Jackson, Mich, Is Ambitious
to Be Automobile Center

JACKSON. Mich, July 23.-Another
busy spot which | found on my circuit
of the automobile factories was this
little city with it's forty-odd thousand
residents, and which aspires to become
an automobile center. AS 1t is it now
boasts of being the home of several
cars which have national-wide reputa-
ton. Ben min Briscoe, one of the
pioneer automobile manufacturers Of
this country, is making his headquar-
ters here and is at the head of two
large concerns manufacturing motor
cars. The companies are the Briscoe
Motor Company and the Argo Motor
Company.
Last year the Briscoe company built
and sold 1000 cars This year the pro-
duction will be just double that mum
Der, which will include both the four
and eight cylinder Briscoe cars At
the present time the company is fin
fishing up a foreign contract and is
producing these cars at the rate of
forty to fifty a day. After considering
several favorable propositions to To-
cate in other cities and towns in the
automobile belt, this company has APP
proved plans by which it will build ex-
tensive automobile factories in the
eastern part of Jackson, at the same
time esta blishing an Industrial COM
munity.

AS this state is one of the states with
a large registration. it is looked upon
as representative so far as automobiie
laws are concerned. II the new law
works out satisfactorily, it is predicted
that many other states will follow suit.
In the long run, while the new tax
seems large, it is said that it Will prove
less than the automobilist now pays, as
by it's provisions he is exempted from
any other city, county or state tax on
the vehicle. Now a personal property
tax is levied in addition to the 10 reg
istration fee The money will be USED
for developing the roads of the state.
Engineers believe that should the
law be widely adopted it wouid nave
a great influence in the promotion OF
lighter cars and smaller-bore motors.

announcement was followed by an
other to the effect that the remainder
of the Mason company stock had been
acquired by the Chevrolet company,
and that the latter had just completed
realty deals giving it twenty addition
al acres of land on three sides of the
present factory site.
The new motor factory will be COM

Turning Out New Models.
The Buick Motor Company is steadily
turning out its new models. but not as
fast as officials of the company desire
they would in order to keep up to the
demand. The output for last, year was
sold out three months earlier thar
usual, with the result that dealers
from all parts of the country are now
making their visit to the factory here
much earlier than has been customary
in the past. Since last year number
of additions have been made to the
plant Factory officials promise pro-
duction in the near future of about 4oC
cars a day. Up to the present time
the factory has not been able to pro-
duce the new models fast enough. In
addition to the completion of new
structures thousands of dollars worth
of new machinery has been installed
to take care of this years production
Supplies have been bought in tremen-
dous quantities and everything is being
made ready for the record breaking
output. The company this year is. con
filming it's attention strictly to six-cylin
der cars. averaging about twenty siS
or twenty-eight a day. Included in the
shipments l observed a large number
of trucks of every imaginable type
being boxed up for shipment to France
and Russia. 1t was truly one of the
busiest plants l visited during my triI

For years Mr.. Briscoe has been an
apostle of cooperation, and it is his
intention to found trade school in
Jackson where young men will be

and where lectures on general educa-

twenty five acres of ground, and addi-

Auto Plants Extremely Busy
Meeting Increased Orders

CLEVELAND, Ohio. July 24.-Proba-
bly, one of the busiest plants outside of
Detroit was the plant of the Chandler
Motor Car Company, which is being
pushed to such an extent that it has
been necessary to erect large circus
| tents to take care of the rush orders.
The plant has been expanding from
| time to time. and even today there are
not enough buildings to house the va
rious departments. The company is
now twenty days behind in deliveries,
and in an effort to keep pace with the
sales production officials of the big
Cleveland plant have performed almost
superhuman tasks in the way of ac-
celebrating shipments That results have
been obtained is shown by the fact
that one months shipments recently
showed an increase of 493 per cent
over the same month last year. More
than 10000 cars will be built and
shipped this year. The plant recently
shipped more cars in six weeks than
during the entire first year of business.
Ground was broken by this company
for its plant here two years ago and
it was never in more prosperous con-
dition than at the present time. Cars
are being produced at the rate of be
tween sixty and seventy day. A visit

seven and eight thousand men hard at
work in every department. Since last
year new additions have been made
and more are contemplated. Whenever
you see manufacturer with large
tents erected adjacent to a company's
plant it can be taken as an indication
that business is increasing at such
pace that this method of housing de-
partments is necessary during a busy
season, at which time it is impossible
to construct buildings fast enough to
take care of the production end.

parry, but found the plant shut down
and the flags at half mast in respect
to Harold 3. Anderson, chief engineer
of the company, who had been killed
the day previous in a street car acct
dent in Cleveland. Mr.. Anderson had
been with the company since July, 1902.
He was driving a machine and met
his death in a collision with street
car. He was one of the youngest en-
gineers in the automobile industry and
his popularity was attested by the
many handsome floral tributes at his
funeral, one of which was a large
wreath in the shape of an automobile
wheel. with appropriate inscriptions,
sent by employees of the company.
