the fire and that he had to break ^a
glass in one of the doors in order to
escape from rjthe burning machine.

Detroit, Mich., Dec. 14, 1920.
W. P. Franklin,
Barnwell, S. C.
Knowing that each member of our organization
will wish a word from us at this time and as an ac-
knowledgment of the messages of sympathy and
loyalty received from every one, we wish to say
that the founders of the busniness built it on such
a rockbed foundation of honest integrity and good
will that not even the passing of our dear President,
Mr. Horace E. Dodge, will in the slightest degree
affect the continuity or policies of the business. In
faithful accord with his wish, every policy and
principle around which the business has grown
will continue to dominate it for all time, and under
thd express authority of the owners of the business
we wish to say there will be no pause nor hesitation.
The business will be continued as John and Horace
Dodge had planned. The plant goes^on. *
