Largest Banquet
Ever Held In The
Slate ot Michigan
City Of Flint Paid Tribute To
The Chevrolet Motor do.
Flint, Mich., Oct. 29 ? With the
largest banquet ever held in Michi
gan, the city of Flint paid tribute to
the Chevrolet Motor Company and
the executives who have piloted it to
Its position of leadership in the auto
motive industry.
Honoring especially M. E. Coyle,
president and general manager of
Chevrolet, and W. E. Holler, vice pres
ident and general sales manager, and
* timed on the eve of the presenta
tions of the company's new 1936 mod
els, the appreciation dinner had 2600
guests, including William S. Knud
sen, executive vice president of Gen
eral Motors Corporation; six other
members of the executive committee
of the corporation, and the entire
Chevrolet executive personnel.
Flint, virtually the birthplace of
Chevrolet, seat of the company's
main motor-manufacturing plant, and
employing the highest number of
workers engaged in any General Mo
tors single operation, welcomed Chev
rolet into its industrial life in Au
gust, 1913, when Detroit operations of
the company were temporarily dis
continued.
From a few hundred cars turned
out in the beginning with slightly
more than a thousand men, Chevro
let expanded meteorically as the au
tomobile entrenched itself in popular
favor, speakers felicitously recalled to
night.
In 1915, the Flint plant produced
6,106 cars; in 1928, when Chevrolet's
total car production was 1,193,212, the
Flint assembly plant produced 129,
363 cars, peak motor production of
the Chevrolet plant at Flint, building
engines to supply all the company's
assembly plants throughout the coun
try, attained its peak record of 1,328,
605 in 1929.
The sentiment of the complimentary
dinner was expressed in an embossed
testimonial presented to Mr. Coyle by
the Flint Chamber of Commerce, the
sponsor of the dinner. It read as fol
lows:
"Flint is proud of its position as
the central manufacturing point in
the widespread operations of Chevro
let. Despite all obstacles, the company
has made a record of outstanding
achievement which this city can bet
ter recognize because of the resulting
benefits enjoyed here. Through the
Flint Chamber of Commerce at this
civic testimonial dinner, Flint ex
presses deep appreciation to Mr. M.
E. Colye, president and general man
ager, and to his executive staff and
the entire organization for the contri
bution they have made to the city,
ftate and national well-being."
"What has been done inspires con
fidence in even greater acomplish
ment, and in conveying its best wish
es for the future, Flint is conscious
of the mutuality of its relationship
with Chevrolet and pledges its full
est cooperation toward its happy and
fruitful continuance."
M. A. Gorman, editor of the Flint
Journal, was dinner toastmaster.
A post-speaking feature was - the
presentation of a special program by
Rubinoff and his violin and his com
plete orchestra, who recently made
their debut in Chevrolet's new weekly
coast-to-coast network broadcast. The
radio virtuoso was supported by Jan
Peerce, tenor; Virginia Rea, colora
tura Soprano, and Graham McNamee
as master of ceremonies.
The auditorium of the Industrial
Mutual Association, where the dinner
was held, was inadequate to accom
modate all those seeking reserva
tions, despite the terracing of four
extra rows of tables in the balcony.
Among notables at the dinner were
Donaldson Brown, John L". Pratt, C.
E. Wilson, R. H. Grant, O. E. Hunt
and Albert Bradley, of the executive
committee of General Motors Corpor
ation; W. A. Fisher, E. P. Fisher and
Thomas P. Archer, of Fisher Body
Corporation; H. H. Curtice, president
of Buick Motor Company; A. J. Fish
er of the General Motors Corporation
executive staff at Detroit and F. S
Kimmerling, president of AC Spark
Plug Company.
In preparation fbr increased pro
duction for 1936, Chevrolet has ex
panded and re-equipped its Flint
manufacturing and assembly plants
which received a large share of the
$25,000,000 that the company has
spent on its nation-wide facilities to
increase its production capacity by
25 per cent.

If yt\i had any business "about town"
Monday you sure had a hard time
in getting around, the warehouses
were full to overflowing with tobac
co, the alleys, yea, and Main street
were full of trucks and wagons, and
the stores were full of folks buying
such things as they needed. Yes, it
was a busy day for every one, and
the hearts of the farmers were made
glad at the prices they received for
their tobacco. The market averaged
$26.57 ? not abiout, or estimated, but
by actual figures, and that was a
mighty good average.
? ? ?
Inspector No. 2 was here the first
of the week looking over the sites of
fered for that post office building.
Uncle Sam may make a mistake in
locating the post office building, but
if he dpes it will not be because he
and his inspectors have not given the
matter due consideration.

Business is certainly good in this
town, practically all of the merchants
have to put on extra clerks, and then
it is sometimes hard to get waited on
in some of the stores ? usually those
who use our columns liberally. A hint
to the wise is sufficient ? Just phone
for our advertising man, he will fix
it up for you.
* * ?
Roxboro may not be on the map,
but she is sure on the air; listen In
on WPTF on Monday, Wednesday
and Friday, at 12:30 p. m. and hear
what the old town is doing.
? ? ?
Why haul your tobacco 30 or 40
miles when you can get just as much,
possibly more, right here at home.
Hav? you seen any better average
than that made here Monday?

Dr. Tucker says he is utterly dis
gusted with mankind generally. Even
his good friend, Jim Walker, has de
serted him. Dock says he counted on
Jim as being the soul of honor, and
now he has fallen a victim to the
wiles of woman.

Judge L. M. Carlton Addresses
Chapel Session Tuesday
Mr. L. M. Carlton spoke to the High
School at the chapel period on Tues
day morning. Mr. Carlton's message
is the third along the line of voca
tional guidance, which have been giv
en here this year. He spoke on his
own profession, that of being a law
yer. His talk was very instructive and
the students showed a great deal of
interest. After finishing his talk, Mr.
Carlton asked for any question on
the subject. An Interesting discussion
followed. We hope that Mr. Carlton
will be with ub again soon.

FUNCTIONS
The newly formed Social Security
Board headed by former Governor
John O. Winnant, which was unable
to function on account of having no
appropriation, has at last been given
a temporary drawing account. Comp
troller General McCarl has approved
an allotment of $12,610 from the Pub
lic Works and Relief Fund. This will
start the Board's work but is a long
way from the 76 million dollars ap
propriated for its acuvltles under the
Third Deficiency Appropriation Bill.
