SCM Corporation Eleven years ago Smith-Corona, with annual sales of about $36million, was prominent in the some what narrowly-channelled field of typewriters. Today, as SCM Corporation, it is a broadly diversified manufacturing company with sales of over $640 million in a variety of markets. SCM Corporation is among the leading companies serving markets for such products as copiers, portable typewriters, telecommunications equip ment, electronic calculators, small kitchen appli ances and rug and floor care products. Through " its newGIidden-Durkee Division, SCM has equally significant positions in important segments of the chemicals industry, consumer and industrial coatingsand specialty and convenience foods. Carryingout the task of manufacturing and selling these products are approximately 30,000 SCM people, working in more than 70 factories and a vastly larger number of sales outlets around the world. TheCompanyisowned by over40,000shareholders, for whom this report was compiled.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:
The year that ended on June 30,1967 was most interestingand rewarding for your Company. We have under gone a transformation, the scope of which is apparent from the com parative financial highlights set forth below.
Total combined sales of SCM and The Glidden Company, now the Glidden-Durkee Division of SCM, were si ightly over $640 mill ion in fiscal 1967, up 10 per cent from last year's $582.8 million. On the same basis, net income rose 5 per cent over last year's $22.4 million to $23.6 million in fiscal 1967. Income per share reached $3.13 compared to an ad justed figure of $3.11 for 1966, based on the average number of shares outstanding for both companies over the periods.
Nineteen sixty-seven, because it was the year we joined forces with Glidden, may well become the bench mark year from which many aspects of our business will be dated in the future. But despite its unparalleled
significance, our merger with The Glidden Company was by no means the only development of interest in 1967. Here are some others:
SCM sales and earnings (excluding the contribution of Glidden) also climbed to new records. Sales rose 15 percent to $275.9 million from last year's $240.6 million. Net income increased 10 per cent, reaching $11.8 million compared to $10.7 million last year. Earnings per share were $2.70 for SCM in 1967 on 4.4 million average shares as opposed to $2.60 per share in 1966 on 4.1 million average shares.
A new plant at Libertyville, Illinois, provided expanded production capa bilities for Coronastat Model 55 copiers. Reception of this new copier has been very gratifying, with most customers using the machines on a Copy Service basis rather than pur chasing them. Asa result, the impact of Coronastat placements is spread over future years' earnings.
We completed a major expansion of the typewriter plant in South Cort land, New York, which will assist

further automation in typewriter assembly processes.
The Proctor-Silex line of appliances, acquired by SCM in 1966, recorded substantially increased sales despite a general softness in consumer spending for appliances. ProctorSilex added more than Its share to total corporate income, based on the number of shares issued for it. Proctor-Silex earnings were not fully taxed in 1966, but were so taxed in the latest year.
Sales and backlog were at all-time highs at year-end for the increasingly important Kleinschmidt Telecom munications Division.
Several acquisitions were ar ranged. A paper-coating plant in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, was pur chased to strengthen SCM's total approach to office copying. Acquisi tion of Shetland Incorporated in Salem, Massachusetts, makers of Shetland appliances and Lewyt rug and floor care products, complements the Proctor-Silex appliance line. Acquisition of L&W Machine Works in Rock Hill, South Carolina, broad ened the industrial process ma chinery operations of Proctor & Schwartz, Inc.
Sales of traditional SCM products-- typewriters, calculators and adding machines--continued to Increase, both to home and office users.
Finally, recognizing the increasing diversity of our operations, in late August we announced organizational
changes looking toward a more decentralized operating framework.
The merger with Glidden has made SCM twice as big as when we wrote to you in the last annual report and SCM's face and structure have changed, as is to be expected. But these mere quantitative and admin istrative changes have in no way affected the basic character of our Company. We remain opportunity oriented--a corporate philosophy that has helped us grow from a type writer maker into a major business operating in broadly diversified yet generally related fields. The Glidden Company presented us with a great opportunity. We look forward to others in the future.
The pages immediately following consist of observations recently made by some of the executives who guide SCM. In explaining the significance of the Glidden merger, their remarks convey the essence of our "oppor tunity" philosophy.
This report is our first to a greatly enlarged number of SCM share holders. We want to take advantage of the occasion to welcome the many former Glidden shareholders to our ranks. And, of course, we want to thank all of our shareholders, em ployees and customers for their en thusiastic support during the past year. It is good to have you all with us -old and new.

THE MEANING OF GLIODEN: AN SCM FORUM
Mr. Mead: In The Glidden Company, we found a good combination of three things we were looking for. Glidden was profitable, had technology that is very important to some aspects of our business, and brought to SCM the size that is essential for a company that
Emerson E. Mead, President and Chief Executive Officer
hopes to be in position to finance creative ideas. Glidden-Durkee will be the cornerstone of SCM's growth in the Seventies and Eighties. Working together we have the potential to move forward in those areas of the business where SCM and Glidden technologies mesh, and also to explore possibilities in whole new markets and product categories. Science and Technology: It has become commonplace to point out that we are in an era of rapid technological and scientific change. It is nonetheless true. Many observers have predicted that electronics, chemicals and foods will be prominent growth areas of the economy in the few decades remaining in this Century. SCM has the opportunity to exploit markets in each of these basic areas. More important, we look forward to the possibility of welding together these and other technological resources--optics, electro-mechanics and laser technology, for example--and so achieve something bigger and better than we started with. In this way we hope to obtain the fullest participation possible in the growth areas of the Seventies and beyond.
