Ford Facts And HUtory.
The Ford Motor Company is
pleated to extend to all visitors,
tbe privilege of an inspection of
its plant, and lor this purpose
maintains a stuff of experienced
guides, who are thoroughly fa
miliar with ilie activities ol the
various departments.
Through its product, methods
of progressive efficiency in man-
ufacturing, the Ford Profit-
Sharing Flan, by which its em-
ployes are the best paid work-
men in tbe countiy, tbe toia
Company has become a principal
point ol interest in Detroit and
one of national prominence.
A trip to Detroit i* not com-
compi te without a visit to tbe
Ford lactory, aud visitors come,
not only from all portions ol the
United Stales, but from all parts
ol the tvond. Many loreign dig-
nitaries, while in this countr\,
have made special trips 10 De-
troll to nifpect the Ford factory ,
and to acquaint themselves with
Ford principles of sboy practice,
with the Ford Protit-SharinK
Plan, and the Sociological Work.
As many as 17,241 visi:ors have
been so entertained in a single
month. In the summer months
an average of from 300 to 400
persons are conducted through
the plant each day.
It is impossible in the short
time which the average visitor
can spend in the factory, to ob-
tain an adequate idea of the
magnitude ol tbe operations or
to toliow the details of the work.
Some of the more important pro-
cesses are set cIowh in this arti-
cle, and from its perusal, the
reader will gain a reasonable
conception of how Ford men,
methods and machinery can pro-
duce 500.000- and more, automo-
biles in a single year. The de-
scriptions are largely those
heard from the lips of he guide
One must first obtain some
conception ol the magnitude ol (
the plant, taken as a whole. The
entire Detroit property comprises
a plot of ground containing 27b
acres; there are 47.5 acres ot
floor space produces at the rate
of more than $3000,000 annually
The average number of em.
ployes is about 21,000 on the fac-
tory payroll at cne time. Ffty-
tliree nation ilities, speaking
more than 100 languages and
dialv*.:t* are to be found in the
Ford shops. The wages and
share of profits of the factory
employes al the present time,
average $2,000,000 per month.
The Administration building
to which all visitors come first,
is on Woodward avenue. This
is a four-story structure and con-
tains tbe general officies of the
Company. It is 300 feet long
and 65 feet in width. The aver-

Those who have read Gene
Stratton-P« rter's charming story
"Freckles" and loved the name-
less waif for his manly spirit, Iks
light wit,. Irish lore, and his
beautiful songs; and who iev?r-
ence the "swamp Angel" for her
beauty and her chaste, womanly
character, will meet no disap-
pointment in the play.
"Freckles" is proving still a
greater success as a song play
than the novel, which has been
read by several million people
It must not be understood that
"Freckles" Is a play essentially
with a love motive, because it is
noi. There is plenty of action
in the working out of its theme
of the kin^ that "makes tne
pulse beat laster."
The play is great in its sim-
plicity, the story is-of absorbing
interest, and an estimable exam-
ple of the value of doing right
against all temptation.

THAT'S EASY TO WORK
Saves Money
To the builder in that it saves time and work oi
carpenters. We're extremely particular about
shingles as a poor roof on any building is a nuisance.
We have just unloaded a oar of the best red cedar
shingles, also a oar of Arkansas white oak posts.
Come in and look our stock over before buying.
Yours for a square deal,
