- Editor's Notes
- "Dyer writes that the French Company have ordered some lamps to be sent to Ivry, near Paris, for the trade in France, and that a few weeks ago they ordered one lot of 4,000 to be sent by express. This opens up a new field, and one which, if we can keep to the promises all the curves which have been made upon the new departures in manufacture, will afford us a very large trade. ### Lieb writes as follows:-- ## 'In regard to our Company, it is very prosperous, especially the Central Station is doing well; it will pay a dividend of 5% on all its business, and the Central Station has been earning at the rate of 6 1/2% on the average, with a heavy amount accredited to depreciation. We are selling quite a number of lamps to firms using other dynamos than the Edison. There is also more of confidence in the value of the patents, and I should not be surprised if some action against flaring infringements should be taken ere long.'" Quoted material is D8734ABF.
