1 WW
Flays Talk
Of Closing
Down Plant
. Suteinua Nfwi Servlr
; DALLAS, Feb. 20-An opti
mistic future for GrrliiiRer
Carrier Co. operations in Dal
las Va seen luTe by C. E.
(Ed) Smith, Cleveland, Ohio,
president, of Towmotor Corp.
and chairman of the Cerlingcr
. board of directors.
During a four day visit here, he
also discounted rumors arising
from a slowdown of production at
the Dallas plant during the win
- tef.
"We have nn Intention of shut
tins down or of moving the, plant,"
Smith said. "On the contrary we
hope to supplement its operations."
froducthm Switch
Reported underway were plans
Jo make some Gerlinger lift trucks
at Cleveland, balancing production
JL.. between the east and west plants.
It is also planned to assemble
and produce some models of Tow
motor lift trucks here.
These measures would facilitate
'supplying outlets in the west with
Towmotor and in the east with
Cerlingcr.
. Smith explained that Gerlinger
carriers and trucks begin where
Towmotor leaves off. Towmotor
makes trucks to handle from 1000
to 15,000 pounds. '
Lumber Lag Cited '
In a joint statement. Smith and
V. 0. Williams, Cerlingcr presi
dent, declared that a winter lag in
the lumber and wood products in
dustries has been a major factor
in the carrier company slowdown.
"However, we see evidence for
optimism in the proposals for or
' ders that are reaching us daily,"
Williams added.
. One of the reasons it has been
necessary to curtail operations to
a three-day week is the problem
of adjustment that followed com
bining the two companies, the exe
cutives said.
New Outlets
In the reorganization Gerlinger
has 18 new sales outlets. Smith
said that there is every reason to
believe that their work will recult
in an increase in production as
soon as they can become thorough
' ly acquainted with Gerlinger pro
ducts and reach the continuously,
widening market.
Smith said that the fine accept
ance of Gerlinger carriers and
trucks throughout the country is
one reason lowmoior sougni ine
Gerlinger purchase.
He declared that there is a big
niaifcci ui inc uiuuauuu cast tu uc
developed for Gerlinger equip--ment.
By increasing outlets and
establishing a major Gerlinger de
pot at the Cleveland plant, it is
hoped to ttabiliie production. The
firms also expect to gain some
freight and cost advantages.
Leaf Nefatlatiaas '
Towmotor had been negotiating
with Gerlinger for nearly four
years before the purchase was
consummated last year. Smith
laid. The operation here meets
their need for a plant on the West
Coast
