Our cover picture for this report shows an asbestos-clad scientist (top of page) at PPG's Glass Research Center pouring an experimental sample of molten glass from a glowing crucible. The other photographs (above) illustrate research activities of the Chemical Division, Coatings and Resins Division, and Fiber Glass Division.
New products from these PPG laborato ries have contributed to the success of Project Mercury; have made daily work
more pleasant for millions because of
glass-clad offices and color-bedecked fac tories; and have benefited the health and welfare of the nation in its hospitals and schools. But, in addition to these note worthy contributions, new PPG products (as our Company slogan indicates) also help create a `'better life for you."
This "better life," specifically, involves the average American's interest in travel, sports, backyard fun, and other leisurely pursuits related to the highest standard of living in the world. And while investing in

In 1962. Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company i: creased its sales by 9r? over the preceding ye. to establish a new high of $656,670,000. Th achievement, due in large part to the genera! high level of the American economy, also r fleets favorably the Company's determinate to improve market positions through intens tied selling efforts and new products.
Earnings of $46,004,000, an improvement 24'r over the preceding year, were equivale; to $4.05 per share after the 2% stock divider paid -January 21, 1963. The earnings increa.resulted from a combination of many cost in provements and the larger sales volume. Th Company has taken full advantage of the tn effects of the 7% investment credit and th new depreciation guideline procedures with th result that cash flow was improved. Howevei the higher depreciation allowed for tax put poses was not charged against earnings; const quently. earnings in 1962 were not reducer: The benefits of the investment credit will b reflected in earnings over the life of the equq ment acquired.
The management is pleased to be able t report significant improvement in earnings, bu is fully aware that profits in some prior year were higher on smaller sales volumes. In 1962 as in the several years immediately preceding prices for many of our products continued t> decline. Meanwhile, as in prior years, the cos of wages and fringe benefits per man-hour con tinued to rise. The introduction of labor-savin: equipment and improved methods partialh offset the effect of these higher wage costs Still, the cost-price squeeze which is impairin: the profitability of American industry is als< affecting PPG. The future course of this squeezt involves factors beyond the responsibility o. business. Foremost among these are the atti tudes of government and the implementatior. of such attitudes through legislation, regula tion, and other forms of control.
Despite the uncertainties of the times, we continue to be optimistic about possibilities for future earnings improvement. Essential to such optimism is a willingness to spend substantia: sums for research and for capital improvements and expansion. During 1962, almost $20 million was spent for research in the laboratories of the divisions; current budgets are even higher. The total of capital expenditures and investments in affiliates in 1962 amounted to $37,906,000, Commitments at the end of the year for such future expenditures totaled $94,000,000.

Sullivan of Minneapolis, Minn., was elected as Director on February 6, 1963, to replace Mr. Woods. The sales and earnings of Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company in 1963 will depend in large part on levels of activity in the industries that buy its products. Assuming that conditions of the markets in which we sell will not be appre ciably different from those experienced in 1962, the Company should register some further im provement in both sales and earnings. In making this report to you, I should like to acknowledge our dependence for success on our shareholders, employees, customers and suppliers, and to take this opportunity to ex press the appreciation of management for the vital contributions that each group has made.

ACCOUNTANTS' OPINION
Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, Its Shareholders and Directors:
We have examined the financial statements of Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company and its consoli dated subsidiaries, except certain Canadian sub sidiaries, for the year ended December 31, 1962. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accord ingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we consid ered necessary in the circumstances. As to the Canadian subsidiaries referred to above, we were
furnished with reports of other accountants on their examination of the financial statements of those subsidiaries for the year.
In our opinion, which in so far as it relates to the amounts included for certain Canadian sub sidiaries is based solely upon the reports of other accountants, the accompanying consolidated bal ance sheet, summary of consolidated earnings and earnings retained for use in the business, and sum mary of financial activities present fairly the finan cial position of Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company and consolidated subsidiaries at December 31, 1962 and the results of their operations for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

