreciation with respect to the costs of manufacturing facilities put into operation in 1952 in connection with a material expansion program of the Titanium Division.
Mining facilities, including land, buildings and machinery and equipment--at rates per ton of material produced, or on the straight-lme method at varying rates, based on the shorter of estimated physical or economic life of the property.
Furniture and fixtures--at 10 per cent per annum.
Autos and trucks--at 40 per cent for the first year of service and 20 per cent for each of the next three years of service.
Patents, licenses, etc. -- over their respective lives.
Trade-marks and good will -- none, see Note 5.
Some properties whose values are considered to be contingent upon such factors as patents, licenses, leaseholds, etc., are amortized over the lives of such factors.
Maintenance, repairs, renewals and minor betterments are charged to income.
Reserves for depreciation, depletion and amortization are generally relieved of the accumulated amounts applicable to properties retired or otherwise disposed of at the time of disposition of such properties and profit or loss is currently recognized.
5. Intangibles include "trade-marks and good will'' of $20,692,311, representing substantially the excess of book amounts of fixed assets in 1915 over the amounts thereof as shown- by appraisals made in that year. No reserves for amortization of such intangibles have been provided. As explained on several occasions in annual reports to shareholders of the company, no attempt was made prior to 1915 to determine the amounts of such intangibles, since in most cases going concerns (including tangible assets, business, good will and trade-marks) were acquired through the issuance of shares of capital stock of National Lead Company. The properties so acquired, including intangibles, were recorded on the books of the company at an aggregate amount equal to the par value of the shares so issued.
Patents and licenses are included at amortized cost.

6. The company's Retirement Annuity Plan became effective January 1, 1937 and covers service subsequent to that date. All full time employees under age 64 are eligible on completion of one year of service before reaching that age.
Employees are required to make monthly contributions under the plan and such contributions, together with the company's, are paid to an insurance company which assumes responsibility for retirement annuities purchased thereby. National Lead Company has reserved the right to change or discontinue the plan at any time. The annual cost to the company is presently estimated to be $1,200,000.
The company's Plan of Past Service and Minimum Pensions (non-contributory) provides for pensions for qualified employees who were in the company's service on December 31, 1936 and covers service prior to that date. Such pensions are not part of the plan underwritten by the insurance company. National Lead Company has, however, reserved the right to purchase from an insurance company annuities for past service and minimum pensions and has provided a reserve for the cost of such annuities which cost at June 30, 19S2 is estimated to be $905,000.
Under both plans, the annual retirement benefits are based on average annual salaries and periods of service; the combined annual retirement benefits of no officer or employee may exceed $37,500.
7. In October, 1951, the stockholders approved an increase in the authorized common stock of the company from 5,000,000 shares of $10 par value to 20,000,000 shares of $5 par value, and also approved the exchange of three shares of $5 par value common stock for each share of $10 par value common stock then outstanding. The split of the common stock and reduction of par value resulted in an increase of $16,930,625 in the aggregate par value of common stock issued, which increase was provided by the transfer of $9,410,244 from the capital surplus account, being all of the then existing capital surplus, and $7,520,381 from earned surplus unappropriated.
The stockholders also approved an increase in the number of votes to which each share of Class A preferred stock and each shave of Class B preferred stock, of the par value of $100 each, shall be entitled, except as otherwise provided by law, at all meetings and for all purposes, from 10 votes per share to 30 votes per share.
8. Under the company's Stock Purchase Plan for Officers and Other Key Employees, adopted in- 1950, certain officers and employees contracted to purchase common stock of the company. The purchase prices (market prices at the dates of execution of the purchase contracts) are evidenced by promissory notes bearing interest at 3 per cent payable within 10 years from dates thereof, the shares serving; as collateral. Payments against interest and principal of the notes shall be not less than fifty per cent of the dividends paid on such collateral shares. The employees have the option to, and the company may require that they, withdraw the collateral in hundred-share lots as payments become equal to the purchase price thereof.
Upon death or retirement of an employee, the company shall, if requested, repurchase at the original sales price shares not then fully paid for. Under other circumstances if the employee shall not complete payments, the company shall have the option of so repurchasing shares not then fully paid for but may exercise any legal right to compel completion of the contract.
Shares issued in accordance with the plan aggregated 19,050 in 1951 and 113,850 in 1950. Shares held as collateral aggregated 321,000 at June 30, 1952 and 333,100 at December 31, 1951, sifter giving effect to the split of the common stock.
No further purchases may be made under the plan.
9. Reserve balances at January. 1, 1951 transferred to and reclassified as earned surplus appropriated. There were no other changes in these accounts during the periods covered by these financial statements.
10. Reacquired capital stock, carried at first-in, first-out cost, comprises: Number of Shares

