Once upon a time in the early days
of the automobile industry few fac
tories designed and built the parts of
their car as most plants do today.
Contracts were let to machine shops.
large and small A certain shop in De-
troit grew tY such proportions that it
eventually developed until 1t is today
one of the greatest automobile insti-
tutions in the world.
Two brothers shared in the sensa-
tional achievements of this great mo-
tor organization.
During the war their plant perform
ed singular services for Uncle Sam and
recently they were praised by a for
eign representative for having con-
tributed n Of the most invaluable
essentials of the allies requirements.
The tragic passing of John Dodge
in January has left the responsibilities
and fortunes of this great institution
upon the shoulders of his surviving
brother who consequently stands one
Of h most powerful single figures in
the industry.
