They were representatives from the
Two banks of the city. The building
was finally sold to Representatives Of

where the axles, springs and all the
works were being performed. From
here they went to where cars are
lifted up and tested, and from there
into the factory where trucks are
made and wheels built. The second
floor, where the cars were being put
together was next visited.
Mr.. Wilsdorf called for one of
the fine touring cars, crowded the
gentlemen into it and struck out
about three blocks to where the wood
work is carried on. Here the band
saws, rip saws, mortising machines,
planners, molding machines and every
form of wood work, were humming.
taking the wood from the rough lum-
Der and bringing it out in complete
form. From there the party was
carried into the sheet steel depart
ment where the beds of the cars were
being covered with fine sheet steel.
From this he carried them to the
paint shops and here they were shown
fully a thousand beds for motor cars
of every description. From this
he carried the crowd into the up
holstering department, and from the
upholstering department to the pack
ing and shipping rooms, and from the
packing and shipping rooms to the
platform, where the motor cars are
loaded into box cars and shipped
away.
After all had been finished Mr..
Wilsdorf had the gentlemen re-enter
the touring car and carried them back
to the Office to re-eXamine the trucks
for freight hauling. One of the gen.
tlemen left an order for a fine tour
ing car and another left orders for
two freight trucks. These touring
cars range in price from $1,000 to
$500 each. The run-abouts, or road
sters range in price from 5000 to
81 200. The freight trucks range in
price from $1,000 to $4,000 When
the company of gentlemen had fully
satisfied themselves that they had
been richly paid for their visit Mr..
Wilsdorf was not satisfied, but said
his customers must be carried back
to their homes, hence orders were
issued for two fancy touring cars and
the gentlemen were loaded into
them, chauffeurs were called and a
dash made for their homes.
In conversation with the manager,
the representative asked him if it
was his custom to treat Negro visitors
with these accommodations. He
gave the Globe reporter quite a
laugh, shrugged his shoulders and
said, as salesman he had noticed

he assured the reporter that so far
as the factory and its management
were concerned, all men looked alike
that they first show their cars
and the manufacturing works to the
visitors and talk sales afterwards.
On looking around through the fac
tory, the reporter was surprised to
see the number of Negroes who are
given employment, and on further
examination found that these Negroes
are receiving salaries commensurate
with their skill. 1t is evident that
it will not be long before Negroes
will not only be handling motor cars
as chauffeurs, but will be fully capa-
bic of doing repair work and even
manufacturing work on these cars, as

In any great degree, to solution OF the
