In llloklng public the details of this no tibia expansion, Basset said: t "Although we built more than 300.000 automobiles during the cal endar year of 1923. we found this record-breaking number Insuffieent to supply the demand for Buick cars. That demand continues, and to meet It we are considerably ex tending our facilities." :'j Htorago Building Heady. si Already nearing completion is a stock storage building 1064x63 feet; also 41,000 square feet added to the gray Iron foundry; 8000 square feet to the forge shops and increased lumber-drying facilities for the body shop. , .
