MORE ADDING MACHINES

More adding machines are made
here than anywhere else in the
world. In pharmaceuticals, the
state leads in production as well
as heavy chemicals. The state is
well up with the rest of the states
in the production of paper, furni-
ture, special machinery, steam
ships. fishing tackle, prepared
foods and a lot of other specialties
too numerous 10 mention.
Michigan makes most every
thing from tiny pins to huge lake
freighters. II supplies railroads
with cars, locomotive cranes and
numerous other parts 10 keep the
transportation system of the ma
ton in high gear.
In natural resources such as
iron ore and copper, the state is
among the leaders. From the salt
wells come magnesium, and even
that great headache reliever, as
pirin.
But all these things from now
until Washington is sure that our
way of life is safe, must be Sec
ondary to defense.

To Farmers

CADILLAC. June 5.-Michigan's
annual production of potatoes Is
sufficient to supply every family
in the nation with so pounds.
This important crop is a big
business in itself bringing in more

merchandising channels, Ere d

CITY, SCHOOLS RETRENCH

This leaves So mills for the
city and ) mills for the school
system, both of which have had
TO retrench draStically to meet
their small allowances. Schools
are letting out this week, a month
short Of a regular term, and the
city government is faced with a
walkout of municipal employees TO
higher paid industrial jobs because
the city cannot pay the rates
now prevalent in industry.
Along with the StrauSser reso-
luton on the appeal TO the state
Tex commission came a request 10
the city commission from city
sewage disposal plant employees,
who are now receiving but 90 cents
an hour, for a 20-cents-an-ho hour
pay increase The request for a
pay raise was passed on 10 the
city manager. William p. Edmon-
son. by the commission.
The city's budget for the fiscal
year beginning July l is based on
a 6i2 mill ALLEGATION. With the
lthree-tenths of a mill granted by
the ALLEGATION board last week the
cityS share is but SIS mills.
Unless the state tax commission
comes to Pontiacs aid in dividing
the 10 mills collected in this
county, the city government faces
"a Midsummer slash in personnel
and services in the midst of a
rapidly expanding defense program
rush and population expansion
which is overtaXing all city de-
partments now.

State Industry
Doing Big Job
For Defense
BY JOHN l.. LONETT

Manager. Michigan NHn"iae'"'''s
Michigan industry steps INTO
the defense program in a big way
with the same spirit that has
made Michigan industry big.
II is only fitting that manutac-
turers in this great state should
participate in a movement such
as Michigan Days for Michigan
Prosperity" This movement IS
far-reaching in lis efforts to es-
tablish wcll-developed home
market for our products.
More and more the factories OF
this state are being called on 10
carry the load in the defense OF
our way of life Tanks. airpianeS,
machine guns, trucks, ships hun
dreds of other items-are now
being passed into the service OF
the nation.
Almost a billion dollars in de-
Tense orders are on the books Of
companies and this
seems 10 be only a start. SO heavy
have the demands from the gov
eminent become that certain Of
the companies have already an
nounced that their business as
usual plans have been discarded.

LOOK AT INDUSTRY

Let us look at what industry is
in this state. In the first place
there are about 100000 workers
engaged in manufacturing. That
means a daily pay roll of upwards
of S5,000000, almost 81 500, 900 900
each year-poured into the chan
nels of trade.
These men, together with man
agement, produce almost S4,-
0O0.000,000 in manufactured goods
each year. In addition 10 the men
and women in the factories, there
is another million men and women
in other gainful jobs in the state
servicing and taking care Of the
wants of the million industrial
workers.
Michigan is first in many things
industrially. More motor cars and
trucks are made in Michigan than
in all the rest of the world put
together.

POINTS TO NEEDS

The Strausser resolution points
out that the allowance of three
tenthS Of one mill is insufficient
for the citys needs, in view of a
new state law requiring enlarge
ment OF the city's fire fighting
force. the national emergency pro-
claimed by President Roosevelt,
and the rapid growth of the city
which is straining all municipal
departments now operating al
minimum because of the low
amount received by the city out
Of the 15-mill tax restriction.
The three-tenthS Of mill grant
means, under the present valua-
ton Of the city Of approximately
SIS, 100000. about S22 500 addition
to the city treasury each year.
The new fire fighting state law
requires addition of eight firemenI
here July !, or an outlay in SAL
aries alone for the new firemenI
of 81 200 year, based on the
present rate of pay for firemen.
Straussers resolution also point
ed out that the boom in building
of homes and other structures in
rural Oakland County, that is in
districts outside cities, is rapidly
increasing the county's valuation.
and thereby providing more tax
money for the county, while the
county used but 4 mills Of its Az
mill take from the Is mills last
year.
Oakland County's AZ mill slice
is the largest Of any county in the
state.

GREW STEADILY

The business grew steadily and
in 1912. when there were SIS units.
the company was Incorporated IN
Michigan and became the s. S.
kreSge Co
The executive officers and di-
rectors were selected from kres-
ge's early associates in the bust
ness. The majority of these Of
flcers still hold the most respon-
sible positions in the company.
All of them are residents of Mich
igan and many are natives of the
state.
The Kresge main office. con-
structed in Detroit in 1929, houses
the officers who direct the COM
pany policies and activities and
the Is buyers who supply the vast
merchandise requirements of the