11. Intercompany transactions among consolidated companies have been eliminated from sales and cost of sales. Sales to unconsolidated subsidiaries are included in the following approximate amounts:
Six months ended June 30, 1952............................................................................. Year ended December 31,1951............................................................................ Year ended December 31,1950............................................................................ Year ended December 31,1949..............................................................................
$ 4,204,000 10,701,000 9,430,000 7,227,000
12. Numerous differences exist between taxable income and book income, including certain fluctuations in the inventory reserves; percentage depletion; depreciation charges; and purchases of past service annuities deductible for tax purposes but charged on the books to reserve for pensions.
General:
The consolidated financial statements include all wholly owned domestic subsidiaries of National Lead Com pany operating in the United States. The companies included in consolidation were the same during the six months ended June 30, 1952 and the years 1951, 1950 and 1949 except as follows:
American Lead Corporation and John T. Lewis & Bros. Company were liquidated as of June 30 and December 31, 1949, respectively, and as of those dates their assets were transferred to and liabilities assumed by National Lead Company.
In November, 1950, National Lead Company acquired all of the capital stock of Sayre and Fisher Land Company and the latter company is included since December 31, 1950.
The following companies are included from the dates of their formation or from the dates of acquisition of all their capital stock by National Lead Company, in 1951:
Titanium Pigment Export Corporation
Cobalt Nickel Reduction Company
The Chas. Taylor's Sons Company
National Lead Company of Hawaii, Ltd.
Baroid Sales Export Corporation is included from the date of its formation in 1952.
, The equity of National Lead Company in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries, as shown by the books of the latter, was $1,170,886 and $596,432 in excess of the investment in such subsidiaries shown by the books of the parent company at June 30, 1952 and December 31, 1951, respectively. Such excesses have been adjusted in consolidation by a debit to land in the amount of $536,956 and credits to earned surplus in the amounts of $1,707,842 at June 30, 1952 and $1,133,388 at December 31, 1951.
Under agreements with the Atomic Energy Commission, two consolidated subsidiaries are operating plants constructed with funds supplied by the Commission. Neither the assets, liabilities, nor results of operations of such plants are included in the accompanying financial statements. Annual fixed fees received by such subsidiaries as contract-operators are included in miscellaneous other income in the accompanying consoli dated statements of income.
Refunds under the Renegotiation Act of 1951, if any, are not considered to be material and no provisions have been made therefor.
No provisions have been made for such taxes as may be paid if and when accumulated earnings of subsidiaries are distributed to the parent company, since such taxes may never accrue.
In connection with the final decree heretofore entered in the civil antitrust suit brought by the government, the company now has an extension of time to January 1, 1953 within which to submit a plan either for the sale of the company's interests in its partly owned company in Japan or for the purchase by the company of the interests of others in that company. Also in connection with the plan submitted by the company and approved by the court Titangesellschaft m.b.H. of Leverkusen, Germany, in which the company formerly had a fifty per cent interest, became wholly owned through purchase, during the six months ended June 30, 1952, of the remaining capital stock.

During 1950 certain combined domestic subsidiaries of National Lead Company adopted the Lifo method of pricing with respect to certain of their basic inventories.
As a result of the adoption of the Lifo method, income of these combined domestic subsidiaries for 1950 before provision for federal taxes on income was $3,069,498 less, provision for federal taxes on income was $1,435,370 less, and net income was $1,634,128 less than would otherwise have been the case.
2. The combined financial statements include all major domestic subsidiaries of National Lead Company more than 50, but less than 100 per cent owned and all major foreign subsidiaries other than Continental European.
Subsidiaries included in the combined statements for 1951, 1950 and 1949 are the same except as follows:
Baker Castor Oil Company, in which a minority interest was previously held, became majority owned in 1949 and is included since June 30, 1949.
Antilles Minerals, S. A. was liquidated as of December 31, 1951.
3. The combined balance sheet includes the assets and liabilities at June 30, 1951 (adjusted generally for miscel laneous interim transactions with National Lead Company to December 31, 1951), and the accompanying combined statements of income and earned surplus include the statements of income and earned surplus for the respective fiscal years ended June 30, of the Argentine subsidiary.
The combined balance sheet includes the assets and liabilities at July 31, 1951, and the accompanying combined statements of income and earned surplus include the statements of income and earned surplus for the respective fiscal years ended July 31, of Minnesota Linseed Oil Company, adjusted to reflect cash dividends declared and paid subsequent to July 31, 1951. The amount of such dividends received by National Lead Company has been included in consolidated net income. Since this subsidiary is an active supplier of materials to National Lead Company, it is not feasible to adjust its balance sheet for other interim trans actions (sales, collections, etc.) with National Lead Company, and the net difference (reduction) in the amount receivable by it from National Lead Company between July 31, and December 31, 1951 has been shown as a separate item in the combined balance sheet.

