JACQUET GETS
MANY LETTERS
ASKING FOR CARS
COMPANY is IN DAILY RECEIPT
OF QUERIES FOR AGEN-
CIES AND INFORMATION

The company is in almost daily re-
ceipt of letters from big responsible
| firms in the auto world asking for
agencies, cars, ETC., and it is beyond
doubt but that if the stock now be-
ing sold, is floated successfully, that
the success of the concern from a
real financial, dividend paying stand
point is assured.
While the Jacquet has had many
an obstacle to overcome here and
while some of the men connected
with it have caused some rather un-
favorable publicity to be aimed at
it, il. is now on the solid foundation
which it should have been placed on
at the beginning and it has received
and is receiving publicity in the out
side world, as the following letter,
received on this Wednesday morning
from the american National Com
mercial Company would prove.

CITIES SUFFER FROM
EFFECTS OF MOTOR
CAR SHORTAGE

San Diego, Calm many cities
along the Pacific coast, the car short
age is very serious affair.
A small fortune in deposits has
been returned to prospective pur-
chasdrs this spring by meomobile
dealers because of the utter impos-
sibility of being able to make deliv-
cries within the next few months.
How serious this situation is can be
seen everywhere. One San Diego
dealer is more than 600 cars behind
in his deliveries and is refusing to
take an order for delivery under six
months. This is, of course, an ex-
treme case, but it is indicative of the
general condition of the coast.
California dealers can see only one
solution, and that is the location by
the manufacturers of more assembly
plants along the coast. They point
to the success which has attended
the Ford and Chevrolet operations
and to the fact that since they must
depend entirely upon freight deliv-
ery-and the location of assembly
plants in California would make ten
freight cars suffice where 100 are
needed now--it is a logical solution
Of the difficulty.

JACOUET MOTOR CORPORATION
IS IN bELD|NG TO STAY
The Corporation Has $50, 900 Subscrib-
ed and the Balance will go Rapidly
toBelding and Ionia Co. Citizens
Enthusiasm Spreads Throughout Country Company to be
Managed by Experts Organization will be Capable
of Profitable Production

After an exhaustive investigation
we find the Jacquct Motor Corpor-
alton to be without question, one
which every Belding and Ionia coun-
ty citizen should get behind to keep
here. 1t is of unusual merit, and
one, which the Board of Commerce,
not only recommends; but will get
behind with their whole energy and
money. We ask and urge every Bel
ding citizen to do likewise. 1t is one
of the biggest opportunities Belding
has ever had and the only one she
will need, if accepted now.
The report and verbal endorse
, ment of the character and ability OF
the men now conducting the busl-
ness is they are without question
very capable in the motor line.
The stock, all common, $1,000 per
share, par value, worcestershire.
These men have expert knowledge
of and are active in the building up
of pleasure car company. They
are familiar with the building and
the marketing, and have got approved
and accepted models for production.
They have a largo following in the
industry, which precludes the usual
expense and delay of building an
organization to market the product.
BeIding men are officers in the COM
pany and assist in directing its af-
fairs.
Object. This is primarily a Bel
ing institution for Ionia county peo-
pie, insuring rapid Development and
personal prosperity to all.
There has already been subscribed
over $4,000 in stock, and it is the
desire to make Belding the home of
the finest pleasure car built in Amer
lea.

Wheretor The Pleas
ure Car Industry

1t is impossible, in this short space
to paint a word picture, which will
clearly portray the enormous and
profit-bearing possibilities in the
pleasure car field. However, briefly
pleasure car manufacturing has beer
effected by present day conditions, il
may be truthfully stated that the
following facts are recognized as
self evident by those intimate with
the industry.
First. At the present time and fol-
two years past, every legitimate
pleasure car company in production
has lost during the first months OF
each year enough bona fi}e book bus
mess to maintain a manufacturing
institution larger than any in exis-
tence today, and there is every rea-
SON to believe that this condition will
continue indefinitely.
Second. The present opportunities
for car manufacturing methods and
legitimate service methods are great
er for a new pleasure car manufac-
turing company to build along scien-
tific lines as they are understood to-
day than for most similar concerns
long since in the business.
Third. The situation calls for
nothing new in design; but merely
perfection and extension of present
designs to meet universal require
NETS, which only a new company
composed of men intimate with the
business, can best accomplish.
Fourth. The building, which now
houses the Jacquet Motor Corpora
tion is well laid out for the present
needs of the company, and can lend
itself to expansion. Likewise, a
large factor of safety will be allowed
throughout the whole plan of devel-
opment up to and including the point
of actual production and sale. of the
product.
Fifth. This company can offer to
present day dealers and distributors
of high class car an agency, which
, will call for little If any, additional
investment in the business. 1t will
increase their profit and build up
their service. In fact. it assists
prominently in making permapent
their retail institutions.
Sixth. "Procrastination s the
thief of profit" An organization
plan for circumstances outline is be-
fore us, and the opportunity to make
Belding and Ionia county to cash in
on it. The future demand for pleas
ure cars can not be questioned.

