The Parker company at present is capitalized at $750,000 and has Its plant, one block south of Garfield park, running at near capacity turning out cord tires. With the huge expansion of the capital of the company will come Improvements and additions to the present factory which will make it one of the largest exclusive cord tire manufacturing plants in the United States, according to Pnul P. Parker, president. At a meeting at the factory *late yesterday a big majority, representing more than 1,400 stockholders, Indorsed the plan to increase the stock. Many persons from various parts of the country attended the meeting.

SIW FACTORY TO COST $500,000. The tentative plana call for $n expenditure this year of approximately $500,000 on the new main factory structure. This building will be 600x100 feet, two stories of steel and brick construction. On the factory plot, which is owned by the company, it is also proposed to erect a two-story administration building. This will be to the east directly in front, of -the present main faAory building. In the otfice building wiii be housed the general offices of the company, a print shop, cafteria for employes, etc. Mr. Parker will have his home on the second floor, according to the custom much in vogue in the south. When the new factory unit is completed, which is expected to be before the end of 1920, Mr. Parker says the company will afford employment to 1,500 men, mostly skilled. He estimates that the output of cord tires In the next ten months will be increased to a daily average of close to 500. With the present facilities it has been necessary to work a partial night shift in order to keep apace with production demands, Mr. Parker says.

CONTRACTS TOR AMPLE SUPPLY. As a safeguard against an uncertain market In raw materials Mr. Parker has contracted for rubber and fabric for the entire year. He claims the obtaining of materials now is a source of worry to many manufacturers. The company has contracted with a large number of direct factory distributors in the south, where Mr. Parker has concentrated in his sales efforts. These agencies, it is claimed, are taking virtually the output of the factory at present. A vast sales expansion is coming this spring, Mr. Parker says, and the need of additional production facilities thus is imperative. The Parker Tire and Rubber Company had Its birth in this city less than two years ago and has grown rapidly.' Handmade tires were being taken from the vulcanizers by the scores yesterday. “The majority of the Parker stockholders are from Kentucky and the many who attended the meeting were most enthusiastic over the progress we have made.” Mr. Parker said following the meeting. A general inspection of the plant followed ihe meeting. BLAMK BOOZE BURGLARS. TOLEDO. 0., Feb. 28.—They aren't sll booze burglaries, gay the boys here who claim to know.
