MICHELIN DURING THE WAR

THE MICHELIN HOSPITAL

When the Great War broke out, Michelin at once converted an immense new four-storied warehouse into an up-to-date Hospital, with Operating Theatre, X-Ray, Bacteriological Laboratory, etc. Seven weeks later (September 22, 1914) Doctors, Dispensers, Nurses, Sisters of Mercy, and auxiliaries were all at their posts. The first wounded arrived the same night. In all, 2,993 wounded were received.

All expenses were paid by Michelin.

The story of how Michelin did "his bit" during the war is told briefly and simply in the illustrated booklet, "The Michelin Hospital", sent post free on application.

Transcriber's Notes.
1. Italic text is denoted by _underscores_ and bold text by
=equal signs=.
2. Silently corrected simple spelling, grammar, and typographical
errors.
3. Page 24: Illustration caption should read "General Rawlinson".
Caption corrected.
4. Page 96: The original reads "The Liberation [on] Montdidier.
(_August 8-10, 1918._)." This is probably an error and should read
"The Liberation [of] Montdidier. (_August 8-10, 1918._)."
Text not changed.