Management: We have no intention of becoming a mere holding company on the one hand, or of trying to run SCM like a single product/single market company on the other. We are committed to the belief that there is a middle ground, an opti mum balance of operating control and delegation of operating authority. We are currently reorganizing to achieve this balance. Even before the merger was effected we had planned for divisional reorganization. The principal change will find a consoli dation of essential staff functions at company headquarters with full operat ing authority delegated to the SmithCorona Marchant, Proctor-Silex, Glidden-Durkee and Kleinschmidt Tele communications Divisions under George Burns, Walter Schwartz, Bill Phillipsand Emilio Cadamagnani, respectively. Work ing directly with me at corporate head quarters will be the vice presidents in charge of the departments concerned with long-range research, corporate development, finance, and legal matters. Only under the most modem manage ment techniques is decentralized administration of a major industrial concern feasible. We expect to devote a great deal of attention to communi cations, reporting and analysis, management training and development, and constant assessment of our exten- sive human resources.
Mr. Phillips: The Glidden Company joins SCM as the Glidden-Durkee Division with the firm conviction that by working together we can achieve growth and

GLD38576
Walter M. Schwartz, Jr., I'ice President; President, Proctor Silex Division
profit beyond the reach of either company alone. All of us want more from this merger than the simple sum of its parts. What we're looking for--and what we expect to accomplish--is something much more than that. Meshing our technical abilities and business knowledge promises to make this merger more than mere arithmetic.
Research has long been vital to all of Glidden's operations. Programs looking toward the development of high-per formance plastics, fibers, adhesives, coatings, binders and other polymer composites were all being vigorously pursued atGlidden before the merger with SCM became effective, and work in these areas continues. Our progress in organic chemicals, particularly in flavors and fragrances, also holds great prom ise. We anticipate the enhanced financial strength of the combined companies will make possible capital expenditures to speed the procedure of getting some of the products we have been working on out of the laboratory and into production.
We have many decades of experience in developing these coatings, foods and specialty organic and inorganic chemi cals, and bring to SCM a reputation for unsurpassed product quality equal to its own. Imaginative research and energetic and successful marketing are Glidden-Durkee assets that admirably complement those of SCM.
It is my personal view, however, that our primary contribution to the success of new venture will be Glidden people. Over the years I have been associated with
them, they have proven as capable and enthusiastic as it is possible for a group of men and women to be. Working with their new associates from the SCM side, they will continue to create products and develop markets as necessary to fulfill the goals we have set for ourselves.
As part of a much larger corporation it will be possible for Glidden-Durkee to do many things more quickly than we had hoped. All of us look forward to doing them.
Mr. Schwartz: When Proctor-Silexand Proctor & Schwartz came to SCM in 1966 we were about one-fifth of the size of Glidden in terms of sales. Nevertheless, our experience in the year that we have been a part of the SCM family will bear out some of Bill Phillips' observations.
In our case, association with SCM has provided the opportunity and incentive to make management decisions free from many of the concerns that can sap the energies of small companies. While staff functions capable of being centralized at headquarters are coordinated in New York, business decisions in the appliance area are my responsibility. Staff functions directly related to the appliance area are provided at Division headquarters in Philadelphia.
As a result of the financial strength a company the size of SCM affords, Proctor-Silex is in a position to grow by acquisition. Acquiring Shetland Incor porated and L & W Machine Works in April and May of this year would have been very difficult for Proctor-Silex by itself. So far as the Proctor-Silex Division is concerned, the merger has worked to the advantage of both companies. Our operating results over the past fiscal year--particularly in light of softness in appliance sales generally--bear eloquent witness to that conclusion.
Mr. Elicker: We believe there are three prime requisites in a merger of any appreciable size: The surviving company obtains profits, technology and enhanced financial flexibility. If you're talkingabout relatively small acquisitions, then you can feel free to make gen eralized comments about "fir,- that is, a close operational relationship of some kind between the two companies. Fit
was long a prime consideration for SCM --we said so publicly many times. But when you merge with a company as large as Glidden, the "fit factor" declines in relative importance. Let's face it, there just aren't any two companies with exact fit once they've grown to a certain size. We think the day has passed when an opportunityminded company can bide its time waiting for the "ideal" marriage partner to come along and propose. It doesn't happen anymore. Of course, the surviving company must be willing to use the financial leverage increased size creates. Too many ideas and opportunities are not fully explored simply because people are not financially able to take advantage of them. I would hope and expect that SCM will never become hidebound in that respect.
PaulH. Elicker, Vice President, Finance and Treasurer
Mr. Boiler: It might be pertinent to indicate in broad terms what we think will be the economic environment of the Company in the Seventies. A good part of the 1975 economic landscape can already be clearly discerned because Its essential elements already exist. Of the 221 million Americans who will make up the 1975 population, for example, over 80 per cent have already been born. Of greater importance, we know how old most people will be and from that can deduce what sort of products they will be buying. Using this approach, economic forecasters are unanimous in predicting continued expansion in the demand for products in our principal manufacturing areas.

