Apperson Completes New
Addition to Factory

This Is moving day" at the Apper-
son Brothers Automobile company of
Kokomo. Indiana. The machine shop
is being moved from its old location in
plant No. / to its new home in plant
tial department of the factory, in
which every machining operation on
Apperson cars is done, is being en-
larged to double its former capacity.
The finishing of the rev machine
shop marks the completion Of Sc
ries of additions which the Apperson
Brothers Automobile company has
been making to its plant beginning in
1913. Since this expansion was started
three large additions have been built
to plant No. 2. The last one, which
now houses the new machine shop,
contains more than 10000 square feet
of manufacturing space.
Every building in the group com
prising plant No. is modern in every
construction throughout, and are built
on the plan of the latest and most
improved method of factory construc-
ton. There are windows galore
which combined with system Of sky
lights, give the building a maximum
supply of natural light
Additions to plant No. already
COhplel anu OCCupleQ contain tHe
paint shop. the finishing department
the final test department, and the
traffic department. The section of the
building which contains the traffic de-
partment runs parallel with the Penn
sylvania railroad. There Is a gigantic
shipping platform built along here
which is designed to be entirely ade-
quate to accomm odate the ever-in-
creasing demands of the sales depart
ment that cars be rushed away to all
parts of the United States and the for.
eisn countries just as quickly as they
are finished.
These extensive improvements have
been made necessary because of the
rapidly increasing demand for Ap.
person cars in all motor car markets
When the Apperson Roadaplane was
announced recently a demand was in.
stantly created which left the Apper.
son plants inadequate to supply
Something had to be done immediate.
ly to relieve this situation and tina,
something could be nothing. but the
construction of large additional man.

of large force of skilled mechanics

Smart Bodies Mark the
New Mitchell Cars

The new Mitchell closed bodies for
all four seasons are out and these new
creations show all the coming trends
as can be expected from John w.
Bate, the famous Mitchell man.
Every Mitchell body. closed or
open, indeed represents the finest at
tainable in that class of car. The lux
ury models are lavish in their finish,
design and appointm The ablest
craftman of them all have been con-
suited and employed by John w. Bate
in their construction No limit as to
cost could have entered into the build
ing Of the new smart bodies for they
look their class and nowhere will be
found more palatial town, theater or
touring cars for all seasons.
The trend certainly seems to be to-
wards fourseaSon typeS-cars for win
ter and summer--for fair days and
for storms. One Mitchell car of this
type serves for all the year around.
1t is never too cold for 1t. never too
stormy and never too warm.
The Mitchell Sedan. which Is the
Springfield type, is finished. uphols-
tered and equipped like the finest linn
CUISINE, but the seats are all inside. so
anyone can drive 1t while sitting with
the rest. The car has a dome light
the front seats divide and with the
two extra seats the car comfortably
The plate glass sides in this car
completely disappear when you want
an open touring car and this change
can be made in a moment.
The Mitchell Cabriolet is another
four-seson model. 1t is a three pas
senger coupe with an auxiliary seat
for still another passenger and chang
es readily into very smart roadster
the top drops back and the side
windows drop down into the doors.
The Mitchell limousine is the fin
est example of luxury car. All wool
whipcord upholstering with silk drop
curtains, three electric lights, tele-
phone, toilet and vanity case, flower
vases, smoking sets, Waltham clock
arm rests and auxiliary seats that face
either way, are only few of the
dainty touches that make this car
stand out from the throng.
The coupe seats four and is finish
ed and upholstered like the limousine
package compartments. disappearing
plate glass windows and dainty touch
es for theater goers are unsurpassed
and the highest priced cars cannot
offer in closed bodies more superb or
finer appointed creations.
For the present Mitchell touring car
owner there Is a wonderfully smart
and we'll fitting demountable top such
as has not been marketed heretofore
and which ably rounds out a complete
line of Mitchell closed bodies that are
already finding a ready demand.

