New York, N. Y .— The American
Chicle Co. has reported earnings of
$975,000 for the third quarter. A fter
deduction of taxes and charges, this
equals $2.13 a common share, as com­
pared with $930,084 for 1938.
In the first eight months of 1939
sales were 18 per cent over last year.
The company expects to pay an extra
dividend of $1 a share and a quarter­
ly dividend of $1 a share in the final
quarter this year. This would make
total payments for the year of $6 a
share, against $5.50 last year.

The State tax in New York of 2
cents on each cigarette package re­
turned $5,303,161 to the treasury
during its first two months of oper­
ation. The net yield to the State was
$5,039,627, since $265,534 was the
amount of commissions to wholesaler-
agents for affixing stamps.
F o r the month of August sales
amounted to $2,168,344; Ju ly sales
were $1,825,652; and for the last
10 days of June prior to Ju ly 1,
when the tax became effective, sales
amounted to $1,309,164.
Besides the State tax there is also
an additional tax of one cent per
package levied by New York City.
Time to give the boys in the band a little rest, so this group of jitter-
addicts at Jack Lynch’s N ight Club atop the Hotel Walton Roof, popular
Philadelphia night spot, gather around the Wurlitzer to get an extra ear­
fu l of rhythm and melody. The Wurlitzer plays during intermission
periods, thereby making "possible an evening of continuous music. “ Yes,”
says Barney Zeeman to Jim m y Blake as hosts for the Hotel Walton, “ You
can always depend on the W urlitzer to take care of every musical need
in any emergency.” And Helene Heath, Sally Lama't'r, and Frances East­
man agree.
