The water supply and distributing

HUDSON EXPANDS
TO MEET DEMAND
.$2,25O,O00 Being Expended to
Increase the Output of Super
Six and Essex Cars

ITO meet the demand for Hudson
& Essex cars, the factory has just
taken the first steps in a program of
expansion involving the Immediate
expenditure of $2,25O,OoO," the Hud-
son Motor Car Co. announced to-
day. "Of this sum s1,25o,oOO is for
the acquisition of additional land
and the erection of new buildings,
while s1,OOO,OOO is for machinery
and equipment.
although 10000 Hudson and
Essex cars are being built this year,
this number, the. largest ever turned
out in the history of the factory,
has proved inadequate to meet the
demand and the number will be in
creased next year to approximately
10000.
Every year for the past ten
wears has seen a shortage of Hud-
son cars despite the constant en-
largement of the factory facilities.
During this period the Hudson fac
tory has grown from little two
story building into the largest plant
in the world devoted exclusively to
the manufacture of fine automobiles.
But even the vast facilities were
taxed to the utmost this year by the
tremendous popularity of the new
Essex and the greatly increased de-
mand for the Super-Six, both cars
being turned out at present in the
same plant. So far this year 10000
Essex have been built and sold. But
even this great number has proved
insufficient in the face of a demand
that seems to be increasing every day
as the Essex becomes better known.
ITO meet this situation, a new
Essex plant is being constructed
lust a block from the Hudson fac
tory in Detroit. This is a concrete
and steel structure of the latest de-
sign containing 10000 square feet
of manufacturing space. 1t will
contain the Essex assembly lines
with greatly enlarged capacity,
| but the motors will continue to be
built in the Hudson factory.
THE new structure will contain
the latest and most scientific equip
ment and will incorporate many new
ideas in modern shop management
designed to facilitate the highest
standards of workmanship. 1t is
expected that this new plant will be
in operation by october l."

Beautiful Brochure, Printed by Telegraph Printing Com
pdny GiDeS Interesting Account of Wartime DeDelop
nnent; Harrisburg BuSinessmanat Head OF Firm

Perhaps no finer brochure has ever
been issued by n Harrisburg firm than
Constructive Service" just put out by
the Central Construction Corporation
the leading building concern of this city.
1t is primarily n history of the Edge
wood arsenal operations in Hartford
county, Maryland. near Baltimore, dur
ing the world war. II also includes n
record of other less formidable under
takings by the same company. 1t is
not only record of services performed
in the winning of the war, but OF her
culean efforts at speed.
The Central Construction Corpora
ton received n contract in October
1917. for the construction of Il gas shell.

time little was known in this country

ing the design of a gas shell.filling plant
which. as arranged at Edgewood, com
prises complete power plant. re
friserating plant, immense cold rooms,
novel conveyors and filling machines
of unique design.
Fast Work
The first equipment arrived on the
ground October 20. and work on tenn
porary structures-that is. bunkhouses.
mess hall. construction office, store
rooms. etc-was in full swing by the
next day. The site chosen for the Sas
shell-fillling plant was rather inacces-
sible. due TO the fact that the pike
north of Bradshaw and the country
roads branching off into both Edgewood
and Magnolia had long been in poor
state of repair. and the severe weather
beginning late in November, increased
the transportation difficulties. If one
will but realize that no materials were
purchased either by the government or
the contractors prior to october 13.
1917. for this undertaking. a better
garsp OF the remarkable results achieved
will be obtained. About 5000 men were
employed in this work.
When it became evident that vast
of workmen and soldiers
would be required. new camp build.
ings and mess halls were constructed
at top speed. Bunk houses, accommo-
dating approximately 1000 workmen
living on the grounds. and mess hall
arranged so that 1000 workmen could
be served every 90 minutes, with modern
kitchen equipment throughout. were
soon constructed. This camp was pro-
nounced by experts TO be one of the
finest of it's kind in the country.
To facilitate transportation. much
temporary road work was necessary
both inside and miles beyond the res
ervation. and many miles of perma-
nent roads were also constructed. The
railroad facilities being inadequate for
the great amount of traffic received
over the steam lines. extensive yards
and spurs were built to serve the reser-
walton.
