NEW APPARATUS
IN HOWARD PARK
Equipment is Presented to City
by J. NJ. Studebaker, Sr.
Ready by Sunday.

Through the kindness and gener-
oSity of j. NJ. Studebaker, the boys
and girls of Howard park are TO have
new play apparatus. Mr.. StudeDaker
attended a homecoming at Ashland,
o., several weeks ago. and while there
witnessed a demonstration of play
ground swings and slides made by the
Ashland Mfg. CO. of that city. Mr..
Studebaker wanted 20 patTOnize an
industry of his old home city, and de-
cided that one of the latest types of
playground apparatus would be just
the thing for Howard park. So he
ordered that one be sent to South
Bend. and Roy Willous. general SUI
perintendent of the Ashland Mfg. Co,
is at present installing the device in
the south section Of the park
Here is what it comprises: one
sliding pole, a horizontal bar three
sets of trapeze, two sets of flying
rings, a letter ladder. an all metal
slide two climbing pOlts. a flexible
ladder, two swings, and a teeter board.
The metal slide is made of one
piece, manufactured from sheet alu-
minum. The sides are formed round
a "a inch pipe, that there is no dan
ger TO the child sliding down in
catching his fingers. The teeter lad
der is a new arrangement, which re-
wolves about a horizontal bar.
The entire apparatus takes in a
space Of only SO square feet. and is
50 arranged that one feature does not
interfere in the least with another.
It is built with a concrete foundation,
giving it perfect rigidity. The object
of concentrating so many devices
within such a small space is TO offer
a wide variety TO the boy or girl.
without the necessity of him or her
iOurpovipp all over the mark To- try
all the features
The new apparatus viii be ready
for use by Sunday. after the concrete
is set II was brought here by Mr..
Studebaker, and erected at a cost of
$500.
