Edyth K. Thomas Memorial Hospital was founded in June of 1937 and is lovingly dedicated to the memory of Edyth K. Thomass, deceased daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Alf E. Thomas.
The institution consists of two buildings and is located at 556 E. Garfield Avenue. The first edifice is a three-story structure with a bed capacity of fifty.
...
The second edifice was erected in December of 1937 exclusively for the care of surgical cases. It consists of a ground floor and a clinic upstairs. ... The clinic is managed by one of our most promising of the younger surgeons, Dr. Stanton.
[p. 11]
The staff consists of thirty active members and thirty-three consultants, the medical director and vice-president of the organization, Dr. Alf E. Thomas Jr., who recently graduated from Meharry Medical College, class of 1937; this young man obtained his internship experience at Eloise Hospital and is now an enterprising aspirant for surgical honors in the realm of operative therapeusis.

WESTERN UNION MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
The Western Union Mutual Insurance Company is organized under the laws of the State of Michigan, and is under the supervision of the Insurance Department of the State.
The Company writes insurance on the weekly or industrial plan and makes prompt payment of all just claims.
Notwithstanding the fact that it had the advantage of some considerable pre-organization work, the Western Union Mutual Insurance Company has established a creditable record. For instance, it issued more than a million dollars worth of insurance in less than four months. It also wrote policies on more than five thousand persons on the same length of time.
Each considerable increase in the number of our policy holders, enables us to increase the number of those we employ.
Offers opportunities for employment to intelligent and determined men and women.

MID-WEST COUNTRY CLUB
Besides the modern, well equipped hospital described on the proceeding pages, Dr. Alf E. Thomas is also sole owner of one of the most beautiful lake resorts in this country. This resort nationally known as the Mid-West Country Club, comprising a total acreage of one hundred and twenty acres. It half surrounds one of the most beautiful and picturesque lakes in Michigan. The Little Pleasant Lake, which is situated on U.S. Route 12, approximately sixty miles from the City of Detroit.
Dr. Thomas maintains a modern and spacious hotel with forty private rooms, besides a beautiful club house with facilities for dining, dancing and gaming. Both of these buildings are of the most modern construction and overlook the lake. One can sit on the wide sweeping verandas and gaze at some of the most beautiful vistas that nature has to offer.
The resort is open to the public and is maintained at popular prices. Therefore many people frequent it and it has been the scene of many delightful parties and week-ends.
Dr. Thomas has built for himself on this estate one of the loveliest country homes in the country. He has cultivated one of the most bountiful truck gardens and an orchard of more than a thousand various fruit trees. The fruits of these trees are given away each year to the needy families and charity organizations each fall.
This property is under the personal supervision of Mr. Ernest Fisher who is the general property manager for Dr. Thomas.

Medical Progress in Detroit
In recognition of the dire need of our people for adequate
hospital facilities, our own Dr. Alf E. Thomas, conceived and executed the plans which led to the erection of the Bethesda Hospital in August of 1931 and the Edyth K. Thomas Memorial Hospital in June of 1937.
The side of the former institution is 544 E. Garfield Avenue; as a result of frequent building expansions, the Bethesda Hospital is now well equipped to care for eighty-three patients and is staffed by six physicians headed by Dr. Joe Thomas Jr. and twelve nurses.
...
Dr. Joe T. Thomas Jr., the medical director of this institution has had 7 years extensive training doing special work at Herman Kiefer Hospital in the modern treatment of tuberculosis.
[p.10]
...the indefatigable efforts of Miss Cassie Anderson, Supervisor of nurses and associates.
Edyth K. Thomas Memorial Hospital was founded in June of 1937 and is lovingly dedicated to the memory of Edyth K. Thomass, deceased daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Alf E. Thomas. The institution consists of two buildings and is located at 556 E. Garfield Avenue.
