+ In discussing the tire question yesterday. which

The question Of rims for automobile tires Is a
nost important item. Until few years ago there
vas uncertainty in the minds Of many TO
s-hetfer the pneumatic tire substantially in its
present form, had TO stay. or. on the other
ssnd. whether il would be superseded by something
adicaily different. HIOw the practical men Of the
industry give little heed and waste time on the

automobiles now in use the pneumatic tire is
evidently the means par excellence Of supporting

Ehe case OF the large, heavy automobile tire this
after various vicissitudes has settled down the
preston Of quickly removing the tire and repair

auckly removing tires or rims and replacing and