The impact on American business of the great numbers of persons suddenly reaching adulthood is certain to be dramatic in the years immediately ahead. About3.7 million Americans turned eighteen in 1965, and the number will remain at about that level for the next several years. The large numbers of young adults marrying, building their
G. Robert Bailer, Vice President, Corporate Development
first homes and starting families should provide a growing market for companies serving that age group. The rate of household formations is a key economic indicator for long-range predictions of sales of electrical appliances, building materials and consumer products. Other indicators are consulted to assess the prospects for continued growth in other aspects of SCM's business. The major unknown quantity in such projections is, of course, the impact of the accelerating developments in science and technology which have come to characterize our economy. New tech nologies lead to new product categories and, occasionally, transform whole industries. These developments spell ``opportunity" to companies determined to play a leadership role in them--just as they may spell "disaster" to com panies unwilling or unable to adapt. Long-range planning at SCM is concen trated on uncovering opportunities in areas offering the best promise of compounded growth.
Mr. LeVino: Bill Phillips pointed out that research has been considered vital to Glidden's success. I might say it is and has been no less true at SCM. We have placed increasing emphasis on
our accelerating overall program of research--both basic research, adding to our general knowledge in scientific areas, and applied research, specifically aimed at the creation of new and improved techniques and processes. Creativity in the latter area is the foundation upon which new and better products are developed. Our long-range research has been conducted primarily in Switzerland. Modern laboratories have been designed and instrumented for theoretical and experimental investigation in several basic sciences. Cooperative research programs are also conducted with a number of Swiss universities. Projects under way involve new methods of printing, the development of ultrahigh-speed pulse techniques and cybernetics, the study of communi cations and control mechanisms in living beings and machines. It is apparent that the newly enhanced SCM research effort will help the Company to make a significant impact in all of its chosen fields of endeavor. Mr. Burns: SCM began as an office equipment company and--despite the fact that its product lines have been
George F. Burns, Vice President; President, Smith-Corona Marchant Division
broadened and whole new market areas entered--office equipment is still one of the most promising areas for future growth. My concern as President of the newlycreated Smith-Corona Marchant Division is with continued success and profit ability in these areas, and we are continuing to make progress. We are
GLD38578 1T
Richard B. Ls Vino, Vice President, Research
number one in portable typewriters, number two in office copiers and among the leaders in calculators and adding machines.
In all of these areas we face the stiffest kind of competition. Our products must be continually updated and improved, manufacturing must be to the highest standards of quality, and marketing must be both aggressive and sophis ticated-all at the lowest possible cost.
Our product planners have consistently come up with the products that enable us to stay abreast of competition, or, in some cases, do an end run around them as with the Model 250 compact office electric typewriter. In fiscal 1968, two new desktop Coronastats and the Cogito 566 PR will solidify our positions in office copiers and calculators respectively. The gratifying popularity of the Model 250 and innovations such as the battery-powered Poweriter portable will keep us strongly com petitive in typewriters.
In fiscal 1967 we made substantial additions to manufacturing capacity and continued to make progress in auto mating the process of assembling typewriters, copiers and calculators.
Marketing ability has been one of SCM's chief assets over the years. This basic strength has resulted from sheer unrelenting effort to get enough of the right kind of people in the right places. With a trained sales and service force of well over 4,500 alert and dedicated men and women, we have a distribution network unrivaled in our product lines. Through intensified recruitmentand training, by applying the most sophisti cated research techniques, and by
rewarding peak efforts of our people, marketing will remain a key attribute ofSCM.
Mr. Cadamagnani: Merger with a company the size of Glidden has indirect effects on the organizational structure of a company as well as direct effects in terms of new technologies, markets and manufacturing processes. Both the Smith- Corona Marchant Division and Kleinschmldt Telecommunications Divisions have achieved semiautonomous status a little earlier than had first been planned, partly because of Glidden.
Our goal at Kleinschmldt will be to continue to build upon the important technological advances that have been achieved over the years, so as to make our contribution to the overall SCM effort even more important. There are aspects of our work--particularly in the area of chemically-treated pressure paper for use in data printers--that we hope will be enhanced by the Company's new access to advanced chemistry research.
"Kleinschmidt" has been an important name in telecommunications for several decades. One reason for this is Edward E. Kleinschmidt the man Business Week recently called "a founding father in telecommunications and easily the dean of practicing U.S. inventors." Though he "retired" some years ago, at 93 Mr. Kleinschmidt still enjoys con sulting on the most modern telecom munications techniques with engineers and scientists at our Deerfield, Illinois, facilities.
Society's war on crime encompasses some of the most pressing communica tions problems Kleinschmidt Tele communications has ever attacked. The Telescrlpter, Mr. Kleinschmidt's latest patented device, is a teleprinter for police cars and other mobile installations. It promises to be an effective law enforcement tool.
Communications problems and the solutions to them are continually sought
George E. Hall, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary
in our laboratories by the people whose inspiration Edward E. Kleinschmidt has been for many years. We are confident that innovations and improvements upon innovations will continue to be forthcoming from that work.
