the company was conceived about two
years ago and il has only been WITHIN
the past year that work WAS actually
started on the design of the little car.
The first Saxon model made its appear
ance just Il year ago the coming week.
The plant is working to capacity ana
the sales end of the business has been
very gratifying to the firm. Although
many predicted that the greatest
demand would come from rural sections
for Il car of this type but the company
has found the biggest demands from the
larger metropolitan cities. Large indus
trial corporations in the large cities, are
purchasing these cars for their sales
representatives.
The King Motor Car Company is also
busily engaged these days in turning out
its orders. Artemus Ward. jr., president
of the company predicts good year for
the small car. While the middle west
has been affording an excellent field for
cars, New England has recently stepped
in and sales are reported to be good
from that section of the country.
Building New Models.
The Anderson Electric car Company
builder OF the Detroit electric. has re-
sumed operations after having closed
down for a few days during the past
week to take inventory Work has now
started on the new models. This con

Manager FairgraVes was enthusiastic
over the outlook for next season, at the
same time expressing delight at the sue
ceSSful season Just closed.
The air OF uIystery which has hovered
about the city as the result Of the an

created no end of comment. Never be-

1000 men are at work at the present
time, and when work is started in a
short time on the new cars the force will

The Regal Motor Car Company had q
prosperous year. and is now engaged in
the work of constructing cars for 1915
The total number of ears to be built by
this concern will be about 10000 as
against 6,60 in 1914. About fifty cars a
day are being turned out at the present
time and within a short time the pro-
ductlon VIII be Increased to 100 a day
The company experienced no financial
trouble during the past year whatever
and is better prepared. according to Off
Gals, to carry on the work of production
for next season. The factory covers ten
acres of floor space, and puts all of its
cars through a road test over the track

Mr.. Hump told me that the company was
now completing an entirely new plant in
the eastern section OF Detroit, and would

so arranged that cars will lie construct
ed at one end of the building and would
reach the tnal stage of completion on
arriving at the other end of the building
and be ready for shipment in the freight
car. The plant will be modern In every
respect and it is expected that twenty
five cars ID day will be turned out In
the old plant down on the banks of the
Detroit river. the capacity is limited to
about fifteen cars a day. Hoover Holton,
well known among the automobile trade

for next season was unusually bright.

Car Planned Abroad
Being Manufactured
in Two New Plants

JACKSON. Mich. August S-W1th1n the
past few months new automobile con-
Germ has launched out in the industry.
selecting this place as the base of oper-
ations for the western states. The Bris-
coe Motor Car Company. now has two
plants located in this city and Is now
running on full time. There is one other
automobile concern here, the jackson
Automobile Company. The eastern head
quarters of the Briscoe car is located
in New York and this plant will take
care of the distribution of cars through
out the west and middle west
The car that has been named the Bris-
coe has had quite an interesting history
and bids fair to create considerable more,
of a truly different nature, in the near
future. Its sponsor and namesake is
the same Briscoe who founded the Bris-
coe Manufacturing Company, who. with
David Buick built the first Buick auto
mobile; who with ]. D. Maxwell. found
ed the MaxwellBrfscoe Motor Company.
and who, with Horace De Lisser. organ
lied the Ajax-Grieb Rubber Company.
In the fall Of 1912 Mr.. Briscoe: went to
France. taking with him two American
engineers There, collaborating with
French and German engineers, ne was
able to successfully work out his ideals
unhampered by any distracting influences.
His first car was running in May OF the
next year. 1t was banged around un-
reservedly and cruelty: and. while only
few minor changes were found advisable,
Vet a second and a third car were sue
cessivelv constructed-until ultimately
practical perfection was quite evidently
reached in this type of medium sized
motor car.
Regular Production Begun.
The first American-made Briscoe cars
were turned out the first part of last
April. A regular production of the cars
was done at the two factories in this
place last May. When the automobile
manufacturers in Detroit were express
ing the hope that the new car w1uld
make its appearance some time during
the latter part of the present year the
factory here was actually turning out
several cars day. The production is
now going on at the rate of from ten to
fourteen cars a day, and il is expected
that by August 1b, at the latest, what
the company terms its standard pro-
duction," of twenty to thirty cars per
day. will be reached. 1t might be inter-
esting to note that many of the dis
tributers who came out here to ge their

states via various routes, including Troy,
