Salvage
lfncic Sam at the end of the war
had three billion dollars wortfi of sur-
plus army nnd naval supplies on hand.
Nine- tenths of this has been sold at
41 per cent. of the ori§inul cost or at
an average of 41 cents on the dollar.
reports Maj. James L.~Frink, one of
the W’ar Department's sales managers.
Considering the depreciation of val-
ues, due to price drops, the War De-
partment has done a reasonaxly good
salvaging job. Better than expected.
