LARGEST TENT EVER BUILT
TO HOUSE AUTO INDUSTRY.

The tremendous growth of the auto.
mobile industry, even to those constantly
In touch with the manufacture of cars,
Is a marvel.
With more than 250 makers already in
the field, 1t would seem that the growth
in the demand for any particular make
would be comparatively small. Yet each
year the leading builders find extensions
necessary. Buildings are erected with
a view to caring for expected normal
increases and sometimes to provide for
these increases over several years. But
Notwithstanding these precautions the
Mitchell-Lewls Motor Company has been
forced to a most unusual proceeding in
order to provide space for the ina as
sembling of the ears made necessary by
the tremendous influx of orders from
both domestic and foreign agencies.
This extension is In the form of one
of the largest tents ever built and which
has been erected on their property. This
huge canvas adds to their already enor-
nous floor space more than 5000 square
feet. The present capacity Of the plant
is 1000 cars per month. and indications
would seem to show the necessity for
Immediate extensions to provide for
double that number.

said he was sorry his bullet had not

persons entered the hall.
In addition 10 the. two speakers,
many Republican candidates for

but after his question had been ans
