Show MAXWELL FACTORIES BREAKING RECORDS Company Turns Out 532 Cars for Shipment in a Single Day. The Maxwell Motor company, inc., ! broke all its records for production when 532 cars were turned out of its big Detroit plant on Saturday, August 2G. While this is the biggest day the company has ever experienced in tlie volume of its output of automobiles, it exceeded the day previous by only a slight margin. On Friday, August 23, 501 automobiles were turned out of the Detroit factory. This is only'au indication of the great volume of business that is being done bv the Maxwell company. There has been an increase of 100 per cent in the daily output of the company. The average av-erage production. at the Oakland avenue plant m Detroit is now 400 ears, a day, and has been for the last month. A year ago the average was only 200 cars a day. A great increase in the demand for Maxwell cars followed the generous reduction re-duction in prices on the touring car and roadster that became effective July 1 last and that the factories are able to meet the demand is due to the fact that increased manufacturing facilities have recently been installed. All Maxwell cars are assembled in the plant at Detroit, while most of the parts are manufactured in the company's factories fac-tories at Dayton, Ohio, and Newcastle, Iud. Tlie factories at Dayton and Newcastle New-castle are now supplying the Detroit plant with 400 complete units every day. The recent addition of a new progressive progres-sive assemblv track and a new body assembly as-sembly track has enabled the Detroit factory to turn out cars at an increased speed. There are now two progressive assembly tracks and two body tracks, where before thero was only one of each. i About 120,000 cars will be turned out of the Maxwell factories this year. Approximately Ap-proximately ti 0,0i.)0 car? were manufactured manufac-tured last year and the increased production pro-duction is ample evidence of the growing grow-ing popularity of the Maxwell product. Most of the cars turned out in the two banner production days were touring tour-ing cars and roadsters, although a number num-ber of the inclosed types put out by the Maxwell were included in the allotment. |
