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.
