CHALMERS
WORKERS
FORM CLUBS

Chalmers Motor company recently,
Hugh Chalmers advocated the found
ing of two clubs for the young men
and women employees of the COM
pany.
The clubs, To be known as the
Young Mems Chalmers club and the
Young Women's Chalmers club. will
combine fraternal and educational
features and will further serve TO
develop friendly cooperation be-
tween the various departments.
President Chalmers suggestions
for the twin clubs came as the eli
max of an informal talk at the open
ing of the new auditorium in the big
Jeferson-ave. plant.
Prepare for the Job ahead OF you,
because it is our idea TO make pro-
motions wherever possible from our
own ranks" said Mr.. Chalmers.
And by all means, think II is far
more necessary To run this plant by
brain-power than by horsepower.
Anyone can purchase electric current
from the Edison company, but il a
central market for brains exists. we
have yet TO and it.
Our trouble, nowadays, is not in
securing skilled labor, but in getting
the men TO fill the $4,000 $4,000 and
$4,000 jobs"

living in any department OF our

Rumor of Big Increase
In Capital Persists
In GriswOld-St.

A considerable increase In the
capital stock OF the Hupp Motor Car
Co. Is expected to be made shortly.
There has been considerable talk OF
such an increase for some weeks
past, Il being understood that a total
capitalization OF s6.500,000 was in
tended: of which 81 100000 was to
be In preferred stock and the re-
mainder I'm common.
Friday morning. Detroit was flood
ed with night letters from a Chicago
brokerage house. offering $500. 900
worth Of preferred stock in a De-
troit automobile manufacturing COM
pany. The stock was offered at par.
with a redemption feature and a
common stock bonus. This Is taken
by those interested In local stocks
TO be the Hupp issue.
What bonus In common stock Is
offered is not known. A new COR
poration TO take the place OF the
present one II understood TO be the
plan. and II is supposed that the
present stock will be bought with
the new stock at such figure as TO
give the present holders a substan-
'ial bonus.
President J. Walter Drake. OF the
company, would not be seea. Sat

nothing In the shape Of new stock
issue had been done as yet. and
there vas no announcement to make
as TO whether anything OF the kind
