Stories of the Week

Grand fellow Ed Flannery passes on this intelligence:

A doctor in Hartford, Connec- ticut, has three phones con- nected to his home. One is personal, another business, and the third is listed:

“Dr. So-and-so’s Daughters.”

The harassed father has five popular daughters in his com- bination home-office. Until he installed a private phone for them, his patients couldn’t make appointments.

Happy New Year!

Women come in four sizes— thin, medium, plump, and “Get a load of her!” — American Eagle.

Dear Dope:

New Year’s is at hand again, and here we are without any cards, so we've decided to type a personal greeting.

It’s a chilly evening here in northern Ohio, but cozy enough as we sit by the fire pecking away at the family portable and sipping Martinis. We wish you were here to have one with us, but since you’re not the least we can do is to toast your health and happiness. Soo— time out while we bend our elbows again—to YOU.

We've also taken time out to mix another Martini and while we were out in the kitchen we thought we might as well drink it there and mix another, so you can imagine we're beggining to fee wuite mellow. It’s funny how a vold drink can warm up youre stomach, isn’t it?

Mary was feeling a little dizzy from sitting tto close to the fire so we muxed another Maryini and now our heads are cjear as a bell again. You sijply cannot beat the combina- tion of good gen, vermouth, and stugged olives.

Mayhe we will even singe a caroll or wto to get itno the prOper sprit. This country is good ac evre was even witj the taxes—there ujst isn8t a bettre country.

So here8s to yuor health agan—Ha::Y NEW YAER.

Yoir Frenz, Bill and Buck.

Balance In Copper Supply, Demand Due

NEW YORK CITY—Many in- formed persons in the copper in- dustry are expecting that there will be a balance between the supply and demand of copper during the first quarter of 1956, according to T. E. Veltfort, man- ager of the Copper & Brass Re- search Association.

A few people even believe there may be a slight surplus of supply over demand by the middle of the year.

“Naturally, these predictions are predicated on the assumption that there will be no serious strikes or other interruptions in

Motor Products May Sell Deepfreeze Div.

CHICAGO — Directors of Motor Products Corp., Detroit, will meet early this month to decide on disposition of the fa- cilities of the company’s Deep- freeze Appliance Div., it has been reported.

The directors recently decided to discontinue operation of the division as of March 31.

One report said Motors Prod- ucts plans to sell the plant, ma- chinery, and equipment of the division after Deepfreeze halts production on that date. R. J. Nixon, president of Motor Prod-

Much of this issue, in particular many of the stories starticg on page 1, might come under the genera! heading: A Look Ahead.”

Air Conditioning Sales To Go Higher

Ar! Reports 5%

Rise In Room

In’56,WamplerSays Unit Shipments

NEW YORK CITY—The air conditioning industry in 1956 will break all previous records for the seventh consecutive year with total sales at retail of about $3.2 billion, is the year- end prediction of Cloud Wamp- ler, chairman and president of Carrier Corp.

The biggest percentage growth will again come in the residen- tial field, with central air con- ditioning installations in homes increasing to about 200,000 for the year at a retail value of nearly $% billion, Wampler predicted.

By 1960 central comfort sys- tems will be installed in well over 14 million homes annually, he believes, and by 1965 this will have increased to 1,150,000 a year with a retail dollar value of about $1% billion. The number of such systems installed an- nually 10 years hence will be about the same as the number

UsAireo to Purchase Jordon Refrigerator

MINNEAPOLIS — United States Air Conditioning Corp. has contracted to purchase for cash all the outstanding stock of Jordon Refrigerator Co. of Philadelphia, David E. Feinberg, president, has an- nounced.

Feinberg said that no changes are planned in the present operations or person- nel of Jordon, which will be operated as a subsidiary of UsAirco.

UsAirco will utilize these new East Coast plant facili- ties for manufacture of cer- tain of its air conditioning products as well as for the regular Jordon equipment line.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—Man- ufacturers’ shipments of room air conditioners for 1955 will be about 1,290,000 units, com- pared with about 1,230,000 units last year, or an increase of 5%, it has been announced by Geo. S. Jones, Jr., managing director of the Air-Conditioning and Re- frigeration Institute (ARI).

“This increase in manufactur- ers’ shipments, coupled with a decrease in inventories of better than 50%, resulted in an over- all 30% increase in retail move- ment during the selling years,” Jones stated.

“The further advances in de- sign and efficiency being incor- porated into 1956 models indi- cate a record-breaking year to come,” Jones predicted.

Remington Plans No Yearly Models

In Window Units

AUBURN, N. Y.—Ten basic models and new policies that feature the Remington program for 1956 were recently presented to company sales representa- tives at the annual sales confer- ence here by the Air Condition- ing Div. of Remington Corp.

Herbert L. Laube, president of Remington, disclosed that the company is extending to its window unit line the policy of no yearly models. The firm adopted a similar policy for its console models several years ago.

It was also announced that reverse cycle units for off-season heating, offered during the last two years in % and 1-hp. sizes, have been discontinued in favor of optional electric heat.

In addition to a pre-season

‘Atomic Energy Era’—What Will It Mean To Our Industry and How Soon?

By Phil B. Redeker

DETROIT — What will the “Era of Atomic Energy” mean to the air conditioning and re- frigeration industry? How soon will the industry feel the effects of developments in this field.

It can be predicted rather easily that the developments that will spring from the peace- ful uses of atomic energy may well affect most every industry and individual homes and life in

those homes. And a recent visit to the Nuclear Engineering Con- gress and Atomic Energy Ex- position held in December in Cleveland pointed up the fact that the practical effects may be felt sooner than the public has been anticipating.

But to get to the direct effects on air conditioning and refrig- eration. Let’s take air condition-

Refrigerator Sales In ’55 To Top 4 Million

NEMA Predicts Freezers To Pass 1.1 Million, Other Products To Gain

NEW YORK CITY—Total in- dustry sales of more than 4 million household refrigerators and more than 1 million home freezers during the year 1955 were forecast recently by the National Electrical Manufac- turers Association here.

This will represent an increase of 10% over 1954 for both ap- pliances.

At the same time, NEMA re- leased figures for refrigerator and freezer sales by member firms for September and the first nine months of 1955.

At the end of the third quarter, refrigerator sales breezed past the 3 million mark while freezer sales hit 579,000 units. This represents a 17% increase over last year for re- frigerators and an 8% increase for freezers.

Refrigerator sales for Sep- tember, at 313,142 units, was 15% ahead of the same month

in 1954 but only slightly ahead (Concluded on Page 18, Col. 5)

Carrier ’55 Fiscal Net Is $8,487,220

SYRACUSE, N. Y. — Carrier Corp. recently reported a net profit of $8,487,220 for the fiscal year ended Oct. 31, 1955.

Reflected in this total are the earnings for the same 12-months period of the former Affiliated Gas Equipment, Inc., which was merged into Carrier Corp. as of March 1, 1955.

The net profit for fiscal 1955 amounts to $4.82 per share of common stock as compared with $4.69 per share reported by Carrier Corp. alone in fiscal 1954. Both of these figures are based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding at the end of each period.
