| 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. |
