WHEELER-OSGOOD CO. TURNS OUT 2,OOO,OOOth PORTAL SINCE JANUARY 1

Tacoma, Dec. 16.-T.wo million doors have been made since January 1 of this year by the Wheeler-Osgood Company of this city, the largest manufacturer of doors in the world. The 2,00o,000th door was turn.ed out Monday afternoon at the company's plant on the tide flats.

Big ocean liners are carrying these doors to all parts of the globe-Liverpool, Yokohama, Bangkok, Miami, Calcutta. Somewhere is a blushing bride who soon may be swinging this 2,000,000th door as she rushes to her kitchen to see whether the biscuits are burning.

Who this girl may be is bringing forth many guesses from Miss Mildred Rogers of the Wheeler-Osgood Company advertising departm,ent. She is very curious to know who will be mistress of this particular door.

Miss Rogers has been doing a great deal of figuring, and some of the results of her efforts follow:

Two million doors piled flat would stand thirty-three miles high, or nearly equal to th,e distance from Tacoma to Seattle. If stretched end to end they would rcach 2,462 miles from Tacoma to Fort Wayne, Ind.

With the capacity of a freight car limited to 1,000 doors, it would require 2,000 cars, or 400 trains of fifty cars each, to haul the doors awa5r.

If all the lumber for the 2,000,000 doors were taken from one tree, it would require a monarch of the forest 1,003 miles high. Should this tree be felled in Tacoma, the top would crash through the roofs in Billings, Mont.
