| 1091. Oct 1937. EXTRACT FROM "THE DAILY MAIL" ROVER PROGRESS. The remarkable change-round in the affairs of the Rover Co., motor-car manufacturers, in the last seven years is carried a stage further by the publication of the financial results for the year to July 31 last. Here are the figures since 1931:- Trading Trading Net Total Profit Loss Profit Loss £ £ £ £ 1931 43,400 --- --- 77,530 1932 --- 95,983 --- 225,413 1933 46,844 --- 7,511 --- 1934 133,405 --- 94,439 --- 1935 210,999 --- 152,910 --- 1936 212,756 --- 165,282 --- 1937 299,224 --- 200,921 --- Increasing demand for the company's products has necessitated the steady development of manufacturing facilities. But the directors are continuing the policy of concentrating on the production of cars of the highest quality. For the new season it has not been found necessary to alter the range of models. The number of orders on the books constitutes a record in the company's history. | ||
