plants throughout the country.
W. R. Knudsen, president and
general manager, estimates tTint
within the next month and a hnif
tho actual factory working , force
will have been augmented npprox-
imatoly 40 per cent.
"Whereas tlie sale of tlie mnv
Chevrolet is pushing us to our
capacity to. fill orders, -wo are not
expanding our working force any
more quickly than we can absorb
them," explains Mr. Knudsen.
"When going Into production with
a new model made from new tools
it Js Important that the entire
job be co-ordlnntod carefully o
as to give tho higb-grndo result
expected by the buying public now
ns never before.
"Hnpplly, however, expansion of
