deliveries during the last part of 1959 and the early months of 1960 were extra ordinarily high and at rate greater than its production This high demand while based in part on the companys market development programs has been causing primarily by rising in dustrial activity throughout the world and by purchases by in dustry beyond immediate cort sumptiun needs in preparation for future
