f MOTORS CORPORATION II! MAY LOCATE IN CITY; MEETING IS CALLED

a -

' Richmond business men and citizens are -urged-to attend a public meeting in the high school auditorium Monday night to go over the project of locating a motor corporation here. The president of the company, will apeak at the meeting. .:. ' The corporation has lately obtained control of a Michigan' company and is about to begin the manufacture of a tractor. Adam Bartel, president of the industrial fund committee of the old Commercial club, is anxious to hare a representative crowd of business men present, to discuss the situation relative to getting the factory here. Is Forced to Move. Horace Kramer has been in communication with officials of the oonv pany. Mr. Kramer stated Saturday that the corporation had already been forced to move some of its materials from the parent factory at a nearby Ohio city. ; The company' has been forced to erect a number of booses there for its workingmen, due to failure on the part of townspeople there to accommodate the men, according to Mr. Kramer. "While the housing situation in Richmond is far from ideal," Mr. Kramer said, "It is a situation that prevails everywhere and if the people of Richmond get behind the movement and are willing to build the city may get a new Industry. The company has been casting about for a new site. Richmond is considered very favorably by officials. Industrial Fund Continues. Although the Richmond Commercial Club has disbanded, the industrial fund continues, and has almost a year to run. The board of five in charge of the fund is as follows: Adam Bartel, George Eggemeyer, H. C. Hasemeier,

Atwood Jenkins, and John P. McCarthy. It has been estimated that the fund, consisting of Uberty bonds and securities of local concerns that were helped to locate here, amounts to approximately $a0,000 of assets that could be used for further development work. It has been suggested that the corporation would naturally locate, when making a change, near the parent factory in Ohio. It is pointed out, however, that congested housing conditions in that city would discourage any movement to locate there. It is also pointed out that the splendid railroad facilities of this city, with which switching facilities connecting all of them, are especially attractive to shippers and factories such as this corporation.

The motor is a neavy-uuiy gasuu engine specially adapted to farm tractor work.

Lahman was elected to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of the former president.