Mr. Hall: In addition to the organizational changes necessitated by rapid growth in a company, administrative problems multiply as well. One such problem is that of effectively communicating to shareholders--new and old--the underlying theory and philosophy of that growth.
Anticipating that problem, early this year a new staff function within the office of the Secretary was created to coordinate shareholder activities and in this way to open new avenues of communication between the company and its owners.
As another step in providing more information to shareholders, we assembled the compendium of remarks by some of the senior operating people at SCM which you have just read, in them, we hope, "the meaning of Glidden" to your company and to you as a shareholder has been explained.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Office Equipment and Related Products
"Sales and rental income of the office equipment industry is expanding significantly in 1967, and, with a more robust economy envisaged in 1968, growth is likely to be at an even faster pace next year. Broader product lines and far from saturated markets are expected to foster par ticularly sharp increases for the two sectors that are already the fastest growing-electronic data processing and copying/duplicating."
--Standard & Poor's Industry Surveys, July 27,1967
ELECTROSTATIC COPIERS
First introduced in 1963, SCM's Coronastat family maintained its sec ond place position in the office copier field in fiscal 1967.
The Coronastat Models 33 and 44 are desktop copiers that have established a reputation for durability that is the envy of a constantly growing number of competitors. The Coronastat Model 55 is a compact office console cop ier, capable of copying any office document.
The copier market is explosive--and competitive. SCM's revenues from sales and service of electrostatic machines and products rose again in 1967. They were affected by the fact that more Coronastats are being placed on a Copy Service, or rental basis, rather than sold outright. In addition, there was some continued decl ine in per copy revenues through out the industry, although In SCM's case this was offset to a degree by the continued growth in the number of copies being made on Coronastats.
Fiscal 1968 should show continued improvement for SCM in the office copying business. Two new desktop Coronastats, now being introduced, will produce copies twice as fast as the older versions and should solidify SCM's pre-eminent position in desk top copiers. Also, the coin-operated
GLD38581

Model 55 Coronastat console now is in full production at the new Libertyville plant and placementsare being made in public, school and college libraries, and other public places around the country.
The Model 55 office console also is being received well. Many are re placing the machines of our compet itors and, occasionally, our own desktop copiers. The 55 uses about four times more coated paper and electrostatic supplies than the Models 33 and 44, and this makes replacing our own machines profitable.
The value of SCM electrostatic ma chines and products to the customer has been considerably enhanced by the development of the Copy Service concept. Under Copy Service, the Coronastat copier, paper and supplies are provided with the customer pay ing a pre-determined price for each copy made.
To keep pace with increased sales of electrostatic products, we added 35 new locations where SCM Coronastats are sold in the U.S. and Canada, and an unprecedented 22 new directselling branch offices overseas. We now have almost 400 locations in over 100 countries around the world.
SCM's office copiers utilize a special paper coated with polymeric resinbased zinc oxide. We have long felt the need to obtain a facility where we could manufacture some of this paper ourselves instead of relying wholly on outside suppliers. With the acquisi tion of a modern paper coating facility in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, shortly after the close of the fiscal year, we took this important step. With full control over the manufacturing oper ation in this new plant, we look for ward to further improvement of Coronastat paper as well as the oppor tunity to participate in the profitable paper coating business.
CALCULATORS
Among the broad variety of machines in increasing demand in offices the world over are calculators, adding machines and, of course, typewriters.
10
These are bread-and-butter items to SCM; a long tradition of producing quality equipment marketed under the Smith-Corona and Marchant trademarks has enabled the Company to make impressive sales gains in each of these areas each year--and fiscal 1967 was no exception.
It is becoming increasingly necessary to adapt office equipment--especially calculators--for use as accessory tools for computers and other advanced applications. Accordingly, a dramatic addition to the calculator line, the Cogito 566 PR, was recently introduced. Cogito (Latin for "I think") is the trademark used by SCM for its line of advanced, solid-state, electronic calculators. The Cogito 566 PR is a single unit machine capable of being programmed for up to 66 operations, which are then performed automatically. Computa tions and printing are accomplished in 1.5 seconds or less. Factors and results are printed in easy-to-read form on adding machine tape.
OFFICE TYPEWRITERS
Sales of Smith-Corona office type writers were improved in fiscal 1967 as a result of changes in marketing emphasis.
Increasingly, Smith-Corona type writers are competing in the morerapid ly growing electric typewriter business. The compact office electric, the Model 250, is our most successful product in this area, with sales registering a record 28 per cent gain in 1967. While there is still an ap preciable market for manuals (which SCM serves with a full line of machines), offices the world over are choosing the greater speed, efficiency and performance of higher-priced electric typewriters. Sales of electrics now constitute 80 per cent of all sales of office typewriters for com mercial use. SCM will introduce a full line of redesigned office typewriters in fiscal 1968.
OFFICE EQUIPMENT INTERNATIONAL
Sales of SCM's office products, particularly copiers, continued to gain
GL038582
'.Biwwy.................... .. ..... m.<wi. "T
around the world. Four years of intensified worldwide marketing efforts have resulted in a 300 per cent growth in sales and service revenues overseas. Coronastat copiers and supplies made the biggest gains. These products have been so suc cessful as to warrant the creation of branch sales offices around the world. Once volume in a given market justi fies this investment, we can dispense with attempting to sell our other office products through the more costly "distributor" method. Signifi cant increases also were recorded in overseas sales of typewriters and in the Hamann calculator line in the past year.
