"One Of the things that impressed me
most upon my recent visit east" said H. E.
pf he L adrio A,,N,,
mobile company was the magnitude of
the manufacturing plant now being erected
by the Hudson Motor Car company at De-
troit, Mich.
while it was originally intended to in
vest $5Oo,OOO In this proposition It has now
been found that more money could be
spent to very good advantage, and the orig
inal estimates will be considerably over
reached. The buildings are of the latest
and most approved type fireproof in every
sense of the word, and the machinery to
be installed is the most expensive and
up to date that money can buy"
Guy Smith said: The H. H. Franklin
Manufacturing company believes in devel-
oping the young men OF today. That there
has been a lack of this development this
the technical class in the training division
OF the company has been established This
branch of our work is under the imme-
diate charge of a competent instructor,
who is graduate of the mechanical course
Of Purdue university. Students entering
this course have many advantages which
were not possible under the old fashioned
apprentice system, where a boy was turned

Lee Huff said: 1.-The American Sheet and
Tinplate company is authority for the
statement that the Buick Motor company s
contract on cold rolled steel is the largest
single contract on cold rolled steel and
shafting ever placed in the United States
The Buick contract specifies delivery
during 1910 Of 10000 tons of cold ROLLED
steel and the American company says thii
exceeds the next largest by 5000 tons.
This in itself should be sufficient evi
dence as to the large scale on which tn,
Buick operations are conducted at the grea
Flint plants, but other figures are equally
interesting as showing the vast quantity
OF raw material required by the Buick com
| pany.

used for tenders, hoods, drip aprons, etc.
will amount to 1850 tons for 1911 and 1900
tons of steel forgings are used per month"
w. L. Huffman said: "One of the cars
to win a perfect score in the recent 175
mile endurance run of the Savannah Qa,
Automobile club was the Hupmoblle, Th'
run was over roads OF wretched condition
| between Savannah and Jacksonville Fla.
occupying two days. The Hupmobile wa'
| in competition with cars OF much greater
weight and horsepower.
Word has been received Of a rather re
markable record made in Minnesota with
a Hupmobile. j. B. Keller drove a Hup,
mobile from Minneapolis to Breckenridge
The distance Of $50 miles was made ii
twelve hours and the gasoline consumed
was only ten gallons-an average Of
twenty-five miles per gallon over rough ant
! tumble roads"