The estimated investment credit on new facilities, allowed by the Revenue Act of 1962 as a reduction of taxes payable has been applied against property. The permanent tax saving, approximately 48% of the credit at current tax rates, will be included in income over the life of the facilities.
Proposed Expenditures for Property and Investments
Approximately $94,000,000 will be required to complete capital projects approved prior to De cember 31, 1962, and for investments in other companies.
Long-Term Debt
During 1962, the Company retired $5,301,000 (in cluding current maturities) of its long-term debt.
As of December 31, 1962, the long-term debt con sisted of $13,234,000 of 3% Sinking Fund Deben
tures due in annual installments on April 1 of each of the years 1964 through 1967, $5,000,000 of 31/%% Promissory Notes due in annual install ments on May 1 of each of the years 1964 through 1967 and an obligation for $1,050,000 payable in 1965. The latter could, provided certain conditions are satisfied, require the payment of $5,000,000.
Stock Option Plans
As of December 31, 1962, 362,601 shares of the Company's common stock were reserved for issu ance upon exercise of employee stock options, and at that date there were outstanding options on 256,090 shares at prices ranging from $45.06 to $70.33 per share. Options were granted during 1962 to purchase 74,925 shares at $45.06 per share (adjusted for the stock dividend declared in 1962). During 1962 options on 23 shares were exercised under these plans.
Deferred Income Taxes
Depreciation for income tax purposes on certain facilities currently exceeds normal depreciation as recorded in the accounts. To offset the effect of this difference, deferred income taxes of $2,800,000 have been included in the 1962 tax provision. In later years, when depreciation recorded in the accounts will exceed that deductible for tax pur poses, the amount so deferred will be credited to income. At the end of 1962, accumulated tax deferrals amounted to $25,000,000, of which $3,500,000 resulted from adoption of the new de preciation guideline procedures and $21,500,000 resulted from accelerated amortization of emer gency facilities.
Dividends
Cash dividends amounted to $22,968,000 on com mon stock and consisted of four quarterly pay ments of $.55 for a total of $2.20 per share then outstanding. The Company also declared a 2% stock dividend amounting to 210,598 shares pay able on January 21,1963, to shareholders of record on November 30,1962. The market value of these shares on the declaration date was transferred from retained earnings to the capital accounts.
Pensions and Retirement Plans
The Company has non-contributory pension plans
covered by agreements with a number of labor
unions, contributory retirement plans covered by
group annuity contracts, and a voluntary plan
under which the Company, in its sole discretion,
grants pensions, retirement allowances, or relief.
With the exception of the voluntary plan, the
plans are insured or are being funded through a
trustee. The contributory retirement plan appli
cable to most salaried employees was revised and
became a non-contributory plan on December 24,
1962. Total pension costs charged to income in
1962 amounted to $5,266,000.

mericans spend about $20 billion
Aevery year for new cars--partly out of
necessity, but also for pleasure. The fact that Detroit introduced more fancy sports cars in the 1963 model year than ever before is a good indication that the automobile continues to be a possession prized far beyond its basic transportation value.
But whatever motivates Americans to buy, PPG benefits in several ways from almost every new car sale. The bright, du rable seats in this popular Sports Coupe (above) are made of a versatile synthetic material known as polyvinyl chloride. PPG
chlorine and ethylene dichloride are sup plied to numerous manufacturers for proc essing this plastic material. The shiny trim which adorns this and other models is processed with PPG chrome chemicals. And a PPG reinforcing pigment, Hi-Sil, is used in the manufacture of automobile tires and other rubber parts to give them added life and strength.
While our chemicals play a "hidden" role in automotive production, the PPG emblem is quite familiar to many motorists who see it on the safety glass windshields and win dows of many popular models. And the brilliant finish on today's biggest selling new cars (it retains its luster without wax ing) is PPG Duracryl--a revolutionary de velopment from the Coatings and Resins Division's Research Center. Steering wheels also use colorful PPG finishes.
But the role PPG plays in the automotive industry doesn't end there. The new Studebaker sports car, the Avanti, has a rein forced plastic body made with PPG Fiber Glass. Fiber Glass mat is also used under the hood and elsewhere in many models as an insulating material.
WHILE the nation still travels primarily on wheels, an increasing number of Americans are taking to the air. Although most of the 38 billion passenger miles flown last year represented business trips, an increasing number of pleasure-seekers are taking to the jets. And as air travel grows, so will PPG. Giant new air terminals such as O'Hare Field (lower left) in Chicago employ scores of PPG architectural mate rials in their construction. The huge win dows at O'Hare, for example, are heat absorbing, glare-reducing, Solargray Twindow polished plate glass with a matching opaque glass wall panel of PPG Spandrelite (background). Both are products from the PPG Glass Research Center.
PPG also shared in the construction of the sleek Boeing 720 seen approaching the ramp in this picture. Its windshield is made of PPG Nesa glass--a special de-icing glass, developed after exhaustive research, which conducts electricity. The 720's rein forced plastic ductwork, radome, and a handy, detachable luggage pod all use PPG Fiber Glass and Selectron resin in their con struction. The aluminum in today's trans port planes is processed with PPG caustic soda and soda ash. And, in addition, the leather in the young lady's matching hand bag, gloves, and shoes was processed with PPG chrome and barium chemicals.

Since many of these homes hug the shores of rivers, lakes and oceans, they represent an excellent market for PPG's newly devel oped, glare-reducing gray glasses. And the great, vaulted roof-decks require sub stantial quantities of Pittsburgh Paints, Rez Wood Tones, and varnishes.

With an annual four per cent growth, the game attracted nearly six million golfers last year who chipped their way around 6,385 courses. And, in the constant search to improve their game, they spent $100 million on new equipment.

More than 150 rail cars of Pittsburgh products were used in the glass curtain walls as well as interior partitions, doors, and fittings of the five high-rise buildings which were glazed by PPG's wholly-owned subsidiary, Canadian Pittsburgh Industries, Limited.
