CONTROL OF SAXON

Hugh Chalmers DispOses of His
Holdings in Company to His

CAR SCORES BIG SUCCESS

deal Of big significance in motor
manufacturing circles has become known
In the announcement by Hugh Chalmers
and Harry w Ford. that Mr.. Ford has
purchased all Of Mr. Chalmers holdings
In the Saxon Motor company. BY so do
ing Ford becomes the largest individual
stakeholder and the dominant figure in
the successful Saxon company, which he
has served as president and general man
ager from its organization.
The big stock purchase Involving a
cash transaction of S5Oo.Ooo) establishes
the Saxon company as an independent
institution which. in the space of eight
zen months, since II began shipping cars.
has risen to the position Of seventh
among all Detroit motor companies, and
tenth among the motor companies Of the
entire world in the number of cars built
and sold annually.
The Saxon Motor company was incor-
porated November l. 1918. by Hugh Chel-
mers and eight members of his Chalmers
Motor company organization. It being Mr..
Chalmers idea that his company would
prove a successful bushes venture and
that the Saxon holdings of his younger
associates would prove valuable and
profitable TO them. The original organ

Ford. were Lee Counselman. Percy owen.

Saxon company. and Mr.. Counselmsn
and Mr.. Durham are directors, but not
actively engaged in the management of
the business
Il have every confidence in the sue
cess of the Saxon company" said Mr..
Chalmers. MY only reason for selling
my interest was to be perfectly free to
give my entire time to the Chalmers
company. Upon deciding to sell my Saxon
stock, was delighted, in view Of my
long association with Harry Ford and
my friendship for him, to give him an
option to buy It. Harry Ford, be-
lieve, is already recognized by those who
know him as one of the best all-around
executives in the automobile industry.
For rapidly Of operation, skillful. and
efficient use of all the materials given
him to work with. think few have ex-
ceeded In this line of work the record
made by Ford. His showing with the
Saxon company speaks for itself, and
I am proud to have a graduate OF the
Chalmers organization score such a
success.
The various officials of the Chalmers
company. who with Mr.. Chalmers or
ganized the Saxon company. were unani-
nous In selecting Mr.. Ford as president
of the new company at the time of its
organization, and have Loyalty supported
him in his work throughout.
At first the company specialized on
the Saxon roadster, two-passnnger car
selling at 1886. then the lowest-priced
automobile made. Since that time, the
manufacture of the roadster has been
continued, but the line has been widened
by the addition of the $S5 Saxon six
cylinder touring car. This latter car was
brought out at the New York show last
January and created as big a sensation
as the Saxon roadster did the previous

Only in France is it possible for a

One variety of the horrors of war es

German prisoners are employed on the
harbor works and quarries here at 4

observed this fact and became cove
