W. J. KENNEDYIS
/. PLANT MANAGER
Succeeds F. ]. TOwar AS Pres.
ident and General Manager
of Huge Creamery

William ]. Kennedy has been pro-
NOTED from secretary and treasurer
OF the Towars Wayne County cream
cry TO president and general man,
gger. succeeding Frank j. Towar,
who has decided to retire from ac-
tive business life. Mr.. Towar has
been with the creamery company for
the last 40 years. and has been
largely instrumental in the upbuild-
Ing OF the concern.
In announcing that no changes
would be made in the personnel Of
the organization, President Kennedy
said Under the direction OF Mr.
Towar. the Wayne County creamery
has grown from one-wagon busi-
ness, with the delivery OF few gal
ions OF milk daily. to one OF the
largest companies OF It's kind In the
middle west, with daily delivery Of
$4,000 bottles of milk and cream.
going into more than $4,000 homes
In all sections OF Detroit.
'Mr. Towar has always insisted
upon most efficient and sanitary
methods OF milk production and de-
livery, featuring baby first. and as
surfing himself that the milk and
cream sold by the company were alb
solutely pure and wholesome. The
policies which have governed the
business in the past will be contin-
ued In the future"
The new president and general
manager entered Mr.. Towar's EN-
ploy 90 years ago as assistant book
keeper. Ten years ago he was elect
ed secretary and treasurer. and con
tinued In that capacity up TO the
time OF his promotion.
we have made wonderful prog
ress in the past. and we hope TO be
even more progressive in the fu-
turc.' said Mr. Kennedy. The most
modern methods for handling dairy
products have always been found at
Towar's creamery, and anything that
will make our plant or delivery ser
vice more efficient and sanitary will
be welcomed by our company. Bet
ter milk for baby first will con
linue 10 be our watchword. and
every member Of our organization is
eXerting his efforts 10 live up to that
slogan. While we all regret that
Mr.. Towar has decided 10 retire. We
ere glad. indeed that we have had
the benefit of his counsel and advice
FOR so many years"

New Detroit Financial Institu-
ton Welcomes Many
Visitors Monday

Doors OF the Guaranty Trust Co.

Frank II. Bessenger, president, and
William V. Butler. manager, In
charge.
Quarters OF the trust company are
In the Butler block, the interior OF
which recently was remodeled for
the new financial institution. once
rooms of the officials are In the
front part OF the building, and the
rear Is taken up with large di.
rectors' rooms.
Callers were many during the
hours OF the morning. Many came
TO pay respects and extend congrat.
ulations TO the officials OF the com.
pany,
Everything has gone along very
well this morning." said Mr.. Bees
senger. "The opening OF the trust
company is vastly different from a
savings bank. Much OF our initial
business was arranged before the
opening this morning. so that the
greater number OF callers have been
persons who came to extend their
congratulations"
Distributed about the company's
room were large floral bouquets,
evidences OF the good wishes of De
troit hank fficials toward the late al
addition TO Griswold 81.

CHEVROLET RISE
is 100 POINTS
IN SIX WEEKS

The Hotpoint advance in the price
OF Chevrolet stock during the last
few weeks is probably the most sen
sational rise scored by any motor
stock for a similar period. with the
possible exception Of General Mo-
tors. On March I. Chevrolet sold
at 1870. May | AT 200, and May IL at
230. Its rise Is a commentary upon
the immense volume OF business
now moving with the manufacturers
OF low.priced cars.
Chevrolet. which a year ago was
comparatively unheard OF, produc-
ing less than 80 cars day. Is now
producing goo daily and will output
for the month 5000. In accordance
with the schedule mapped out early
in the year. daily production will be
notched up to 2S5 next month. 20
4l0 In July, eliminating with 400 In
August The current quarter Is far
and away Chevrolet's biggest. over
30 per cent OF the planned $4,000
piphu''iNh bfilh hfN 'h's
II Is expanding les various plants
as rapidly as feasible and new con
struciion recently launched Mt Flint
will provide that unit with capac-
lily nearly as large as all combined
at present.
Chevrolet Is today earning over
s725,00O month Earnings will in
crease from now out in greater ra.
ito than production increase owing
TO the resultant cut in overhead
charges. For the full year Chevro-
let should earn 100000. or $40 a
share On the 1917 planned produc.
ticn Of 100000 cars. net profits
should total S12.0OO,OOO, or 500 a
share

GASOLINE STEAMER
LOST THROUGH FIRE

Philadelphia, Aug. 22.-Nine mem
bers of the crew Of the Norwegian
steamer Cossack, formerly the British
steamer Peeresse, New Orleans and
Norfolk for Grange Mouth, with a car
go of gasoline in drums, were lost in
mid-o when the steamer, afre, was
abandoned on August IL.
The surviving thirteen members of
the Cossack crew were brought here to-
day by the British steamer Tamaqua
from Glasgow, which rescued the men
from small boat after they had been
tossed about for two days in heavy
weather.
According to the survivors, some of
the gasoline drums burst when tossed
about by the rolling of the steamer in
the heavy sea, the gasoline reaching
the fire-room. There was an explosion
and the interior of the ship became a
mass of flames. All hands escaped the
flames and abandoned the ship in two
life boats. One boat containing nine
men was upset and all were lost.
The cargo Of the Cossack was valued
at $1,1OO,OOO.
