FORD HAS BIG PLANS.
Will Build Branch Houses IN Large
Centers of the Country.

Our big Ford plant is outgrowing De-
troit. So tremendous has its output
become and SO great are the demands
being made upon it for the future, that
it has been found necessary to adopt a
new policy by which in the near future
the work of assembling cars in the
parent plant will be largely aided by
the establishment of series of sub
factories, or assembling plants extend
ing all over the country. Beginning
with the coming year at least eleven of
these new plants, anyone Of which
would make a sizable automobile fac
tory in itself, will be in full operation.
Before another year is passed it is
planned to have Ford subfactory in
practically every large business center
of the country. These plants will be
only for assembling, storage and sales
purposes-and none of the parts of
Ford cars will be made in them. 1t is
merely new system to meet the con-
ditions forced upon US by world-beat-
ing demand for Model T cars-that's
all. A series of substantial buildings
will be erected, one in practically every
large distributing point from coast to
coast. The Detroit factory will con-
tinue to make Ford cars, just as it has
in the past, but instead of assembling
them all in Detroit, parts will be sent
to the new assembling plants and
thousands of cars put together there.
This will give US more room at the fac
tory and will enable us to ship practi-
cally three times as many complete
automobiles in each freight car as are
now being shipped. When one con-
siders that nearly two hundred freight
