AppersOn Plant
Reflects GrOWth;
Started In Shop

"Twenty-six years ago on the banks
Of the Wildcat, a little stream wander
ing through Kokomo, ind, there stood
q machine shop. Two brothers, Elmer
and Edgar Apperson, having come to
the city of kokomo from the farm to
make their fortunes, opened this shop
for the manufacture Of saw gummers
and machinery OF q like character. Their
manufacturing was confined to four
narrow walls but their vision embraced
the country and it's future.
Ut was here, with their hands, that
the first mechanically successful Amer
lean automobile was built. 1t was a
hand made affair-custom built. Crude,
small powered, of course it could not
be compared to the modern motor ear,
Laughed at and ridiculed, the APP
person brothers continued their expert
p~eeuliarlties Of history that the things
often laughed at In their inception be-
come the sayiers of the sGpffers. This
Is 100 per cent true of TIE first auto
mobile.
First in the manufacture of the mo-
tor car, the Apperson Brothers have
been first In the development of it.
Each stage through the single cyiin-
der, double cylinder, four cylinder, six
cylinder and now the eight cylinder has
seen the Apperson Brothers in the fore
front. Builders of custom made cars
at the start, they have never changed
and today the Apperson-'The Eight
with Eighty Less Parts'-is Ameri.-
as one manufactured custom-made
car,
Their efforts have been worth while.
The little machine shop has grown to
two plants, The little car of a quar-
ter OF a century ago nas developed un-
taltering into the Apperson masterpiece
OF today, Designed and built nearly 90
per cent In the Kokomo shops, the
Apperson Ia y true product OF tried ex-
perienee."

CLOSED CARS

Improvement and rcftlementS In the
various closed models which the Liberty
company produces until 1t is said that
one can almost anticipate the trend of
closed car construction by observing
the first OF these AIRS 70 come out each
year, The models which are now being
delivered are no exception to this usual
happening,
The line oopsists, as heretofore, of a
sedan, coupe Ind b~rougham. The out
standing fact about these cars is, that
while In every Ease their construction
shows considerable betterment. chiefly
In body design, the prices on two mod

been reduced.