1.-THE JACQUET FLYER, BE[D|NG'S
OWN CAR, LATEST ACHIEVEMENTS
Plant Practically Ready for Operation
and Within a Very Short Time
Cars will be Produced
Every Stakeholder Enthusiastic Over The Decision Of the
Company to Remain in Beding-Ready to
Boost Their Stock Holdings

THE CAR Has been designed with
the view of making
it strictly high class job through
out, using the very best mater
iai and workmanship that the
worlds market affords. 1t is excep-
tionally smart in lines, powerful and
fast, so that it may be truly termed a
fast and powerful car with great en-
durance. The parts for 1921 cars
have been received from the parts
manufacturers.
THE FRAMES Are of a special de-
sign being built
by A. r. o. Smith Corporation
of Milwaukee, full Aluminium bo-
dies of a Spbrt Roadster type
and the upholstering is of solid
leather throughout.
THE CHASSIS Is 130 inch wheel
base and will ac-
comodate comfortable four pas
senger Sport Model body or a Road
ster body that will comfortably
seat three people. The weight of the
car is estimated at $500 pounds.
THE MOTOR Is the famous Wis
consin model and
has a Az inch bore by 6 inch
stroke and is a four cylinder type
and has many special features.
Built by expert engineers who un-
derstand the business. 1t is a very
powerful and sturdy motor. 1t is
thoroughly developed and highly eff
ficient.
THE PLANT Is located in Bel
ding, on the Pere
Marquette railroad, and is an ideal
The present main building is 231
feet long, 100 feet wide. two stories
high and go feet deep. The re-
mainder of the plant is pully equip

a short time, it is planned that
the factory will be in full pro-
'duction. Materials are daily arriv-
ing at the plant which are paid for.
Inc Corporation owns enough real
estate to build a factory. five times
It's present size which will take care
OF any additional expansion that may
come in the near future.
THE MARKET 1t is a we'll known
fact that the four
cylinder motor is gaining by leaps
and bounds in public favor and il
it further known that the restricted
issuance of four cylinder motors
results in a decided >under-suppIk
of motor cars. A further point
OF Importance in our favor is the
fact that there is now definite
established place in the market
for this particular motor. since
the actual sales in the past ten years
have averaged into the hundred of
thousands. Hence it is readily ap-
parent that the production we con-
template will fall far below the past
yearly average of the car carrying
this same motor, and we should,
therefore, expect to market our pro-
duct at the very minimum selling and
advertising expense.
DISTRIBUTION Since it has been
made known that
the Jacquet Motor Corporation of
America will manufacture this par
tlcular type of car containing the
a cylinder motor, scores of definite
requests for agencies have been made
by distributors of the very highest
class. There is more than enough
domestic business already at hand to
absorb our FIRST years output.

AUTOMOBILES MAKE
DETROIT FOURTH CITY

Tribute to the automobile industry
as the foundation for the extraordi-
nary growth of Detroit is given by
the press throughout the country as
result of the publication of census
figures that city in fourth place, with
total of 996,796 inhabitants, a gain
of more than 131 per cent. That the
phenomenal squirt has been due sole
ly to the influence of the automobiles
is conceded and the figures furnish
elaborate testimonial to the motor
vehicle as a necessity in the life OF
the nation.
The city's chief claim to distinction
before the advent of the motor vehi-
Gle was as stove building center,
but today no one thinks of Detroit
save as the home of the automobile.
With "a automobile factories in De-
troit and nearby towns in production,
two others about to start and 18 truck
factories turning out trucks in vary
ing sizes the layman may grasp some
idea of the influence welded. And
that reveals but a portion of the
story for the manufacture of auto
mobiles and trucks means the oper-
alton of parts and accessory factories
that furnish employment to almost
as many persons as the vehicle plants
That the very life Of Detroit hangs
on the automotive industry must be
conceded when it is known that $780,
600 of the total population are en-
ployed in some branch of the industry
with the others dependent on them.

telegram in the hand is worth two
special delivery letters you can't find !;
so l tore open the yellow envelope.
Now, 1t is habit of mine to read the
signature before the message. The
signature was my brothers name. My
brother is not telegraph person. ex-
cept for bad news. and the sight of his
name gave me a shock, and for good
haif-minute / could not go on with the
message. But when | got the courage
to face what had happened in the fam
lily. this is what appeared:
II am obliged to ask you TO come TO
Philadelphia tomorrow on urgent bust
ness. Take the train leaving New
York at IL a. m. I will meet you at
Broad Street station"
| think the first thing that struck
me as queer In 1t was the large num-
ber of words-words that no expert
enced business man, using telegraphic
communication all the time, would
have put in-the "tos" and "the's :"
and then, II am Obliged to ask"-my
brother would say "Must ask you
come" or please come"
The second queer thing was saying
he'd meet me when his Office is just
around the corner from the station
and he knows | don't expect him to
waste time standing about waiting fSr
n train that may he late.
