said in a brief speech. Calls Outlook Bright
Reviewing prospects for the Indianapolis plant, Mr. Seacord said the business outlook for the unit here is brighter from the employment standpoint than for the company’s other two truck plants in Ft, Wayne and Springfield, O. “Added employment in the other two plants means only taking back former employees while the employ- . ment increase here means new jobs for new men who never have worked for the company before,” he said. When construction work on the plant here is completed, the company will have three large factory * buildings, the motor .unit, foundry unit and a third, yet unnamed. “The. original building plans drafted in 1936 will not be curtailed as was reported a year ago,” Mr. Seacord said.
‘Report Circulated
During the business recession it was reported that the company might curtail building plans here. . “Business increases have made necessary the completion of the full units as originally planned,” he said. The motor unit of the factory was completed last spring and production started immediately. The foundry unit will be completed and operating by July 1 and the third unit is expected to be completed two months later, he said. Other high executives of the company here for the meeting included C. R. Morrison, vice president in charge of sales; John Morrow Jr. vice president in charge of purchasing; L. P. Thayer, vice president in charge of foreign sales, and S. B. White, secretary. Mr. Morrison said there has been a “decided increase in general sales 2 North America since last November.” Fowler McCormick, second vice president in charge of manufacturing, was expected to arrive here by plane today.