EDUCATIONAL PRODUCTS
Governments, local, state, and Federal, spend more money for education purposes than for any other single budget category. This has created a massive marketing oppor tunity in the past few years--to compare the "school market" of 1967 with previous years would be mean ingless.
SCM serves this market, at present, in two major ways: through sales of typewriters to educators for specific teaching tasks and, directly to the student, by sales of SCM portables.
Smith-Corona Educational typewriters are an example of both creative innovation and SCM's desire to make technical contributions to educational advances. The very successful Model 250 compact office electric (an innovation in itself) has proved eminently adaptable to these goals.
The small picture on this page shows the keyboard of a Model 250, adapted to aid in teaching small children to recognize letters. The child's finger nails are painted to conform to the color coded keys. Significant experi ments in which the 250 CCK was used, along with other techniques and devices, have been conducted with encouraging results.
Other educational adaptations of the Model 250 include the 250 KPT used to train key-punch operators, and
This compact office electric has been modified for use in helping children to recognize the letters of the alphabet. In combination with other teaching devices, the Model 250, so adapted, has proved to be of significant value to educators working with culturally deprived children.

Educational typewriters are not a major part of SCM's total typewriter business. The fact that they exist is a reflection rather of an awareness that this is an area in which we can serve both our shareholders and society in general. Wherever SCM technology can play a meaningful role, however minor, in helping better social conditions, we will take the opportunity to do so.
A potentially more profitable element of the school market lies in the sale of electric typewriters to schools for typing courses. The 250 is ideally suited to this purpose because of its full-size, full-feature key board and low maintenance cost.
An aspect of the education market frequently overlooked Is the student himself. It is to this market that the largest portion of our portable sales are made. Electric and battery operated portables, both SCM inno vations, are increasing their share of the total portable market despite their understandably higher cost when compared to manuals. The greatly increased college student population, the general increase in affluence of American parents and theirdesire to give their children every possible academic advantage and, perhaps, eye-weary professors' insistence that all papers be typed, have combined to make portables very important to SCM.
Students are not the only users of portable typewriters, of course. Sales for home and small business use are also rapidly growing. In the past few years, this market has also been tapped by healthy sales of light-duty adding machines, a field in which SCM is a leader. Now successfully promoted as a gift item, adding machines for home use may be expected to be in increased demand as more checking accounts need to be balanced and more care taken with income tax returns.
Chemicals, Coatings and Resins
"The propulsive force of this new age will be that chemical-electricelectronic-aerospace complex which now contains the countr/s techno logical elite, and which is phenom enally growing and inter-mixing into one giant, highly competitive innova tive industry." --Fortune, January 1967
In its merger with The Glidden Company, a worldwide diversified manufacturer of chemicals, coatings and resins and foods, SCM stands to participate in a number of exciting growth markets. Glidden brings to SCM approximately $200 million in annual sales of chemicals and coat ings. To have achieved this level through creation of a chemicals division and subsequent internal growth would have taken years of effort with no guarantee that so successful an operation as Glidden's would have been achieved.
The chemicals and coatings group within SCM's Glidden-Durkee Division is active in seven principal markets: organic and inorganic chemicals, metal powders, adhesives and build ing materials, consumer and main tenance coatings, industrial coatings, pigments and colors and ceramic and enamel materials. Each of these markets is served by a GliddenDurkee subdivision characterized by unusually competent operating, sales and marketing management and staff support.
Division management had developed short-and long-range plans for operations in each of these areas before the merger, and steps are being taken toward fulfil Iment of the goals established. The long-range plans take account of the rapid growth expected in many of the markets served.
Research and development expendi tures are the cornerstone to growth in these days of exploding chemistry technology. In the four-year period that will end in 1968 over $6 million will have been spent on Glidden-
GLD38585

Durkee research facilities alone. Notably included in this total will be the new $4 million Dwight P. Joyce Research Center in Cleveland. This wholly new facility is presently under construction and is expected to house a total of some 250 researchers, scientists and other employees in about a year's time. It will be one of the most advanced research centers of its type in the country. Other research facilities were recently expanded and modernized at the organic chemicals operation in Jacksonville, Florida.
In Ohio, the new Glidden polymer plant at Huron makes possible mean ingful SCM contributions to the vast variety of high-performance plastics, fibers, adhesives and other com posites based on polymer research that may well transform whole indus tries in the 1970's.
Here is a rundown of other chemicals and coatings activities:
Organic chemicals: Located in Florida, this division manufactures a variety of chemicals from sulphate turpentine and crude tall oil, by products of the wood pulp industry. Research in recent years led to the development of a growing line of perfumery and flavor chemicals. Many of these are suitable for replac ing costly imported flavors and fragrances used in manufacturing confections, perfume, soap and pharmaceutical products. In addition to their cost advantage, man-made flavors and fragrances have almost absolute chemical purity; there are none of the contaminants associated with nature's own product. Glidden synthetic flavor oils have been approved for use in soft drinks, candy, chewing gum and bakery products by the Food and Drug Administration. Ful ly 60 per cent of the sales of this important division have been devel oped in the past five years.

