Charlotte Observer
The Ford assembly plant here, which has been closed for nearly a month, will be opened for operation as parts are received, opening today for the assembly of trucks, it was announced last night by F.A. Atchison, manager.
Other departments will be opened as the parts to be assembled arrive, probably others this week and early next week. The truck department opening today employs about 200 of the 900 to 1,000 regular employes, Mr. Atchison said.
Nothing definite has been said yet as to the rumors of changes in the style of the Ford, which is said to be an improvement in many respects over the present Ford, nor of the reports current that the close down was made for the purpose of shifting from the old to the new models.
Ford plants at Newark and Norfolk have also been closed down entirely or practically idle for the past few weeks, according to news stories carried from those cities about two weeks ago.
