word In drop forge construction and
the largest In the northwest. When
completed will consist OF 10 ham.
mefs ranging from 1000 to 10000
pounds with like number OF die

tensive and complete. manned by the

ment and processes for treating MI
kinds Of work all under highly ex-
pcrtenced and skilled men.
The engineering force II probably
not excelled by any in this country.
some OF them having extensive ex-
pcrience with automobile engineer
inE concerns In this country and In
France. Their product. the 1919
Pan Motor and the tractor motor.
both show the excellence OF their
skin.
The chemistry laboratory IL an
other complete scientifically develop
ed department of the plant Nothing
is guessed at. everything In deter
mined along well established scien-
tific lines. In our inspection we also
found . stock OF mahogany also It's
use In car production. This was the
mahogany which Mr.. Veerkamp stat
ed he saw and was lightly referred
to In an article In the Journal BY
Mr.. Kohler as having no place In an
automobile factory. We desire to
say for the Information OF the pub
lie generally that mahogany Is the
best and hnest material used In pat
tern making.
In conclusion we wish to state
that an appraisal OF the tangible as
sets OF the Pan Motor Company was
recently made by the well known
firm of Coats 4 Burchard of Chica-
go and the information given out
warrants the statement that the as
sets of the company at St. Cloud will
approximate $5,OO0.0 100000 which
does not bear out the statement that
the stockholders have been swim
died.
We saw fve reels OF moving pic
lures OF the factory which were
shown in Monte Vista May l4th. and
will state that we found at the fac
tory all the machinery. buildings and
equipment shown in these pictures.
and much more machinery that has
been received and installed since
these pictures were taken. The fac
tory is actually greater than these
pictures show.
We believe that no fair minded
person could make any other report
than we are making, after careful
ly examining the factory.
Respectfully submitted,
