AS the first step in It's $1,000 900
expansion program, the Buick Motor
Company has started construction
Of an addition to It's engine plant
to make possible production Of
1900 engines per day.
The increase in production capac-
ity has been made necessary by
the demand for the new Buick
models introduced In August. A
new monthly sales record was set
in October, when $4,000 cars were.
shipped from the factory, and capac.
ity production throughout the VIM
ter was announced by President
Bassett.
Work on the. addition to the
engine plant will be rushed to
completion by the first Of the year.
The building, when finished, win be
one Of the largest manufacturing
units in the world, covering twelve
acres of ground. 1t will be $50
feet long and $50 feet wide. IT is
a one-story building with q roof
or. saW-tooth construction, with an
additional story at the south end
housing the offices and dining room.
