GREAT MOTOR
FACTORY WILL
Be ENLARGED
Addition to Cost 81, 800, 900
Is Planned by Dodge Broth
ers Company.

DETROIT, Sept. 30.-With de-
mand for cars already exceeding
capacity Of their great plant at
Hamtramck, Dodge Brothers, Inc,
have announced that work will be-
gin Immediately on an eight.story
addition that will cost in the neigh
borhood OF $780, 900.
The new building will contain
approximately 5000 square feet
of floor space. 1t will be 400 feet
long and will be used exclusively
for manufacturing purposes.
Completion of the new unit, which
Is expected by the first of next year.
will give employment 10 several
hundred additional employees.
Arthur w. Waterfall, vice presi.
dent Of Dodge Brothers, is authority
for the statement that total sales Of
Dodge cars for 1922 will be close to
100 200, while the highest previous
total is $4,000. Mr.. Waterfall in
discussing the new project said that
II was nothing more than an addi-
tional expression of the unusual
growth and expansion enjoyed by
the company, especially during the
last seven years.
With the facilities offered by the
new building, the capacity of the
plant, which is about 900 cars a day,
will be increased to between 900 and
! 1000. Inquiry among Dodge dis
tributors recently revealed that they
had been stripped Of cars for
delivery since early in the year and
have not been able to fill orders.