This Durkee pro-portioned, preprocessed chicken Is about to be consumed at a new King Fish drive-in near Louis ville, Kentucky. Durkee also supplied the vegetable oil in which the chicken was deepfried. Food service to all segments of the "away-fromhome" market now accounts forgross annual sales of almost $30 billion.

Durkee Foods
"Aspects of the huge U.S. foods market with the greatest prospects for growth include specialty and conven ience foods as well as food service to the away-from-home market. With more money, more places to go and more time to do it, American house wives want to prepare quality foods quickly. Or, better yet, eat out." --From a Glidden-Durkee study.
The growth-oriented Durkee Foods group, long an important member of the Glidden family, presents SCM with the opportunity to participate in yet another basic U.S. industry with good growth potential.
Durkee Foods is divided into three principal areas: food service, con sumer sales and industrial sales. These divisions serve, respectively, the away from home market, such as restaurants, drive-ins, hospitals and the like; the consumer, in packaged convenience foods and spices; and large food processors.
We expect the greatest growth and profitability in the Food service business. Through more than 1200 distributors in all major markets, Durkee sells a growing line of quality pre-processed foods to restaurants, vending machine operators, drive-ins, in-transit feeders and government institutions.
Consumer products and spices is where Durkee started--and is still growing. Our aim in this area is to provide quick-to-prepare food special ties that taste good. We can do this better than most because GliddenDurkee people know food chemistry, know processing and know food marketing. We expect to continue to be a major factor in this basic market through a rapidly growing line of quality convenience foods sold, through wholesalers, to grocery chains and other food stores.
Durkee's industrial food products division sells to food processors such as wholesale bakeries and the con fectionery industry. Glidden-Durkee people have unrivaled technical
ability and knowledge of vegetable oil and emulsifiers. The development, through chemistry, of dairy product substitutes, for example, is but one avenue toward continued growth and profitability in this area.
The basic aim in all of Durkee's food operations is to provide convenience and quality to the consumer whether it be in proportion-controlled entree items to a restaurant, a gravy mix to the housewife or a new dai ry product substitute to an industrial baker. These aspects of the food business--the convenience and specialty foods aspects--are rapidly growing. SCM, through Durkee foods, expects to participate fully in that growth.
Proctor & Schwartz
In addition to serving industry at home and overseas with industrial and maintenance coatings, SCM manufactures, through its relatively small Proctor & Schwartz Machinery Division, an extensive line of custommade process control machinery. Primary customers include the food, tobacco and textile industries. SCM capital goods equipment is usually large, elaborate and one-of-its kind, designed for a special industrial process. New orders continue at a satisfactory rate.
The outstanding characteristic of the Machinery Division is the high quality of its entire systems engineering organization. Proctor & Schwartz people have come to be recognized around the world as experts in the high-speed, continuous-process textile machine and drying equipment industry. The increasing prefer ence for systems-designed electro mechanical equipment both at home and overseas should provide new impetus to this division.
During fiscal 1967, acquisition by SCM of L & W Machine Works in Rock Hill, South Carolina, complemented the line of continuous-process textile equipment available.
GLD38591

Appliances
"What the teenage explosion did for the youth market in the mid-sixties, the fast-growing "young marrieds" will do for the home goods market by 1970. Producers of all the things that go into homes--necessities and luxuries, standard products and new developments--will benefit." --From an SCM study.
Consumer spending for durable goods (automobiles, furniture, appliances and the like) was about $45 billion in 1960. By 1970 this figure should almost double to $84 billion and we think the $100 billion mark will be passed shortly thereafter. With an expanding line of household appliances, SCM's Proctor-Silex Division is admirably situated to participate fully in this growth.
Since becoming a part of the SCM family, Proctor-Silex has contributed more than its share of profits based on the number of shares issued to acquire it. Assisted by new capital to finance growth both internally and by acquisitions, this healthy contribution is expected to continue.
With the acquisition of Shetland Incor porated, new products, including the Lewyt line of vacuum cleaners and floor polishers, were added to the basic SCM appliance group. Shetland will add approximately $20 million in SCM appliance sales.
National distribution of Proctor-Silex "Lifelong" appliances will begin in the fall of 1967. Because of the modular or building-block approach to their manufacture, "Lifelong" appliances need never be returned to the factory for servicing. If an element should wear out or get broken, the housewife simply purchases a new element and replaces it herself. All of the 50,000 outlets for Proctor-Silex products will carry a full line of replacement parts.
It is likely that the Proctor-Silex "Lifelong" concept will be studied and eventually imitated by competitors, but a considerable advantage in manufacting lead-time has already been established.

This array of Proctor- Silex "Lifelong" appliances represents a cre ative application of advanced concepts to already success ful consumer products. SCM product engineers constantly study each other's work. While some examine the possibility of a "Lifelong" typewriter, others investigate "cordless" appliances.

