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.
