POWERFUL PRESS
FOR TRUCK TIRES
A. H. Bailey's Service Station
Adds New Equipment For
Applying Tires
"Since experienced truck users,
operating in Harrisburg and other
American cities have recognized the
decided advantages in specifying
tires pressed direct to the steel band
of the truck wheel," says A. 11. Bailey
proprietor of the Eureka Wagon
Works, 614-618 North street, "the
necessity for adequate facilities to
perform this application work has be
come more urgent."
Mr. Bailey is special distributor for
Goodrich Truck Tires In Harrisburg
and vicinity. He has spared no ef
fort in his plans to demonstrate what
real truck tire service can mean to
local operators primarily Interested In
getting as near full-time work out of
their trucks as possible. Mr. Bailey
is convinced that any operator, what
ever the make or size of trucks he
uses, can be assured of the best tire
proposition in America if he equips

Cadillac to Build Huge
New Plant in Detroit
j Announcement has just been made
jby the Cadillac Motor Car Company
, that It has acquired In Detroit nearly
I 50 acres of land, whereon it will erect
a large plant to house all of its manu
facturing activities. While the pres
i ent Cadillac factory is recognized
j throughout the automobile industry
;as being the llnest equipped motor
1 car plant in the world, the company's
business has outgrown present facili
ties. It Is also desirable to concen
| trate all operations of production in
one plant.
The site of the proposed new plant,
; on which It Is expected building opera
: tions will begin next year, is regarded
as one of the most advantageously
i situated in Detroit. Its western boun
] dary is the junction of the Michigan
! Central Railroad's main line with the
Lake Shore division of the New- York
. Central. The former is the southern
boundary of the property, with the
latter as the northern boundary, with
j the tracks of the Grand Trunk a few
feet beyond. The Wabash and the
I Pore Marquette are only a short dis
tance to the west, which assures close
proximity to the Pennsylvania also
when that road enters Detroit over
the Pere Marquette lines. In the mat
ter of shipping facilities, the site is
said to be without equal in Detroit.
The land is said to have cost ap
proximately $750,000. The plant, not
j Including equipment, will, It is esti
mated, represent an investment in the
neighborhood of $2,000,000. It will
probably give employment to 10,000
to 12.000 persons.
The main advantage to the Cadillac
, Motor Car Company will be the ac
quisition of facilities adequate to
handle its growing business, and the
grouping of its various departments
j in one great plant. At present Its main
plant is at some distance from its
foundries, its sheet metal divisions,
j and its body building plant. Since the
| Cadillac Company produces nearly all
j parts of Its cars, and builds, finishes
! and trims the bodies, etc., the cen
tralizatlon of Its operations will tend
to increase the efficiency of an instltu-
I tlon already recognized for high
efficiency.
Overland Convention
to Be a Studendous Affair
f The dealers' convention, to be held
|at the factory of the Willys-Overland
j Company, Toledo. Ohio, which Is ex
pected to be the biggest affair of Its
kind ever held In the history of Amer
; lean Industry, promises to exceed all
expectations of its originators.
Nearly G.OOO dealers, their employes
and their guests are expected to at
tend to this unusual automobile con
ference from December 4 to December
23. Not only Overland and Willys-
Knight dealers from all sections are
making plans to be here in full force
on these dates, but many of them plan
to bring their salesmen, service men,
bankers and leading businessmen from
their home towns to see for them
selves the size and stability of Amer
ica's most modern automobile plant.
Factory tours, lectures and talks out
lining new sales and service policies,
minstrel and vaudeville shows, ban
quets, smokers and band concerts are
but a part of the huge program that
Is planned for their entertainment.
The convention will easily be the
greatest instance of manufacturer-deal
er co-operation on record.
Twenty-eight special trains will be
run from all sections of the country.
Accompanying many of the trains wili
be some of the most prominent officials
of American railroads, who plan to
make the trip to see that the various
special trains go through without the
slightest hitch or delay over their
lines.
This Immense convention has been
divided into nine sections in order to
give each Individual dealer an equal
share of attention.
On December 4 and 5 all dealers in
the Denver, Atlanta and Omaha zones
are expected in Toledo. The Chicago
distributor, Philadelphia zone and Pa
cific coast organization will arrive for
a. two days' stay on December 6.
