ZENITH AND Q R S FAVORED
On Chicago Stock Exchange This Week Securities
of Industries Named Show Upward Trend.
Of securities on the Chicago Stock Exchange this
week, Zenith radio touched a new high mark on
Wednesday of 79 and Grigsby-Grunow, the Elimina-
tor concern, was strong. Q R S was also one of
the favored stocks to be dealt in largely. Zenith and
Q R S have displayed marked upward trend for sev-
eral weeks past. The annual report of Lyon & Healy
was out this week and showed the effects of decline
in wholesale and increased overhead, but Raymond
E. Durham, in his annual review says the company
has confidence in the future of the business and has
taken steps for its expansion.
"Our retail sales for the year 1927 showed an in-
crease over 1926," said Mr. Durham, "but a decrease
was shown on wholesale sales. Both our wholesale
and retail sales for the first quarter of 1928 show
increases over 1927, and our earnings for the first
quarter of 1928 show a substantial improvement over
1926 and 1927."
The balance sheet as of December 31 last shows
total assets and liabilities of $6,582,948, against $6,-
517,572 at the end of 1926, and profit and loss surplus
of $659,844, aganist $471,307.
