OUTSIDERS ARE
TAKING STOCK IN
JAcQUET CORP.
VOLUNTARY SUBSCRIPTIONS
FOR STOCK ARE CONSTANT
LY BEING RECEIVED

Things are coming along fine with
the Jacquet Motors Corporation and
the first of the material, parts, etc.
has already arrived and more is ex-
pected daily. New machinery Will
also soon arrive and be placed In
position along with the already good
equipment which the concern acquir.
ed when it purchased the building
and when materials finally do arrive
the work of making the first cars
will be shortened considerably thru
the fact that so much preparatory
work has been done while waiting Tor
the big start,
A trip up to the factory showed
splendid progress in the matter or
cleaning up and remodelling. The
walls have been cleaned and painted
white, The machinery has been plac>
ed and everything about the plant
put in shipshape order. The new
Office rooms of the company are nm.
ished and they are certainly a credit
to the skill of Ed. Covert and Sherd
Hammontree. the two carpenters who
have been doing the work. In addl-
ton to this the floors in the office
have been covered with heavy, ex-
pensive beautiful green linoleum and
the Offices give that classy appear
ance which one finds in the office
quarters Of the better class and lar
ger concerns.
Some people are of the opinion
perhaps that matters are dragging
along with the company. This may
be true in some respects, but 1T ia
not the fault of either Mr.. Alfred
jackson, president. nor Mr.. l.. w.
Wilson, general manager Of the con-
Germ, as they are eXerting every effort
to get the plant in readiness, get
materials, parts and accessories here
and get production started Just as
quickly as they can. One thing is
certain lowever and that is that the
future of the company is assured trt
that is no mushroom organization
and that it will in the future DC
classed among the big industrial IN
stitutions of the country and world.
That at least, seems TO be the opin-
ion of great many people who are
living around the state and who have
heard of the progress which the new
factory is making and they are send
ing in subscriptions for stock in the
DcW COHCtIu, HCW dioOiNAStd app
cations coming in practically every
day. Some of the applications hav-
ing been received from Battle Creek,
Lansing, Alma, Grand Rapids, Mar
shall, Charlotte and many other
places. This does not include the
large list of local people who think
that the proposition is conner and
that they are wise to get in on the
ground floor and share in the pie
cutting and dividing when the sun
begins to shine and the horn of plenty
of money is turned upside down for
the benefits of the stock holders
We're not getting paid for selling
stock for the company and we are not
trying to induce anyone to purchase
and we don't want to influence any
one, but the thing really looks good
to a great many people who are
pretty fair judges in these matters.
/ Both Mr.. jackson and Mr.. Wilson
are very optimistic and the prospects
never looked better they say and are
eagerly awaiting the time when they
will have production under way anc
shipments of cars are being made.

FRANKF0RTERs DISTURBED
BY A. n. DECKER.

BY Cablcgram to The Stnr and Chi
cngO Daily News. Copyright, 1920.
FRANkFORT-ON-TH MAIN, April
30.-The Frankforters are greatly dis
turbed at the latest news that the en-
tente will prolong the main occupation
until the German artillery has been de-
livered. The city hooed to see the
French withdraw in few days, as the
reichswehr was reported to have gone
from the Ruhr district.
The Frankfurter Zeitung reserves
comment until the report is verified, but
says that the manner OF solving the
problems Of Germany has special
meaning for Frankfort. This is a modi-
fication of an earlier article, in which the
paper said:
1.-The San Reno decision means that
every effort will be made to enforce the
foolish peace conditions. 1t means the
menace of occupation of Germany in
violation Of the spirit of the league OF
nations covenant and Of the treaty,
which says that only economic measures
are to be used"
The paper is silent regarding the loyal
fulfillment Of the treaty 1t Is probable
that the mayor and business men will
ask Berlin to hasten compliance, as they
did regarding the reichswehr In the Ruhr
district
