averaged out at 5x cents george h craig chairman of the public relations committee of the canadian manufacturers associa tion reports this figure was a six tenths of a cent less than the profit figure for 1958 mr craigs report was based on the tenth annual national survey of the breakdown of industrys sal es dollar by the association this survey broke down the profit even further by showing that 3 cents of 105ts dohar profit were paid out in dividends while 28 cents- were retained in the business the survey was based on replies from 1069 member companies which had net sales of nearly nine billion dollars this survey re potted mr craig was the tenth in a row by the gma like all prev- ious studies it was designed as an educations feature because the general public has invariably sug gested in the coarse of opinion surveys that manufacturing profits were fare in excess of whet they actually were the association sur veys have proved that average pro fits were generally not much
