of the ESSEX

If speed is your requirement see if the

and finish are demanded compare the
Essex with any car.
1t is needless to speak Of the Hudson.
All know what it has done. It's records,
which prove supremacy throughout the
range of performance, are confirmed by
the satisfaction that more than $4,000
owners know in their Super-Sixes.
The supply of Hudsons and Of Essex
has never been sufficient for the demand.

disappointment in getting either of these
popular cars, by placing your order under
the convenient plan we have set forth
above.

were used as dormitories for the en-
listed men.
Practically $4,000 was expended
by the Commercial club in converting
the old factory into fitting quarters.
All of this money, however, was re-
turned to the club by the government,

ficient and capable methods of hand
ling the men were praised by citizens.
While true diciplinarian. he had the
respect Of the school, as we'll as of
citizens of Richmond.
Men Are Drilled
During the time he had charge of
the school, July l. to late in. Noyem-
Der. the men under him received prac-
teal, as well as theoretical instruction
in automobile work, and were drilled
each day in a drill lot especially pre-.
pared.
Three government trucks were sent
by the government to the school. to
familiarize the men with truck driv.
ing and repairs. Calls We're issued
to local people to send in their auto
mobiles if they needed repairing In
most cases it was asked that the cars
be left at the camp for the winter. 50
that the men would have plenty cf
time for instructive work. Many local
cars were repaired free of charge in
this manner.
A drill ground just north of the old
barracks was ased for some time. but
finding the lots inadequate, a number

lying just south of the Whitewater
river, and east of North Tenth street,
were graded. Upon this ground the
men of the camp received the major
portion Of their drill experience.
Clear the Ground
Beneficial results from the work
done on and around this drill ground
are still to be appreciated Much

swampy land near the river was cut
out and removed by the men in train

quito breeding nests, which were likely
to cause spread of disease.
Before the end of the first contract
of four months between the govern
ment and the local club, it was evident
that new quarters would have to be
supplied to care for more men With
this idea in view the ground adioin-
ing the old barracks on the south was
secured and erection of a modernly
equipped barracks started.
This building provided a basement
and two floors. Three furnaces were
installed in tn building, and very i'm
provement and convenience over the
old building was supplied. The Sec
ond contract made by the club with
the government was for eight months

pected to tit 1000 men for active SER
vice. This second contract was to

Signing of the ,armistice on Nov. IL,
however, stopped the starting of this
newly equipped training school The
building that had just been erected
at cost Of 100000. was sold to be
torn down at $500. No deficit was sus-
tanned by the club: however as an
auditor and district inspector repre-.
senting the government went over
the accounts, making allowances for
expenses and settling for differences.
That the camp was success from
the standpoint Of training for the
soldier, and of benefit to the commun-
ity has not been questioned. Records
kept by Captain Roberts showed that
an average of ~ pounds were gained
by the men during each so days
course. AS precaution against a
possible small rationing of the men.
government inspectors regularly ar
! rived for inspection Of the menu and
kitchen equipment.
During the stay of the camp the
men took part in parades and other
civic programs and arrangements. At
one time the club treated the men to
a picnic.
After the camp was abandoned. the
captain and a platoon Of men stayed
for nearly a month to take charge of
packing and storing Of the remaining
supplies.
The committee in charge of this
camp. representing the Commercial
club, were Howard Dill, chairman;
George Seidel and J. T. Giles. then
superintendent Of the Richmond pub
lie schools.

the time of the armistice, when Or

to discontinue further production.
In the spring of 1913, in conjunction
with the Plat Iron Works of Dayton
and the c. l.. Best Gas Traction COM

contract for large quantities of the six

entire output of the plant was 100 per
cent in the interest of winning the

Mr.. Galbraith enjoys the distinction
of having been both soldier and sailor

surroundings did not lack for military
atmosphere, for he was born in Water

OF the services rendered by Rich

purpose of training men for service
in truck or automobile departm ents
of the army Before the armistice
was signed in November, over 200
men had received 6O-day courses OF in
struction, and a building costing over
100000 had been built with fun pro-
visions for caring for 1000 men in an
eight months contract which had just
been signed.
Government instruction schools had
been in operation in many parts of
the country, and when Kenneth V.

Plan of Operation
The plan by which the Commercial
club operated the school was one of
neither profit nor loss. The govern
ment paid a certain amount for each
man receiving instruction over a so
days period. and it was so regulated
that at the end of the course the. club
would have back just exactly what it
had cost them to provide barracks,
rations, and other equipment.
Under the first contract made by
the club, the old building on North
Tenth street formerly an oil mill, but
then owned by the Hoffman Leaf To
bacco company. was obtained from the
present owners free Of charge. The
company'S only provision was that the
building be returned to them at the
end of the training periods in as good
condition asst was when leased. This
provision was inserted because
changes were necessary to make the
building comply with army regula-
tons.
A hot air furnace was installed on
each of the three floors. and army in
spectOrs provided the required mea-

placed in the building according to
the best methods of sanitation

was used for repair shop, in which
old automobiles and parts Of engines
were overhauled and repaired Trucks
were torn down and re-assembled; all
