+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | 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. | | | | [Illustration: A VIEW OF ONE OF THE WARDS] | | | | MICHELIN & Cie., Clermont-Ferrand, France. | | | | MICHELIN TYRE Co., Ltd., 81, Fulham Road, | | | | London, S.
