Worlds Fair Auto Plant
Overcame Many Obstacles
Difficulties Declared Great
as Would Be Faced in
Desert.
BvTimcs Special

BIZ Times Special
CHICAGO, Aug. pa factory set
up in the middle Of the Sahara des-
ert would be no more difficult to
conceive and to operate than the
automobile factory running at full
blast at Chicago's A Century of
Progress exposition.
The only railroad sidings within
reach are short stretches of track
holding exhibits of old-time loco
motives and trains-and an auto
mobile plant absolutely needs rail-
road facilities.
There are no sources of supply
for raw materials and without raw
materials automobiles simply can
not be built. Even if there were
sources available, there is not Stor-
age space; and fair officials would
frown on a steady stream of heavy
trucks endangering visitors. Then,
too, skilled workmen so necessary
for the production of a good auto
mobile are difficult to find so far
from the nations automobile CEN
tiers.
These were only a few of the
problems faced in the establishment
of the Chevrolet assembly line when
it was decided last year that visi-
tors to the fair would like to see
cars actually built before their eyes.
Enthusiastically. every one Of the
problems was solved, so that sight
seers at the 1884 edition of A Cen
fury of Progress watch the cars be-
ing built on an assembly line that
boasts all the efficiency and pre-
cision of a regular plant.
Here's how it is done.
There is no storage space for
raw materials, so parts and sup
plies are ordered in exact quanti-
ties for the cars scheduled for pro-
duction each day. There is no room
on the exhibition grounds for even
this supply, so a warehouse in the
city is used. Then late each night,
when Chicago is sleeping and the
fair is deserted, a stream of heavy
Il uNko AuAAA0AEo III Will NAAC pal 10
that tomorrow will be put together
as new cars.
It is impossible to recruit a good
factory organization overnight, so
skilled labor was imported. Fisher
Body, for example. selected its best
workmen-men who have spent
years in developing the highest
form of craftsmanship and assigned
them to the model Chicago factory.
The construction of Chevrolet
cars in the fair plant is exactly the
same as it is in the large assembly
plants in nine industrial centers of
the country.
Thousands of cars were turned out
before the eyes of millions of spec
tators last season in this factory.
Each of the cars produced this year
will be adorned with a dashboard
medallion concentrating the fact
that the car was built at A Century
Of Progress exposition.

Tile Theatrical World
Splendid Season Faces
City Theater GOerS
BY WALTER ID. HICKMAN :

THE legitimate movie and mu-
l. steal outlook for this fall and
winter is the best in five years.
I am convinced by many pre-
views that the general m OWE
product is better than it has been
for five years.
Any season that gives "T'he Cats
Paw" "She Loves Me Not" Our
Daily Bread" and many others 1
have seen proves to me that the
new season will be a banner one
from the standpoint of good and
intelligent theater.
Of course, it is a little early for
Vincent Burke, manager of Eng
lish's, to shine his shoes and re-
turn from the lakes, but the New
York offices of several producing
firms have enlightened me.
The Theater Guild intends send
ing George M. Cohan here in "Ah
Wilderness" one of their big hits
on Broadway last season.
The Guild also has English's
listed for Helen Hays in Mary
Queen of Scotland"
Those two important events in
the theater alone would make the
season at English's an outstanding
one. 1t is more than probable
that we will get the original COM
pany in CAS- Thousands Cheer"
one of the long run shows on
Broadway.
We are assured at English's of
return engagement of Green
Pastures" which played to ca
pacity at every performance when
here a season or two ago.

that form of entertainment with

BUSINESS CAIN
NOTED BY NRA
AFTER SURVEY
Decided UptUrn Recorded
During First Half of
This Year.

81 TINES Special
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2s.-The
national recovery administration
last week presented a survey. based
upon the August letters Of the Ma
tional City Bank and Crandall's
Corporation Analyst. which shows
an impressive Upturn in business
for the first six months Of 1884 as
compared with the corresponding
period OF last year.
The survey reveals earnings, by
individual corporations and ~ in
dustries, for the two half-yearly
periods.
For example. it is shown that the
net profits OF $50 corporations
amounted to s276. $4,000 for the
first six months OF this year. against
S86. 1862, 900 for the same period last
year.
Fewer Show Deposits
The percentage reporting deficits
was tWenty-three this year COM
pared TO forty-four in 1888. The
net profits Of Dol units of the group
which had deficits totaling sl9.03s,-
600 for the first quarter Of 1888 was
S242 .268 900.
The study shows that the earnings
of the General Motors Corporation
for the first half of 1884 totaled
$50 587, 900. against $1,000 900 last
year. However. other automobile
manufacturing companies as whole
revealed a deficit of S6l87.OO0 for
the first half Of this year. against a
deficit of s5,342, 900 in 1888.
Accessory Industry Gains
Automobile accessory companies
chalked up profits of s84l6,OOO,
against a deficit of S465,O0O last
year. The yellow Truck and Coach
Company showed a profit of S272,-
600. compared to a deficit of Sl,lS8,-
600 in 1898. while the Caterpillar
Tractor Company earned more than
$1,000 900 this year. against def
CITY of more than $4,000 last year.
The list Is decidedly impressive OF
individual companies, in many dit
ferent industries, which either have
gone from red to black this year, or
have gone from black to blacker, or
from red to a little less red.
Taken on this basis it can not be
denied that results. on the whole,
have been at least definitely encour-
aging.
