AUTO TRUCKS TO BE MADE IN
OWoSSo
Big Detroit Company Reor eanized d
Re-CapitalIzed and Will Have Big
Factory Herewith Employ
Large Force at Best of
WAGES

The business, appliances. assets and
good will Of the Reliance Motor Car
Company of Detroit has been sold by
order of the court to the Reliance Motor
Truck Co. of Owosso, the new company
having been incorporated with capital
stock of $3.50, 900, $3.50, 900 being paid in
and the balance subscribed. The officers
OF the new company are Fred o. Paige,
president; Alvin M. Bentley, vice pres
ident; w. f. Benkleman, secretary and
treasurer and the officers and Thomas
Lynn and d. NJ Christian, directors.
The success of the efforts to secure
this new concern for Owosso and the
securing of the Independent Stove Co.
business marks the beginning of anoth-
er boom for the city. 1t has been
several years since the citizens have
been called upon to do anything to aid
in increasing the manufacturing enter
prises of the city and at the first oppor
tunity they all responded with their
funds, their word of cheer and advice
that showed revival Of the old time
spirit that made Owosso city known
all over the country. A larger number
of residents of Owosso will be finan-
cially interested in the Truck Company
than in any other business In town as
everybody was given an opportunity to
become stockholders for even as small
an amount as $3.50 and many took ad-
vantage of the offer. The negotiations
were conducted by A. M. Bentley,
ID. M. Christian, J. G. Shattuck, ]. NJ.
Tesbush, w. F. Benkleman, and other
members of the Owosso Improvement
Association and it wasa very hard
struggle to complete the preliminaries
without interference from many other
companies and cities that wished to
secure this class of establishments. But
their fight was successful and they are
entitled to the thanks of the entire city.
There is no question but that the
factory is one of the best things that
could possibly be secured for any city.
1t is BUSINESS that has unlimited
possibilities and as the truck to be
made by this company is conceded and
has been proven to be the best so
far invented there is no reason why the
concern should not have one of the
largest auto plants in the country in a
reasonable length of time.
The business will be continued at
Detroit for short time while the com.
pany is erecting plant in this city.
The location will probably be in the
south eastern part of the city south of
the Grand Trunk tracks. The buildings
will have 10000 feet of floor space, 1876
men will be employed at the start with
the expectation that the number will be
doubled in year. The men will be
mechanics of the best class, employment
will be regular, and wages high.
Owosso is again to grow. Help it to
grow. Patronize home industries, let
the world know of your city, DO asst
everything, discourage nothing, talk
prosperity, write prosperity, believe its
here and all will help to make Owosso
the best city in central Michigan>
