OF land recently purchased by the
company on the western outskirts of
Detroit, Michigan. 1t was decided to
build upon this site some months
ago. but definite plans were not COM
pleted until November, when work
was Immediately begun.
h site of the new factory covers
nearly forty acres of ground, front
ing on the terminal railroad and af-
fording excellent shipping facilities.
Under the direction OF a building
committee of Saxon officials. assisted
by Horace H. Lane, consulting engi-
neer, a unit plan of factory buildings
has been laid out which will give the
company plenty of space for expan-
sion as the growth of the business
may make necessary. The main build
ings OF the plant will be built of re-
inforced concrete, the largest unit of
which is well under way towards
completion.
Progressive manufacturing and as
sembly will be employed in ever de
partment. and the engineers have
spent several months arranging the
floor plan for the plant to eliminate
waste motion in the various manufac-
turing processes. The routing Of all
parts has been mapped so that the

1t was less thar twenty years ago
that the first automobile made its
appearance in Pendleton. and today
Pendleton has one automobile for
every Is of her residents, a per cap
ita that is not equalled by any city or
town on the Pacific coast. according
to the statistic gatherers.
The approach of the first automo-
bile show of Pendleton has given rise
to many "reminiscences in connection
with the first cars that rolled over
Pendleton streets. None of these are
more interesting than those of Coun-
Gilman D. d. Phelps who acted at odd
times as chauffeur for E Y. Judd
who brought the original automobile
to Pendleton.

Mr.. Phelps doesn't remember the

speak of her early life, election, and
work for the suffrage cause. Instead
Miss Rankin supplies the shortest bi
ography in the directory. The usua

written bv first termcrs is missing, tol
some reason, from the publication
