Not many U. S. citizens can guess correctly what are today the three chief products of the House of Krupp. They are cash registers, motor trucks & omnibuses, locomotives.
It was dividend time last week but no dividends were declared, though in hand was 11,000,000 marks net profit for the year, a profit considered phenomenal in view of the current depression in German industry.
As usual the Krupp profits were plowed back into the business, members of the House being allowed enough to go on living and working in the style to which a Krupp is accustomed.
The flourishing state of the business was aptly described by a Berlin correspondent. The potential dividends, he said, were greater this year than last. A showing of which the Family may well be proud.
