Sightseeing Expedition Under tion of Chamber of Commerce Proves Successful.

"Studebaker Day" will be made monthly affair. This decision was reached yesterday afternoon by the directors of the of Commerce when it. was seen that the citizens of South Bend are awakening to the fact that there is something more than words connected with the loudly extension at the plant of the Studebaker corporation. "All we need to do it to let the people see for said a member of the housing committee, after the sight seeing expedition Wednesday afternoon, "and the gigantic scope of the work as atready shown in process of construction will dispell all doubts from their minds and spur them to action. The Studebaker corporation means bueiness and is utilizing all its forces great expansion.

Its progress, however, depends largely upon the support given by the citizens of South Bend. We cannot afford to retard the work of construction by unpreparedness, so we believe that if we can get the doubting Thomases to pay visit to the scene of activity they will enter into the spirit of the thing and lend a hand in meeting Soutly Bend's needs." Fully 400 people joined the line of march led by 'the K. of P. band and visited the plant. They were divided into groups shown points of interest around the construction area.

They later assembled in one of the buildings lately used for the manufacture of munitions, listened to brief addresses by Mayor Franklin R. Carson and A. R. Erskine, president of the corporation.

Erskine outlined the plans of the corporation in detail, explaining that the company Ira3 placed its faith in South Bend. and is proceeding in the belief that the citizens will do their share. "Our expansion plans at present call for an outlay of $20,000,000," he said, "and we expect to see them realized within the next five years. The expenditure of $8,500,000 on our plant here during the present year is only a small portion of our project in expanding our automobile manufacturing plant here. If we are.

given the proper -cooperation by South Bend we will spend three times that amount in short length of time, which means that the city will more than double it; population." LOCAL SOLDIERS RETURN.
