precision. Late in the spring of 1919
they decided to pool their scant
resources and gamble on a business
which would use precision as its
guide.
Incorporated In 1919
So it was that on July 10, 1913,
Ex-Cell-O was Incorporated as the
Ex-Cell-O Tool & Manufacturing Co.
1t was first housed in a small two
story building on Beaubfen street in
Detroit. 1t consisted of 2,375 square
feet of floor space. ~
In 1923 a second plant was acquired
in Detroit with $4,000 square feet of
floor space, and it was here that
Ex-Cell-O precision ball bearings
were developed. ~ y
The firms fame as leading, pro-
ducer of precision tool details, parts
for leading automotive, aircraft and
Diesel engine manufacturers became
firmly established.
These processes, along with newly
designed diamond boring machine
and a Diesel fuel injection system,
necessitated larger quarters on Oak
man Boulevard, building with
30,500 square feet.
Manufacture of aircraft parts, a
phase of the operation which today
comprises much of the company's
business in Ohio and Indiana, became
so important in 1929 that the firm
name was changed to Ex-Cell-O Air
craft & Tool Corp. AT the same time
the plant area expanded to cover
1880 square feet.
The history of the rising industry
has been a succession of building
new plants, buying out operations and
plants closely allied with the Excel
o corporation.
Growth of The sos
In 1880 the Continental Tool Works
was acquired bringing new standards
of precision to the fabrication of var.
ious metal parts.
One outgrowth of acquiring Con-
tinental was the development OF
tungsten carbide cutting tools, and
from that the introduction of the

Modern Homes On Tour

! The three modern homes being
opened to the public during the
Old Homes and Gardens Pilgrim
age, Berlin, on Friday, June 8th
offer an interesting contrast to the
. old hcsnes on the tour.
The colonial homes were built
when plentiful servants made for
NAL entertaining possible and large
dining rooms were the rule, some
times placed quite a distance from
the kitchen. None of the contem-
ponary houses shown on tt:;s tour
has a separate dining room.
AS an example, Inverness, tie
Fraser home on Sinepuxest Boy,
has several eating spots. The coun-
try style kitchen provides cozy
winter time dining area. In the
spring and fall an enclosed porch
on the bay side is chosen, and in
the summer months an outdoor
fireplace is the center of interest
for picnic meals. The living room
is always available for large
groups.
At Tinnepuxent, another bag
shore home, General and Mrs. Stan
ford Swindler also prefer informal
living and their ranch style house
has large kitchen which supplies
ample facilities and conveniences
for dining. In perfect contrast, al
most directly opposite this home
and framed by its picture window
stands the shell of the once beau
tiful and still we'll known Genezer
manor house, one of the earliest
of the pre-revolutionary houses in
this section.
A modified Cape Cod house. the
Chandler house in Berlin is fine
example of adapting the charm of
fhe old to suit the living habits of
today Unlike its predecessors, this
new Cape Cod has large multi
purpose rooms. The living room is
19 by % feet and the kitchen-din-
ing room is 16 by 20 with the din
ing area only partially divided from
the kitchen. The breeZeway in the
modern version is used as an in
formal summer living room and
plavroom for the grandchildrn
The old homes being repeated on
the Pilgrimage are: Golden Quar-
fer built in 1851, the home of Mr.
Franklin Purnell on Ayres Creek
Caleb's Discovery, the colonial
country home of Mr.. and Mrs. VIII
liam P. Phillips. Burley Cottage.
the 122 year old house occupied by
Mrs. G. E. Henrv, direct descen-
dant of the builder, Dunwandrin'

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
BY GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

friends have asked me, is it as simple
as that?
They point out to me:
There are hundreds of oil company
spokesman in the state and where
would this debating business end?
Could oil people simply run them
ragged and after the first debate or
two weary the people of the issue
and then blame Olsen and Condor?
Would they get fair publicity out
of any debate, in Montana's press?
However, the question still fingers
in my mind about who should debate
this issue?
Should it be between elected of
ficials? Above and beyond Governor
Aronson's opposition to Olsen and
Condor on the land board his name
is included on one of the suits as
party at interest. But Governor Aron-
son will not debate-he is not de-
batter, and were | in his place l
wouldn't either. Should he then an
