"I am very happy." COURIER-PUST, comaen, M. Friday, August 27, 1954 the present management. Plans Change I matter of principle with me that 1 make a heavy investment in the stock of any company that I go into. "Our continuing investment in Montgomery Ward stock candidly, has been with the intention to strengthen our position in company with a view to superseding "We intend to do all we legally and properly carder change the management to achieve and to restore Montgomery Ward progressive and essential reforms to its position as the great American institution it deserves to be.
"Montgomery Ward is a fine old name in American history. Now, the future earnings of Montgomery Ward, its future dividends to 68,000 shareholders and, perhaps, even the ultimate security of their investment, depend on a drastic change in basic management 'and merchandising policies. "This is of paramount importance, especially to some 50,000 small shareholders. These small stockholders never before have had the opportunity to make their collective strength felt in the affairs of the company, to Decline in Sales "Such essential changes in policy are impossible under the management, which has present, adopted deliberate do policy. For the past four consecuyears Montgomery Ward's sales have shown a steady decline as against a steady increase by its largest competitor.
Here are the figures for comparison purposes, in each case for the fiscal year ended January 31: COMPARATIVE NET SALES Montgomery Principal Ward Competitor Differential 1934 1934 $187.633,000 $273,249,000 $85,616,000 1936 1936 1936 293.042,000 392.098,000 99,056,000 1937 1937 1937 361,297,000 494,968.000 133,671,000 1940 1940 1940 474,882,000 617,414,000 142,532,000 1951 1951 1951 1,170,462,000 2,556.371,000 1,385,909,000 1952 1952 1952 1,106,157,000 2,657,408,000 1,551,251,000 1953 1953 1953 1,084,586,000 2,932,338,000 1,847,752,000 1954 1954 999,123,000 2,981,925,000 000 1,982,802,000 "This demonstrates how the relative position of Montgomery Ward to its principal competitor has been steadily slipping. The competitor has been outdistancing Montgomery Ward by an ever widening margin, year after year. "At the present rate, Montgomery Ward's sales have dropped under one billion a year in volume while its chief competitor's will have soared over three billion. "In financial circles, there is A group of securities known as "The Favorite These are the 50 in which 150 leading securities, companies have made their largest investments. Six years ago Montgomery Ward was in third position on this elite list.
Two years ago it had fallen to 36th position. Last year it dropped off the list altogether. If the stockholders place an aggressive, constructive, common-sense management in authority, Montgomery Ward will be restored to prestige it deserves and to the 'Favor lite Fifty' list. Money Hoarded "This will not be accomplished under present management a management which, in this period of our country's greatest growth and expansion, and of its greatest boom in mercantile sales in our history, has hoarded money because, as it told its stockholders, 'The ax was about to But when, in our whole history, has any other company 'axed' its own property by hoarding approximatety $300.000,000 producing little return for the benefit of stockholders? This money must work to assure a maximum return to its owners. "The Montgomery Ward management has blindly and obstinately hitched the company's future to a depression.
This has been called eccentric, but actually it has been a disastrous disservice to the stockholders of the company. Confidence in Future "It all business adopted the shortsighted policies of the present management of Montgomery Ward, depression would be inevitable. This nation- its strength, its security, its growth- depends on initiative and faith in its future. Business must be geared to that future prosperity. Montgomery Ward, as it stands today, is a glaring and notorious example of private enterprise in reverse gear.
"My own policies and philosophies are diametrically opposed to those of the present management of this historic company. I believe in the future of America. I have faith in the American people, I have faith in the soundness of the American economy which has given me the present and other great opportunities. "As trustee of investors' capital, the management's prime responsibility is to the stockholders. It has obligations also, of course, to the company's employes and to its customers.
Priority for Dividends "It is my firm conviction that dividends to stockholders deserve top priority in claims on net earnings after there has been a prudent lay-aside for operations, reserves and development, "Capital obviously has to work to make money for the investors who own it. This is plain common sense. "Hard working capital used by efficient management its business means more profits in the form of better dividends. "Management must know its business and have the respect of the people who work for it. An portant part of that business is to encourage able young men, and more experienced older men, to want to stay with the company and to want the company to make money.
"The best way to accomplish this is to encourage men and women at all levels, in the organization itself, to develop and a remain. They must feel that good work will be rewarded. Lists Program "For the beneft of Montgomery Ward stockholders, for greater stability in the management of the company, for a reasonable appreciation in the value of the stock, we propose to: Put idle capital to work to 1 develop and improve the misiness! for the stockholders. Give Montgomery Ward the caliber and number of competent executives it needs. Insist that Montgomery Ward management about face, recapture its lost trade, and get back into step with the U.
S. march toward greater prosperity. Restore Montgomery Ward to its rightful competitive position and increase its earnings by rejuvenated merchandising and promotion progress. "5. Eliminate the self interests of stock option serving promulgated by executives, and which give them an advantage over stockholders, Invites Stockholders "I invite all Montgomery Ward stockholders express their views on my program by writing to me care of the Wolfson-Montgomery Ward Stockholders Committee, P.
O. Box 131, Grand Central Station, New York. "As part of my program I intend to tour around the United States and visit personally with Montgomery Ward stockholders at scheduled meetings where they can be arranged.

