  The Rev. C. H. dudley gave a very fitting address and "The Star Spangled Banner" was sung as the new flag waved from its forty foot pole in front of the factory.
  During the whole day, the factory made spic and span for callers was the scene of lively interest.  Led by employers who explained the manufacture of the cars, groups were shown the electrically driven machinery, heating plant, and ample store rooms.  Six great cars in the process of construction stood in one large well lighted room, each car in front of a doorway large enough to let out a finished product.
  A completed car ready to send to Miami, Fla., stood in the yard and lady visitors were exclaiming over the conveniently arranged interior.  A double, nickel plated coffee urn, a nickel cream container, roomy ice box and plenty of cupboard and drawer room were all a delight to a housekeeper.  The outside of the car was cream colored enamel over sheet iron.
  This factory which was just beginning its existence a year ago when three cars were built at the rear of the Peter Kofoed shop on Central avenue, has increased so fast that their output is a car a week now and orders are ahead of that.  In the spring, they will erect another large building on the lot and the payroll will have fifty names not counting office force.
  The employees gave a dinner at six o'clock at the Hotel Powers with the employers as guest.  A six piece orchestra was present and covers were laid for forty-two.  There were many impromptu speaches expressing faith in the future of what a sign painter in the factory termed, "The Pride of Silver Creek."
  The evening was spent at the Geitner Theatre where the picture "The Ten Commandments" was showing.
