National Defense Day At Buick.

Flag raising at factory #11.













This story in the Buick factory paper from September 5, 1924 explains the "Old Glory" gathering shown below.









In this photo taken from the roof of the Union Industrial Bank you can see first, the old factory #4 W.F. Stewart plant. Then farther east is the #08 garage. You can see that they had built temporary bleachers and speakers podium for a big event.
