Storage Room in
New Pierce Cars

In the series four Pierce-Arrow models
the discriminating observer will note the
care with which the comfort and con-
veniences of the user has been considered
The provision of ample storage room is
a typical instance
In the back of each front seat there is a
recess or compartment, the door of which
is almost unnoticeable
As the compartments are provided with
doors that lock, articles of value may be
safely left in them when leaving the car.
The left front door of each touring car
also has a compartment with a door on
the inside which locks This compart-
ment is arranged to receive the tools
which were formerly kept in the com
partment in the dash.

DODGE BROTHERS
; AMONG FIRST SIX
Detroit Concern Climbs to This
Prominent Position in Auto World
in But One Years Time.
PLANT COVERS sixty ACRES

New buildings under construction at
the plant Of Dodge Brothers. Detroit, will
bring the total amount OF floor space 20
approximately sixty and one-half acrea
This will make the establishment one OF
the largest motor car plants I'm the world.
The buildings are OF steel. concrete
and brick, and constructed along latest
engineering plans with ample light and
ventilation.
Few people have realized the i'm
mensity of the institution of Dodge
Brothers. Although the first Dodge
Brothers car was turned out only last
december, and actual deliveries to
owners started in January, the concern
now ranks among the first six in auto
mobile production.
More than S35.OOOOO0 worth Of cars have
already ben delivered and large pro-
duction is scheduled for next year.
Some idea of the magnitude OF the
business can be gained from the follow
ing figures:
An average Of 100 car loads of ma
terlal and supplies are received daily
More than 400 tons Of coal are required
in generating the steam used in the plant
and LEGO gallons of fuel oil are used IN
ments. About 225 900 pounds of steel are
fabricated into parts each day and the
foundries handle thirty-five tons of pig
iron, 10000 pounds of brass and 1000
pounds Of aluminium.
A striking feature OF this immense
enterprise is that the business is owned
entirely by John F. and Horace f. Dodge
This is very impressive when It Is known
that only fourteen years ago Dodge
Brothers opened their first machine shop
in Detroit in which they employed eleven
men and both worked at machine and
bench themselves.
They early established a reputation for
quality work, in the making of auto
mobile parts and built up a wonderful
business in this line. But in 1914 they
brought all their contracts for parts to
termination and turned their great
facilities to the making of Dodge Broth
crS motor cars.

Reading Summer Hotel Advertisements Diverting
 Occupation to the Great Army of ay-At-Homes

be we'll over, they like to see other peo- pie dance and enjoy being an onlooker more than listening to the lady who slugs HThe Holy City" every evening in the hotel parlor,
 It may be owing to the value now set upon rest cures" and things like that, that one hotel lad" read something to the effect that 'ft was designed espe- cially for children"
 The "ad' said that the childrens parents might accompany them if they like but that they could be sent alone, with the assurance that they'd be well taken care of.
 These hotels will no doubt rival sum mer camps. if they prove as attractive and reliable as the "ad'' states, and the person who started such proposition will undoubtedly have a much larger bank account at the end of the summer than when she commenced To the man who hates dress parade" and fuss and feathers, an artfully worded "ad'' said this: Style is dead and comfort is king!" Such a place will surely lure a lot of tired husbands" and they will probably promise their wives a diamond tiara or a new limousine if she'll let him off from fashionable seaside resort and let him go and enjoy such a place for a fortnight. Another 'ad" coupled with the advantages of invigorating climate and beautiful scenery, the magic words hair mattresses" Anybody who has spent summer in one of those hotels where they slept Cor tried to sleep) on mattresses that feel like they are made of corncobs, cobblestones, and dead meEs bones will undoubtedly appreciate these suitable words.
 Of course, at all these widely adver- tised hotels, mention is made of the ex- cellent table and service, but only one came out so boldly as to say:
 And such good things to eat!''
 The statement certainly carries with it tremendous attraction for there are just scores and scores of us who would be quite ready and willing to forego the rest and retirement the mountain scenery and the dancing. the ocean breezes and the motoring, if we were only assured that we'd have plenty of good things to eat"

Great Field of Copper
 Discovered by Explorer

New York, August 1A-The discovery by the Canadian Arctic expedition by Vilhjalmar Stefansson of a great field of native copper in the vicinity of Copper Mine river in the neighborhood of Prince Albert Island, will prove of great value to the business world, says Dr. Chester A. Reeds of the American Museum of National History, Dr. Reeds believes also that it will afford scientists an opportuni- ty for displaying their ingenuity in find- ing an outlet from a region that is still unopened in a commercial sense.
 The work of the party which arrived in Nome, Alaska on Tuesday, is expected to prove valuable in determining the di- rection, of winds and the movement of tides in the Polar region Dr. Reeds said this work might go long way to prove or disprove the theory that an unknown continent exists in the great unexplored region north of Alaska and west and northwest of Greenland

Brown led the Hill-Billys to victory or defeat.
