Wolverine Expansion Seen Paying Off in 1967
Wolverine World Wide Inc. projects that its expansion program will start paying off in 1967, but 1966 sales and earnings will be restrained by pigskin shortages and higher costs. President Adolph Krause outlined plans including a pigskin tannery in Muscatine and a major plant buildout to boost production and reduce costs, with 200 million pairs of shoes to be treated yearly under the bioMet spray. Net sales in 1965 were 39.36 million with 4.80 million earnings. for the first 24 weeks of 1966, sales rose to 21.19 million and earnings to 1.41 million.
