Bigelow-Sanford Sales Up 11%;
Same Trend Expected in 1964
A 11 1 2 per cent increase in net sales was noted by
Bigelow-Sanford, Inc. last year, compared with the pre
ceding year, Lowell P. Weicker, president, has just an
nounced. And he predicted at least a 10 per cent increase
this year. ( —
Georgia Rug Mill at Summer- I
ville and Lyerly are Bigelow as-:
filiates.
Consolidated net sales for the
firm were $87,500,000, compared
with $78,500,000 for 1962, it was ।
stated.
Consolidated net profit for
1963, after taxes and after pro
vision for 1963 dividends on the
preferred stock, amounted to
$2.61 per common share com
pared with $2.08 at year-end,
1963. This is an increase in

i earnings of 25 percent.
Net sales for the fourth quar
! ter of 1963 were $25,035,000 com
pared with $22,109,000 for the
same period of 1962, a gain of
13.2 percent.
Weicker said increased sales
were accounted for by both
woven and tufted carpet volume.
“We are completing a $3,500,-
000 plant expansion program
which substantially increases
our productive capacity, thereby
providing the facilities required
for continued growth, and this
program is running on time and
in accordance with budget,” he
said.
“A reasonable expectation for
sales for the industry in 1964 is
an increase of about 10 percent
if no unexpected jolt occurs in
the economy, and Bigelow
should equal or exceed this
average.”