Telecommunications
"By the 1970's, industry observers predict, hundreds of thousands of (computer remote) terminals--with related communications support equipment--will be In use. The total market, they add, will come to at least $1 billion a year in shipments and installations by 1972." --Business Week, August 5,1967
Sales and profits of Kleinschmidt Telecommunications Division continued to make significant con tributions to SCM sales and earnings in 1967. The changing nature of military requirements have resulted in an unprecedented backlog of orders both for Kleinschmidt's standard military teleprinters and the new electronic Models 311 and 321. More land and buildings were acquired in 1967 to expand SCM operations in this increasingly important aspect of our business. Airlines are showing a growing interest in Kleinschmidt electronic data printers. As computers come on line in ticketing and reservation systems, the need for instantaneous and rapid print-out creates a parallel need for equipment like Kleinschmidt's models 311 and 321.
One of the most exciting products developed recently through Kleinschmidt research istheTelescripter, pictured at right. The Telescripter is a small, fully tran sistorized teleprinter designed for use i n pol ice cars and other mobile installations as well as for such stationary locations as turnpike toll booths.
Designed primarily as a crime fighting tool for law enforcement agencies, the Telescripter will virtually guarantee ungarbled printed communications wherever normal radio transmission is possible. The policeman need not return to his vehicle each time a radio call comes in--whether a license number of a stolen car ora description of a fleeing suspect; the Telescripter has the message in printed form when he gets back.
22
ata Processing Systems
SCM's Data Processing Systems Division was formed by capitalizing on the technological and research skills of Marchant Calculators and Kleinschmidt data printers, with a healthy assist from Smith- Corona typewriters. The system, known collectively as Typetronic, is completely modular; each unit can be sold separately or in conjunction with others depending upon customer need.
The aspect of data processing SCM is most interested in has scarcely been tapped: small-and medium-sized businesses and the decentralized locations of larger businesses. We do not manufacture "multimilliondollar monsters" but strive instead to bring big systems capabi lity to smaller users with limited clerical staffs. We believe the day is coming when a kind of data processing capability will be essential to all medium-sized businesses, whether a beer distributor, the stock transfer division of a bank or a large warehouse.
Further success at DPS will depend on further innovations. New products, developed through planned engineering and research programs, will be introduced in 1968 as SCM continues to help make it possible for the businessman to cope with the paperwork blizzards that follow each new advance in the "science and technology explosion."
This report to our shareholders on the business of SCM opened and closed with a discussion of our opportunities related to the business of information handling. Serving that business, both as it exists today and as it will grow in the future, remains one of our primary goals. In the inter vening pages we reported on other aspects of SCM, many new, some old. The prospects for growth discussed in those pages are equally as exciting to the Company.
There are more than 165,000 police cars in the United States. The Telescripter, an innovation from the Klein schmidt Telecommunications Division, is shown being tested by police in a large Midwestern city. Should a message come over his radio while the officer is investigat ing an accident near the am bulance in the background, it will be printed out in his absence at 100 words per minute. The signals are broadcast In a special code minimizing possible Inter ception or garbling. The Telescripter is equally suit able for other mobile appli cations, especially in the transportation Industry.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Merger With The Glidden Company
On September 22, 1967 The Glidden Company was merged into SCM Corpo ration, completing steps initiated on May 16,1967 when the merger agree ment between the two companies was signed. Glidden-Durkee will be operated as a Division of SCM Corporation.
SCM acquired, for $66,867,000, 2,157,000 shares of Glidden stock from a stockholder who had recently acquired them through a public tender offer. Concurrent with the merger these shares were cancelled and the balance of 5,010,000 shares of Glidden common stock were exchanged for 2,305,000 shares of SCM common stock. The fi nancing for the Glidden shares acquired was arranged through a group of banks under an agreement whereby this bor rowing will be replaced prior to August 2,1968 by permanent financing. It is the company's intention to refinance these borrowings through rights offer ings of common stock and convertible debt and with non-convertible debt.
This merger has been treated as a pool ing of interests, and therefore all finan cial statements in this Annual Report are for SCM and Glidden combined for all periods shown.
Changes in Capitalization
In addition to the changes resulting from the Glidden merger, described above, there were several other changes in SCM's capital structure during the past year. During the year 113,000 shares of common stock were issued for the acquisition of several companies. In February, 1967 $20,000,000 of 5%% debentures were sold. In March, 1967 the Glidden $2,125 preferred stock was called for redemption and in June, 1967 SCM's 5V*% convertible debentures were called for redemption. Over 96% of the original amount of these securi ties has been converted into common stock. All of these changes simplified the capital structure in preparation for the Glidden merger and forthcoming refinancing.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share for all periods shown in this report have been calcu lated based on the SCM and Glidden
24
combined average common shares out standing during the respective periods adjusted for subsequent stock divi dends. In fiscal 1968, common shares outstanding will be reduced by 992,000 shares as a result of the cancellation of 2.157.000 Glidden shares acquired for cash and will subsequently be increased by the common shares sold under the , refinancing program. These changes in common shares outstanding are not expected to have a material effect on fiscal 1968's earnings per share, which will again be calculated based on aver age common shares outstanding during the year.
Sales
Sales volume was $640,064,000, an increase of 10% over last year's $582,760,000 and an all-time record for the company, as has been the case for each of the past eight years.
