PART ONE THE DETROIT FREE PRESS SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1939 'An Institution Is the Lengthened Shadow Students Help Reward Finds Amo Brothers Still Unselfish TodayHarvey C. Fruefiauf Whether the S100 reward which Alfred and Clifford Amo received for returning $674 to John Gronik, coal merchant, was split 50-50 or whether it was all given to Alfred, remained a secret among themselves Saturday, but the tale of the valuable "coal sandwich" which wound up Friday night with a story-book ending was still th subject of conversation in two households. A week ago Gronik, fearing that the two men who appeared at his coal company at 17366 Francis, Melvindale, were holdup men, hid the money in his possession between two packages of coal. The "holdup men" asked for 50 packages of coal, paid their money and drove off, taking with them the S674 neatly tucked between two of the packages. When Gronik discovered his horrible mistake, he reported It to police and the Free Press printed the story.

Friday night the nigh-onto-lm-possible happened and his J874 was returned Intact Gronik cheerfully handed over the J100 reward he had promised and considered himself more than fortunate. The Amo brothers, Alfred, a polisher at the Packard Motor Plant, and Clifford, who has been unemployed since June, admitted that they didn't know what to do about the reward. Alfred wanted to split the reward, but Cliff, at last reports, 1 -V '): e- MMHMHHMtouk In Pointe Play JOHN HUNTER FRANCES FRFJWALD "The Perfect Alibi," a mystery play, will be presented at 8:15 p. m.

I of One an This is the first nf ounoay trades on Detroit men wao, wnn tutu and Ubor, have built an idea intn an imni business-. The second article will viier in next Sundays Free By Ray Pearson An owner of a smalt facturing concern appeared at a blacksmith and wagon shop about 25 years ago in Detroit.

He was in me marKet lor a new wagon and had been discussing prices oi me owner when uus iauer arrived at the shoo. What do you think, August," the manufacturer exclaimed. "Your boy wants me to buy two wagons when all I have is one team oi norses." The two laughed heartily. "But I can Drove to vnn tr" insisted the son, "that it is cheaper iur you io Duy iwo wagons than just one. I'll do better than that I will show you that you'll not oniy save money but will show profit as well." Manufacturer Is Impressed The manufacturer was im pressed.

At least, the prospect of more profits was an appeal that hit home. "To tell you the truth," he said. "It won't be lone before we have to get another team of horses. Deliveries are falling a little behind. But it is out of the question now.

I simply can't afford the added expense. "That," said the blacksmith's son, "is what I wanted to explain. With my idea you won't have to buy an extra team. "Now when your driver comes back, he has to wait around until the wagon is loaded up again. He wastes several hours a day just waiung, ana the team stands around as well.

Proposes Time-Saving Plan If you will let us make vou two wagons, or one wagon and an extra trailer, then your men can be loading one while the other is out making deliveries. "When the team comes back. the driver just hooks on the second load and drives away again witnoui any lost time." "Well, August," the mariufae turer said to the blacksmith, "1 guess we laughed too soon." The order was placed. Dozens of others followed. Demand for the trailers grew and the little Blacksmith shop, under the direction of Harvey C.

Fruehauf. the blacksmith's son, expanded until in 1937 more than Jll.000,000 worth of trailers had been sold in a twelve-month period. Started Work as Helper Harvey C. Fruehauf, born in Grosse Pointe Park In 1893, began as a helper in his father's shop. He worked 10 hours daily for 50 cents a day.

It was hard work. The heat in the summer was blistering, but he stuck it out and won. Harvey's father was a congenial, easy-going man who sang at his job and took work only as it came along. He was happy. For Harvey, those days were happy, too.

But he differed from his father in that he refused to emain contented. When business didn't come in, young Harvey went out after It. That first year with his dad, Harvey built the business to a point where it showed a greater profit than the elder Fruehauf had managed in a dozen years combined. More than We Can Do' Many times the father would say to the son, "Why don't you Charity Drive First Report from Schools Awaited Five thousand campaigners for the Detroit Community Fund will begin the second week of the drive Monday, with the obligation to obtain more than 51 per cent of last year's $2,220,000 total, which is being used as a measuring stick, and not as a goal.

