On July 1, 1911, Dodgo Brothers were completing tholr last contract as manufacturers of automobile parts. Tho first Dodge Brothors motor car had not yot boon built. On July 1, 1920, a great crowd of workmen assembled within tho gates of the factory and lot looso a mighty cheer as a gllatonlng now roadster was swung into position an n high platform adorned with flowors and American flags. It was Dodgo Brothorg motor car No. r.00,000. Production has attained tho half million mark within G7 months after tho first car was put on tho market. It was an achievement without par allel In tho automobilo Industry and was accordingly mado tho occasion of a fitting colobratlon. Dodgo Brothers' Band played a special concort, and F. Haynos, vico-prosldent nnd goneral manager dellvorcd an address. Tito car was decorated with an Immense floral wreath and abovo It hung a bannor bearing tho fallowing words: r00,000 In 07 Months. This unparalleled achievement wns mado possible because of tho splendid work of Dodgo Brothers" organization, which moans every man in tho plant. General announcement of production of COO.OOO cars was withhold pending a nation wide advertising campaign in which billboards and newspapers carried only tho word "Ono Half Million." All theso advertisements havo now been chnnged to read "One Half Million Dodgo Brothers Motor Cars." In his address to tho employees. Mr. Ilnynos commended them on tho loy alty and diligence that had mado tho record posslblo and related some interesting facts pertaining to tho early history and growth of tho insti tution. On December 1, 1911, whon tho first car loft tho factory for tho world mar ket, Dodgo Brothers works comprised Httlo moro than 20 square acres of floor space. Now the acreage has risen to 100 and additions under construc tion will soon bring it well nbovo 120. Instead of a few thousand workmen, tho plant now employs moro than 22,000 men with families representing' fives times that number. "Last month you built and shipped over sixty times ns many cars as you built in December 1914," Mr. Haynns Bald. "Tho car was designed on hou osty, was built on honesty and was marketed on honesty, and that i3 why It' has been a success. You bullded better than you know. You built a plant that cannot stop It lias got' to go on forover." Cnr No. 500,000 was completed on tho afternoon of Juno 30th nnd held for tho ceremonies tho" following noon.
