Ann Arbor Merchants Get
Large Volume Of Trade
Fron Factory Pay Roll
By STAN SWINTON
and DICK MANN
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the secondj
in a series of articles on Ann Arbor's
industries prepared by the city staff
of The Daily).S
Geographically the automotive cen-
ter of the world, Ann Arbor haS at-
tracted a number of companies allied
with that industry. The largest and'
most important of these is the King
Seeley Corporation.
Started 18 years ago by H. H. Seeley
end Prof. Horace Kjjng of the College
of Engineering the firm originally
produced a hydrostatic gas gauge
which Professor King had developed.
Its growth since that time has been
rapid; at the present time it em-
ploys 1,200 persons, two thirds of that
number being women.
Drawing its workers mainly from
this city with some nearby small
towns contributing a share, Ann Ar-
bor is the shopping center where the
firm's payroll is chiefly spent. Local
merchants, one factory official point-
ed out,. can tell immediately by the
volume of their business whether the
plant is operating at capacity or not.
At the present time 15- Michigan
graduates are employed by King
Seeley. Employment of students at-
tending Michigan is negligible, hav-
ing proven unsatisfactory. The com-
pany does a small portion of its re-
search through the University but
most of it is accomplished by its own
research workers.
An electric gauge has superseded

King Seeley's original product and at;
present temperature, oil and gas ,
gauges as well as decorative panels
which house these instruments are
the chief products manufactured, be-
ing furnished to many of the large
automobile manufacturers.
Because "a company which does
not expand must shrink," King Seeley
is continually striving for future
growth under its president and gen-
eral manager, former Prof. John
Airey-a growth considered import-
ant to the city of Ann Arbor by those
who study its urban function.
DAILY OFFICIAL
BULLETIN

By KAY SCHULTZ
America has much to learn from
the more progressive European mu-
seums in regard to modern methods
of exhibition, according to Mr. Fred-
rick R. Matson, research assistant in
the Museum of Anthropology.
Mr. Matson has spent the last seven
months studying comparative ma-
terial in .the, outstanding museums, of
Europe. He visited Palestine, Greece,
Rome, Florence, Stockholm, Berlin,
Lcndon and Paris. He found the most
modern methods of display in use in
Stolckholm where a new technical
museum has just been completed. In-
direct lighting has entirely replaced
daylight in these exhibit rooms and
thus the fading of valuable material
has been prevented. Another feature
of this museum described by Mr.

Matson is an extremely large elevator
which is used as a lecture room.
Berlin museums are using cases
made entirely of glass sheets glued
together without steel or wood rein-
forcements, Mr. Matson said. He also
described a Munich museum display-
ing marionette silhouettes -and an-
other Continental museum in which
the rooms are painted in various col-
ors to blend and contrast with the ex-
hibits.
Many museums are making a defi-
nite attempt to gain the interest of
local citizens and to solicit more than
just the international tourist trade.
according to Mr. Matson, who said
that extensive use is also being made
of study collections particularly to aid
students rather than the public in
general.

interpreters and taken to the zooR s