778S 1 Reading Favor to Firm Bared D.S.R. Parts Bought at Higher Price Ford bus and auto replacement parts for the D.S.R. were bought from one concern on the orders of Mayor Reading, Fred A. Nolan, general manager, said Saturday. He expressed surprise that the City Purchasing Department was buying parts at a price 3 per cent below that paid at the concern favored by the Mayor.

The City buys parts from numerous Ford dealers, getting them at the 30 per cent discount price offered by dealers to the City, plus a 3 per cent discount for payment in 30 days. Nolan said that Mayor Reading, shortly after he took office, had designated George Holzbaugh, as the firm to get the parts business. The Hettche Motor Sales had been setting the business. Reading explained that he had asked Hettche for support in his campaign for election, but that Hettche had said he was obligated to support John W. Smith, who was eliminated in the primary.

Reading said that he had bought a car from Holzgaubh, had found him to be a very "decent sort," and suggested that he get the parts business. The Mayor, However, said mat he did this only on the assump tion that all Ford dealers supplied Identical parts at identical prices. 19GroupstoHold Hospital Meetings Mah-jongg and bridge games will be followed by tea at 19 group meetings arranged by the Mount Sinai Hospital Association for 2 p. m.

Then came the automobile, and with it the truck. "What are you going to do when people no longer use horses?" friends taunted Harvey. "I'll show you," said Harvey. And he did. The Fruehauf truck trailer was his answer.

The added payload possibility appealed to many truck owners. Trucks cost more than horses and the argument of keeping them busy carried that much more weight. Trailer Business Grows So, as the wagon business slumped, the truck-trailer business grew. Today the firm has a dozen branches and is one of the largest of its kind In the world. If one had the impression that its president were sitting back and coasting, he would be wrong.

Harvey Fruehauf is still plugging for business. A little story illustrates the point The trucking industry recently held its convention in Detroit. One of the biggest users of furniture vans in the country, also one of the best customers of the Fruehauf firm, had failed to put an entry in competition. The officials of this client com pany were surprised to receive a telegram from the parade com mittee congratulating them on vClnnlng first prize. New Design Is Hailed Not only that but the com mittee's telegram went on to say that their entry was a revelation in design and capacity and in keeping with their leadership in that particular field.

Fruehauf had secretly designed and built a special truck and trailer for his client It was the result of a study of what he 1,000 as many as are allowed together. These flocks are scattered on a number of farms around Beulah. Keeping the flocks small and separated lessens the danger of heavy loss in case some turkey'' disease becomes epidemic. Each flock Is handled about the same way and gets the same bountiful supply of feed. A turkey, by the way, gets away with about 80 pounds of feed before he is big enough to make a dinner for you.

Things Speed Up Things are beginning to get brisk on the turkey farms now, as the growers prepare the birds for the November holiday. Then, after a little spell, the Christmas rush begins. After that's over there won't be much left of the turkey flocks, merely 1,000 held over for breeding next year's Thanksgiving Day dinners. Gourmets who swear that turkeys are best if they are of a certain size don't get much help from the Marshalls. "It's all a matter of says Don Marshall.

"Same is true of hens and toms. It's all a matter of opinion." (See Pictures on Page 4, Rotogravure section of this edition of the Free Press.) Just 10 Dayt Till Thanksgiving!

Construction work was underway Saturday on the new J100.000 Seventh Church of Christ, Scientist, on W. Grand Blvd. near Lafayette. The project was made possible by the congregation's share of a gift two years ago from Mrs. Horace H.

Rackham, which was to be divided among the eight ChriS' tian Science churches then in De troit, and which was reported to have totaled 11,000,000. The Seventh Church has never had a building of its own, and the congregation -has been using Western High School. An unusual feature of the new church will be a circular auditorium. It will seat 500 persons. The building will be ready next spring.

It will have air-conditioning and amplifying systems, and will be constructed of face brick trimmed with stone. The elliptical foyer will be' under the auditorium, and between one-story projecting wings containing the reading room and board room. Around the circular auditorium a colonnade will give access to its side and center aisles. Jap-Soviet Board to Define Border MOSCOW. Nov.