jawed, dark haired Southerner, named Louis E. Wolfson, chairman of the New York Shipbuilding who parlayed a $5000 1 life insurance Joan into a profit of more than $2,000,000 in the pipe business before he was 30. He is seeking to gain control of Montgomery Ward and Co. Wolfson, son of an immigrant junk dealer, a scholarship student and football the Georgia when he dropped out in 1932 to help with the family junk business, which wasn't doing so well. With the life insurance loan and another $5000 borrowed from an Atlanta lawyer, he, his father and an elder brother turned the junkyard into a pipe and supply business, naming it the Florida Pipe and Supply Co.
The company had sales of $100,000 the first year and sales of $8,000,000 a year when he sold it in 1944 for a profit of $2,500,000. Credits Grid Injury Wolfson says a game in the Yale Bowl really started him on his way. He was playing end on the Georgia team and blocked a Yale tackle with such force he dislocated his shoulder. That ended his playing days. With his of becoming an All-American player over, he went home to Jacksonville to become a businessman.
Even before selling the pipe and supply firm, Wolfson and his associates had bought. the Tampa Shipbuilding $1,000,000. They sold it for a profit of 000 two years later. Among the multi-million dollar firms of which he has acquired control since are Merri dredging Scott, New and salvage concern; the New York Shipbuilding of Camden; the Capital Transit Washington; and the Southern Pipe and Supply Co. of Orlando, Fla.
He is also a partner in a mjor Florida realty holding company and a chain of 21 Florida and Georgia motion-picture houses. Bought N. Y. Ship He bought New York Ship in January, 1953, from the Aveo Manfacturing Co. at $16.50 a share.
When it appeared that the local firm might not have enough shipbuilding contracts, to keep it going, he stockholders he would manufacture clothing or pots and pans there, if necessary, in order to make a profit and keep the men working. To bolster the firm's business and diversify its operations, he announced last June that New York Ship equired control of Devoe Raynolds, a 200-year-old paint manufacturing concern with nine major plants scattered throughout the country. As president or board chairman of these and nearly a dozen other enterprises of varying size, at 42 a Wolfson is one of the youngest of the nation's top financiers and industrialists. He is also the darling of company stockholders, who appreciate and profit by his theory that companies make profits in order to declare dividends, and that company officers have no I right to vote themselves huge salaries unless they are making money, Pays High Price Wolfson, who talks in a deep voice with just a lingering trace of Southern accent, admits he has paid a high price for success. He has little time left after business to devote to his wife and four children, and sees his homes in Miami and Jacksonville seldom during the year, spending two weeks out of three in New York.
In all seriousness, he tells friends and those who inquire as to his secret "I'm not a financier. I'm just a country boy who works harder than some of the Huge Phila. Hotel To Start in Fall Construction will be started early in the fall by the Hotel Corp. of its $14,000,000, im-22-story hotel in Philadelphia's redeveloping Penn Center, it was announced today by Ernest Henderson, Sheraton president. The new hotel will have 900 rooms and will be completely airconditioned, including the ballroom, Henderson said would accommodate 1300.
Since Philadelphia have an agreement with the Chamber of Commerce to make 80 percent of their rooms available for convention guests in the city, the building of the new Sheraton would give Philadelphia a total of 5300 -hotel rooms for conventions. This will be used as an argument the city's attempt to win the cratic and Republican national' conventions in 1956. OBITUARIES Dr. A. J.

There are nine members of thine board, and under Illinois law company has availed itself of a permissive arrangement whereby terms may be spaced. Thus only three vacancies will occur next April, but one will be the post now held by Avery. A This is a legal point to which, Wolfson said, his counsel is giving study.
"We are going to stick to this thing until we actually have control Montgomery Ward," he said. "If it is necessary for a proxy fight, we will conduct one in dignified manner. We haven't given up the idea that the charter can be changed, and we know it will be difficult to unseat ent management, but win. Asked whether chance of a compromise Avery interests, Wolfson "They would have to thinking 100 percent." 'Axing' Is Charged the preswe intend to there is any, with the replied, change their In this vein he charged the present management with having "axed" the properties of the company, following its statement to stockholders that its conservative policy was motivated by a belief axe was about to fall on the economy. This referred to Avery's policy of conserving cash and not expanding at a period when Sears Roebuck Co, borrowed and expanded, and boosted its sales.
Montgomery Ward now holds approximately $300,000.000 in cash, and Government securities. Instead of retaining idle money in the treasury, the young Florida industrialist offered a program calling for an about-face. He also struck at options granted executives of the company, giving them the privilege of buying stock at prices below that available to other investors. Wolfson's Career When Avery took charge of Montgomery Ward affairs in 1931, Wolfson was playing end University of Georgia football team, which institution he attended on a scholarship. In the last few years he has obtained control of two Florida shipbuilding firms; has become chairman of Merritt-Chapman Scott, construction and marine salvage concern; is chairman Capital Transit the transit company in Washington, D.
chairman of New York Shipbuilding and has merged into his empire several companies including Newport Steel, Nesco and Devoe Reynolds, the latter a paint concern that dates back to Revolutionary War days.

"We believe hold the largest block of shares we, the company, We have been looking into and analyzing the affairs of Montgomery Ward and its management for some time in relation to stock earnings. This is the kind of special situation in which, we feel we can help the company improve its management and increase earnings and equity value. We have never gone into such a special situation without investing heavily.
