started his ginger ale concern at
the present location. Distribution
of the product has now spread to
many distant cities.
James Vernor, son of the foun-
der and now president of the
company, will be host at a unique
banquet to be given next Tuesday
evening at the Book Cadillac Ho-
tel. He has invited as his guests
all native Detroiters who are 75
years old or older. Invitations have
been mailed to 175 persons who
were inhabitants of the Detroit
of 1866, then a city of 55,000
population.
Oening of "Vernon Block,"
plant of the James Vernon Com-
pany, foot of Woodward Avenue,
will take place Wednesday during
"Open House."
The Vernor Company has taken
over all buildings in the block
bounded by Woodward, Atwater,
Griswold, and Woodbridge. This
includes a 10-story building which
has been remodeled up to the third
floor with an all-macotta front and
large plate glass show windows,
through which can be seen the
bottling equipment. It is said to
be the most modern and sanitary
bottling works in the country.
It is an interesting fact that
this equipment will sterilize, rinse,
dry, fill, and cap more bottles per
minute than could the original
bottling equipment (installed in
the adjacent building in 1896)
in a full day.
The interior first floor of the
new Vernon building will be en-
tirely reconditioned with Ceramic
glazed tile walls, quarry tile
floors, and plastic ceilings. Plate
glass and stainless steel parti-
tions will separate the dust-tight
and air-tight bottling works from
the visiting public.

Jewish Veterans
Aid Selectees
The Detroit Ladies' Auxiliary
No. 135 of Jewish War Veterans
of the United States has issued an
appeal in behalf of the Selectees
stationed at Fort Wayne Military
Reservation, Detroit, for six loung-
ing chairs to be placed in their
Post's recretation room.
"It is our duty to furnish any
needs for these men who are
serving our country, especially
when it is for their enjoyment
and comfort of home atmosphere
in strange surroundings," Mrs.
Rose Cowan, president, states.
"Please survey your home and
carry this message to your friends
for an immediate response. Mem-
bers of the activities committee,
Mrs. Harry Niman, Townsend
5-4958; Mrs. Sarah Schwartz, Ty-
ler 6-0495, and Mrs. Harry Tel-
ler, Tyler 6-6352; are awaiting
your phone call.
"To further substantiate the
appreciation of these soldiers, we
are publishing for your knowledge
a letter recently received from
them, which is in reference to the
party of the Detroit Ladies' Auxil-
iary and Detroit Post No. 135,
Jewish War Veterans of the Uni-
ted States, sponsored at Fort
Wayne on May 28, at which affair
refreshments were served, danc-
ing partners furnished and dance
music by LeRoy Smith WPA or-
chestra, donation of books for
their library, decorations of
streamers and banner for the
newly elected gymnasium and 19
pairs of baseball shoes and socks
for the team."
The letter, addressed to Mrs.
Cowan by Lieut. George F. Resh,
of the Detachment Quartermas-
ters Corps of Fort Wayne, states
in part:
"With conditions of expansion
and circumstances such as now
exist altering all former propor-
tion and conceptions of army life,
one of the most difficult factors
with which officers are faced is
the morale of troops. It is very
difficult to achieve morale with-
out necessary recreational facili-
ties, for which unfortunately the
average company is ill-equipped
from the financial standpoint.
"Fortunately, however, indivi-
duals and groups of civilians have
seen fit at various times to aid
us in some small undertaking. It
has never been the pleasure how-
ever of this organization to re-
ceive such a tremendous response
as was afforded by the opportun-
ity of having your organization
sponsor what to us will always
linger in our memories as the
finest entertainment provided by
any individual or organization to
date."
