IN A letter to stockholders of the Bendix Aviation Corporation, Vincent Bendix, president, said that earnings of the company for the first three-quarters of the year would be better than 80 cents a share.

"Even though business conditions next year be no better than this year, our company should have a substantial increase in its earnings."

Two types of Economizer Systems, the needle valve type and the piston type, contribute to the efficiency of Strombergs.
