Purchase of a 16-acre tract
Of land in the northwest section
Of Mount Clemens, ostensibly to
serve as site for a manufac-
turing plant, was confirmed to-
day by Earl c. Genthe, secre-
tary of the Electromaster Corp'n.
of Detroit.
Genthe, whose firm manufac-
lures electric ranges, electric
water heaters and electric ket-
ties, declined to state specifically
the purpose for which the land
had been purchased from Jo-
seph c. Ernst, of Richmond. He
said, merely that the company's
plans for use of the property are
not yet complete.
Christian F. Matthews, Mount
Clemens attorney for the manu-
featuring firm, negotiated the
deal which resulted yesterday in
filing of deed for the property
with the Macomb County Reg
lister of Deeds.
The tract embraces a triangu-
lar parcel of property, roughly
bounded by Lafayette and Hub
bard avenues as we'll as the
Grand Trunk railway tracks. It
was owned for many years by
Walter c. Steffens, of Fraser,
later by Robert Eldredge and,
more recently by Ernst who
made the sale to Electromaster.
The possibility that several
more acres in the immediate vi
cinity of the property may be
acquired by the Detroit manu-
featuring concern was the SUBJ
ject of speculation today.
