Owing to the moulders' strike and other causes, the position of the Company is that we are paying out sovereigns by the thousand and receiving very few sovereigns from purchasers. Therefore output is of prime importance. If there is any idea of making alterations in design, which would impede output, the above consider-ation must be applied. It is desired, therefore, that all officers will bear these outstanding circumstances in mind in connection with any proposed alteration in design. CJ. | ||
