Explanation of the Davis-Westcbtt factory deal was made as follows by the Davis company: , Steady increase of the. demand for the Davis cars not only here in the United States but abroad, has grown to such an extent that the Davis Mo--tor Car company has found it impossible to meet same without greatly increasing the working capacity of the factory. After various negotiations the Davis company has succeeded in taking over the entire plant 'of their neighbor automobile manufacturers, the Westcott Motor Car company, and will occupy same on July 1 of the present year. Wanted More Space. For two years the Davis people have been looking for more space, and by such an arrangements they have increased same to cover 125,000 square feet with their old and new plants combined. Many important changes will also be made in their factory equipment by adding the latest Improved tools and machinery and by employing the most skillful artisans in order to follow the standard that the Davis Motor Car Company has for themselves; that is, to produce standard, highgrade cars at a price to meet the keenest competition. Large distributors of the Davis cars have been appointed In every big city of the United States, as for instance, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Boston, Pittsburg. Columbus, O., Cincinnati, Cleveland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Indianapolis, Providence, Kansas City, etc. Start Export Business.

The result has been that the Davis cars are now being shipped in quantities to Europe, Australia, China, Japan, Africa, Central America and South America, giving everywhere, under any climate or conditions of roads, entire satisfaction to the Owners. After fourteen years of -strenuous labor this company, which was established in 1902, by Mrs. George W.

Davis, It aciual president, has now reached a point where it can be classed among the leading automobile manufacturers in the United States. Although owing to the increase in the factory production, the Davis company will add to their working force many skillful mechanics and. working men the management of the company will remain the same, Mr. George W.
