Franklin Plant -.
Is to Be Enlarged

H. H. Franklin, president of the
Franklin Automobile company, SYRIA
cuse, N. Y, has just made public
plans for the immediate enlargement
of the companys plant to an extent
involving the investment of 81 10000
Three extra floors, to cost $500,000,
with machinery installed, are to be
added to a three-story reinforced con-
crete building at present under con-
struction, the cost Of which, fully
equipped, also amounts to $500,000
This, the fifth factory addition
within year, will, when completed,
add six acres of floor space to Frank
lin manufacturing facilities, and will
bring the total area to sixteen acres.
During the lol5-l9l6 season the
Franklin factory has shown an expan-
sion of $50 per cent, or an increase
from six and one-half acres to sixteen
acres of floor space, the largest build
ing development in the company's
history.
July |, 1915, the capacity of the
Franklin plant was 1000 cars annu-
ally. With three Of the five new ad-
ditions now in use, the company is
producing at the rate Of 10000 cars a
year. The factory output will reach
$4,000 cars year when all the new
facilities are in operation.
When the first three floors OF the
new building are ready for manufac-
turing purposes the working force
will be increased u per cent, and
when the entire building is completed
the present number of workmen will
be increased by 40 per cent.