PEERLESS TRUCKS
COMMANDEERED
Since U. S. Government Took
Entire Output Factory Has
Been Enlarged

One of the busiest spots in the au-
tomobile world is the plant of the
Peerless Motor Car Company. of
Cleveland, Ohio. The roar of machin-
cry as 1t turns out q greatly increas-
ed production of Peerless cars is ac-
companied by the hum and noise OF
hundreds of builders who are at work
on extensive additions to the already
large factory. With its pleasure car
business enjoying a remarkable
growth, the Peerless Company has
Just received another mammoth order
Tor trucks for European war service.
The order calls for 70 chassis week
the truck department will have to
turn out 70 of them each week until
well into the Spring of 1911
Since the fall of 1914, the Peerless
truck department has been pushed to
the limit on the production of war
trucks. At the end of its first series of
European orders, the United States
government Communicated the en-
ure Peerless output. Now that the
United States contract has been filled,
the company Is again busy on its for
eign business.
In spite of the tremendous war busi-
ness handled by the company. the
Peerless officials cain that the truck
departments are so efficiently organiZ-
ed that the European trade does not
interfere with the increasing output
or the Peerless Model -Eight-cylin-
der cars. The latter production has
grown SO rapidly that the concern has
found 1T necessary to add more than
O hundred thousand square feet of
floor space to the factory to be used
chiefly in the finishing of Model &c
cars. Three new buildings are now
under process of erection.
The fb roa h,i15f, yrill forY,, a nau,
factory group and are located at the
south side of the Peerless railroad
yard and within the quarter mile brick
testing track. They represent the
highest type of factory building con-
struction with special provision for
light and air for the workmen. One
building adjoining the present wood
working building will be So by 1872
feet in size and will have three floors
The frame is to be of concrete and ex-
panded metal with wall of brick
Another of the new buildings will alsu
have three floors. but 1t will be larger
in floor area. The dimensions for this
building are 60 feet by 270 feet. The
third is to be used for chassis assem-
bling. 1t is of saw-tooth construction
with a ground area of 10000 square
feet.
These fine new buildings will be de-
voted entirely to the production of the
Model 56 passenger cars and will con-
tain the following departments: Body
building. body painting. upholstery
chassis painting, final assembly and fl
nal inspection departments. It is ex-
pected that the new floor space will
be In use before the first of next year

of 1915 amounting to 10000 tons more sold for
seven million dollars less.
Production costs have been higher account
OF the increased cost of all commodities, higher
freights and smaller per Yields but the divid-
end rate has nevertheless risen to marvellous pro-
portions.
There is sugar country in the world where
profit sharing has been extended to the entire
community as it has here. The men whose money
is invested in the plantations have taken their em
ployes on the plantations into Copartncrship and
have paid them bonus amounting to consider
Iably more than nine million dollars in cold cash.
The average bonus for the twelve months has
amounted to a 529 per cent increase in wages and
it did not take President Wilson and act of
congress TO do it, The sense of justice and fair
mess which has been the guiding rule in Hawaiian
affairs since the days of the missionary was the
motive, for when announcement was
made early this year OF the terms on which this
gratuty was to be calculated the benehciarieS

MUNICIPAL BONDS

NOT SECURED BY ISSUE
Many Voters Ignored Question
Entirely Frankly Stating Their
Ignorance On the Matter

All seven Of the municipal bond issue
proposals were lost in the election of
last Tuesday, notwithstanding that a
majority of the. voters who voted on
them voted eyes"
The law requires, however. TINT 70
pass bond issue sixty per cent of all
voters voting in the election as whole
must vote in favnr Of them. On none
Of the seven proposals was this per.
centage reached.
A large percentage Of the voters at
the election ignored the bond issue en-.
tircly, many of them stating frankly
that they did not know what II was ali
about and therefore would not take the
chance of expressing an irreyocable
opinion. Many others who did vote ON
the proposals did not understand them
sufficiently TO vote in accordance with
the legal requirements and their votes
on the bond issue were rejected bv the
election officials.
Not few of the voters voted for or
against some Of the proposals and neg.
lected the others. The heaviest vote
was cast on the proposal for filtration
plant for Nuuanu Valley. This pro.
Posal got SO6l votes for to 1852 against.
Thus those in favor of the proposal
were more than double the number of
those opposed. But the total number
OF votes cast on the island was about
o4i0; Therefore, the vote for the pro,
posaI was not sixty per cent Of the to-
tol votes cast, nor was II even sixty per
cent Of the total vote on the bond pro
pOsal.
The vote on the six other proposals
was the same in that the affirmative
vote Was less than sixty per cent of
the total vote cast, and even less than
HNty per cent. of the total number of
votes east for and against the bonds.