Results for SCM Corporation and The Glidden Company separately also set sales records. Sales for SCM separately were $275,866,000, up 15% over last year's $240,560,000. Glidden's sales of $364,198,000 were up 6% over $342,200.000 for the preceding year, with both years restated to a June 30 basis.
Major increases for SCM over last year were domestic sales of portable type writers which were up 25%, worldwide electrostatic revenues which increased 20% despite a substantial shift in the proportion of machines placed under lease, and Proctor-Silex household ap pliances which showed an 11% increase despite the housewares industry show ing declines during much of the period due to general economic conditions. This increase in household appliance sales does not include sales of Shetland Incorporated, which was purchased in April, 1967.
Glidden sales were 55% in coatings, resins and chemicals, and 45% in foods, with the principal increases over last year occurring in foods.
Earnings
Net income was $23,623,000, up 5% over last year's $22,406,000. Earnings per share were $3.13 based on 7,443,000 average shares compared to last year's adjusted figure of $3.11 based on 7.068.000 average shares, both calcu lated as described above.
Results for SCM Corporation separately increased 10% over last year to $11,776,000 or $2.70 a share, com pared to $10,658,000 of net earnings or $2.60 a share for the previous year; this was a record for the fourth con secutive year.
Net income for The Glidden Company separately was $11,847,000 compared to $11,748,000 for the preceding year. Earnings per share on Glidden shares before conversion to SCM shares were $1.72 a share, compared to $1.75 for the preceding year.
Portable typewriters and electrostatic products contributed the largest share of SCM profit. Proctor-Silex appliances were next and contributed more than their share of earnings to the separate SCM results based on the number of shares issued to acquire Proctor-Silex. Profits from Glidden-Durkee product lines were roughly proportionate to sales volumes, except that chemicals were somewhat more profitable as a percent of sales and foods were somewhat less profitable. It should be noted that generally, the products experiencing the greatest growth rates are the more profitable ones.
Cash and Stock Dividends
During the year SCM paid a quarterly cash dividend of 10$, and in October, 1966 paid a 3% stock dividend. On August 17,1967, in recognition of continuing improvement in operations and the forthcoming Glidden merger, the Board of Directors voted to in crease the quarterly cash dividend to 15$, and to continue its stock dividend policy by declaring a stock dividend for the sixth consecutive year. This dividend is 3% and will be paid on October 16, following the SCM-Glidden merger, so that it is available to both groups of stockholders.
Net Capital Expenditures
Net capital expenditures were $32,036,000, compared to the preceding year's $19,379,000. The major items of in crease are the expansion of portable typewriter facilities at Cortland, N.Y., construction of new office copier facilities at Libertyville, III., a substantial increase in the number of office copying machines placed on lease, and the fixed assets of companies acquired.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Principles of Consolidation All wholly owned operating subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial state ments.
In September, 1967 The Glidden Company was merged into SCM and the consolidated financial statements for 1966 and 1967 give effect to this merger as a pooling of interests. In connection with the merger, SCM acquired for cancellation 2,157,113 shares from a stockholder who acquired these shares shortly before the merger through a tender offer and SCM issued 2,304,606 shares of its common stock for the remaining 5,010,013 shares of The Glidden Company. The acquisition of the Glidden shares was fi nanced with bank loans which the company intends to retire during the next fiscal year with the proceeds of sales of additional shares of common stock and long-term con vertible and non-convertible debt securities.
Several other acquisitions were made dur ing 1967 by issuance, in the aggregate, of 112,636 shares of common stock. Certain of these acquisitions were treated as pool ings of interest; however, since the opera tions of these companies are not significant in relation to total consolidated operations, 1966 results were not restated.
Long-Term Debt At June 30, 1967 long-term debt due after one year consisted of the following:
5V4% sinking fund deben tures--due 1983 ........... $ 23,995,000
594% sinking fund deben tures--due 1987 ...........
20,000,000
Bank loans--prime rate plus a fraction ....................... 28,000,000
Notes payable to insurance companies.......................
11,375,000
Other loans.........................
6,744,132
$ 90,114,132
During the next five years long-term debt maturities will be:
1968, $2,234,000; 1969, $5,789,000; 1970, $7,458,000; 1971, $9,669,000; 1972, $11,633,000.
Under the most restrictive provisions of the loan agreements, at June 30,1967 $4,800,000 of retained earnings was available for cash dividends. This amount will increase by $6,800,000 when the Company's plan for re-financing the borrowings for the Glidden shares acquired is accomplished (see "Principles of Consolidation").

Haskins & Sells Certified Public Accountants
Two Broadway New York, N.Y. 10004
We have examined the financial statements of SCM Corporation and its subsidiaries, except The Glidden Company and its subsidiaries, for the year ended June 30,1967. Our examina tion 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. As to the amounts included in the financial statements for the Glidden Company and its subsidiaries, which amounts constitute sub stantial portions of the respective consolidated totals, we were furnished with the report of other accountants on their examination of the financial statements of such companies for the year.
In our opinion, based on our examination and the report of other accountants referred to above, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the statements of consolidated income and consolidated retained earnings present fairly the financial position of the com panies at June 30,1967 and the results of their operations for the year then ended, in con formity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year, and the accompanying statement of consolidated source and applica tion of funds presents fairly the information shown therein.
