be one OF the largest factory buildings
ever erected, is to be 1000 feet long by
200 feet wide, two stories and basement.
The other will be 200 feet square. These
two buildings will add practically II
acres Of floor space, giving the Overland
Company total of 10 acres Of floor
space in. their Toledo plant alone. The
aggregate floor space of this and the
affiliated Overland plants operated in
other cities is just over one hundred
ncres.
October was the biggest month the
company ever experienced. The sales
represent money value of moro than
five and one-half million dollars. ThiI
growing demand has required the imme

industry has been the wonder of the
