“The decision to go ahead with
this major building program re- •
flects the confidence we have not
only in the future of Dearborn

direction of Ralph E. Hunt,
manager of Dearborn’s engineer
ing and manufacturing division.
‘The Dearborn engineering and

made noteworthy progress in in
troducing precision manufactur
ing and high standards of quality
control in the production of our
farm machinery,” Pierce said.
“Likewise considerable work has
been done to widen the applica
tions of existing farm implements,
and to develop power applications
for farm jobs that are not yet
mechanized.
The firm’s testing farm, Deer
Lake Hills Farm, Clarkston, will
continue to play an important
part in product field testing op
erations. Also, Dearborn Motors
Testing Corporation will continue
to use testing areas in various
sections of the country with vary
ing climatic and soil conditions.
Simultaneously with the an
nouncement of Dearborn’s build
ing program, i was revealed that

600 new buildings, and moderniz
ed 500 more.

vation, planting and harvesting,
and special equipmnt for soil con