Provisions for depreciation, depletion and amortization generally are made in accordance with the following methods and rates: Manufacturing facilities, on the straight-line method at the following rates: Buildings, 2 per cent to 5 per cent per annum Machinery, 5 per cent to 20 per cent per annum
Miscellaneous: Furniture and fixtures, 10 per cent to 20 per cent per annum Autos and trucks, 15 per cent to 33 per cent per annum.
Mining facilities, on the straight-line method, variously at 5 per cent to 50 per cent per annum, based on the estimated useful lives of the individual items.
No policy for amortizing good will has been adopted. In addition, such special depreciation as is allowed for Canadian corporate tax purposes has been provided by
a Canadian subsidiary. In general, depreciation is first provided for in the year following that in which the asset is acquired, except
that provisions relating to autos and trucks are usually commenced during the year of acquisition. Maintenance, repairs, renewals and minor betterments are charged to income.
Reserves for depreciation are generally relieved of the accumulated amounts applicable to properties retired or otherwise disposed of at the time of disposition of such properties and any resulting profit or loss is included in income.
5. Reserves are included in the combined balance sheet in accordance with the classifications shown in the balance sheets of the several subsidiaries.
6. The combined balance sheet includes the following amounts of foreign assets and liabilities (excluding amounts receivable from and due to National Lead Company) translated at appropriate rates of exchange: current assets and deferred charges, $12,029,049; current liabilities, $4,098,638; plant, property and equipment, net, plus other assets, $5,556,896; reserves, other than surplus reserves, $159,637. The realization of foreign assets is subject to various exchange and other restrictions imposed by the respective foreign governments.
Although the assets and liabilities of the Argentine subsidiary have been included in the combined balance sheet as of June 30, 1951, the current assets and deferred charges and the current liabilities of that company have been translated at the rate prevailing at December 31, 1951.

All income and expense items of the foreign subsidiaries, except depreciation, have been translated into U. S. dollars generally at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods. Depreciation charges are based on the U. S. dollar amounts of the related fixed assets. The item "Foreign exchange losses, net (gains*)" included in the combined statements of income reflects generally the losses or gains (in terms of U. S. dollar equivalents of net current assets and deferred charges) resulting from foreign exchange adjustments. See also Note 3.

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
December 8, 1952.
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of DOEHLER-JARVIS CORPORATION:
We have examined the balance sheet of Doehler-Jarvis Corporation, at December 31, 1951 and the related statements of operations and earned surplus for the three years then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and statements of operations and earned surplus present fairly the financial position of Doehler-Jarvis Corporation at December 31, 1951 and the results of its operations for the three years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the period.
ARTHUR YOUNG & COMPANY.

DOEHLER-JARVIS CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Exhibit 2--(Continued)
No t e 1--Inventories:
Inventories were priced as follows:
Raw materials at the lower of actual or average purchase cost (first-in, first-out) or replacement market value. Supplies at average purchase cost.
Work in process and finished product at the lower of average purchase cost or replacement market value as to material, with labor at actual and overhead at standards which approximated actual.
No t e 2--Federal taxes on income:
Claims for refunds of Federal income and excess profits taxes for 1940 and subsequent years are not reflected in the balance sheet pending final determination of amounts to be allowed. Federal tax returns have been examined through the year 1949.
No t e 3--Pensions and Retirement Plan expense:
A non-contributory pension plan for hourly-wage employees, adopted in 1947 and incorporated in a five-year Union Agreement dated July 1, 1950, requires annual payments for benefits based on current services and payment before August 31, 1955 of an amount equal to five yearly payments of the level amount required to fund benefits based on past services over a period of 30 years. The estimated cost of funding the total past service benefits by a single payment at June 30, 1952 would be approximately $3,500,000. The Union Agreement also provides for a contributory insurance program.
The Corporation has a contributory Retirement Plan for salaried employees, under which there is no past service liability, and a non-contributory insurance plan. The Corporation also pays certain supplemental pensions.
The plans for hourly-wage employees are subject to termination on July 1, 1955 and the plans for salaried employees may be discontinued at any time; however, it is intended that all plans will be continued indefinitely.
The costs of the foregoing plans included in the statement of income are as follows:
Hourly-wage employees pension plan: Current Service ........................................... Past Service .................................................
Hourly-wage employees insurance program. .. Salaried employees retirement plan................ Salaried employees insurance plan.................. Supplemental pensions ...................................

No t e 4--Profit and Loss Information:
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided, in general, on the basis of the estimated useful as periodically reviewed, of the individual assets or minor group classifications. The periodic reviews limit : depreciated assets to items within minor group classifications. The cost and reserve accounts are relieved of fully depreciated items and disposals. The profit or loss resulting from disposals is included in the income account. The method of providing depreciation results in a wide variation of rates which cannot be reasonably stated in tabular form by asset classification.
Substantially all expenditures for maintenance, renewals and betterments are charged to expense. Betterments which materially prolong the life of the related assets are capitalized.
