II is but little over two years and
a half ago that in a modest manner the
Durocar concern started in to manu-
facture pleasure cars. The utmost ca
pacity of the plant at that time was
one hundred cars year or a little over
an average of three cars for each ten
working days of the twelve months.
Such has been the character of the
product of the factory, that il came
into popular favor Immediately, and
from the meager beginning of but two

upward of l25 skilled mechanics and

HARRIS OILS DID 1T

There is a smile of satisfaction pre-
vailing in the house OF the Chanslor d
Lyon Motor Supply Company from the
heads of the concern to the sweeper
out. and pervades even to the steno-
graphic and bookkeeping department,
while the genial statesmen are in con-
tinual grin over the result of the races
on the indianapolis speedway, the past
three days.
The cause is not hard to find. Ad-
vices from the Speedway are, that the
winning cars were supplied with Har-
ris oils, and this to large extent
contributed undoubtedly to the success
of the winners, and the extraordinary
time made by even those who did not
come in first. but were recorded ON
the books as having also ran
Referring to Harris oils Bert Ding
lev, the we'll known automobile rae
ing driver and II. NJ. Hanshue anoth--
err both pulling down first prizes and
records of perfect scores at the recent
Santa Monica races, in voluntary let
ters to Chanslor & Lyon, assert that
the very question of selection OF a
lubricating oil by a driver is very
serious question and gives credit TO
the use of Harris oils for much of their
success"

REID PLANS TO RESTORE
AMERICAN FOOTBALL GAME
Is Urging Activity on Coast in Behalf
of Old Style of Play and is
Optimistic

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 21.-William
T. Reid, former Harvard football
coach, recently returned from the
east where he spent his summer vaca-
ton in and around Boston. The form
or crimson gridiron mentor who IS
head master of Belmont military acad-
envy. is very active in a movement to
restore American football on the Iar
coast.
Red. who is president of the recently
organized American Football associa-
ton. will call a meeting of that Or
ganiZation in the near future to ar
range plans for the coming season
When Reid left here the impression
prevailed that he went east to procure
coaches to direct the different nigh
school squads in their preparation for
the grldiron game, but nothing was
done i'm this direction. Such an ex-
pcnse could not be met by any of the
local schools. Although one or two
high schools have decided to play
Rugby in Red's absence, Belmont will
continue at the old game.

PNEUMATIC AUTOMOBILE
TIRES INVENTED IN 1845
First Used Successfully in 1895 by
Micheln-lmportanc Of Tires
in Speed Contests

The first pneumatic tire patent was
registered in England in 1S45 by R. w.
Thomson.
After many experiments with Thom-
sons aerial wheels" on all sorts of
horse drawn vehicles covering a period
of several years the invention fell into
complete oblivion, and it was not until
bicycles became an accomplished fact
that the pneumatic tire was relnVented'
If that word is permissoble, by Dunlop
in 1888. Their application to the bicycle
was not a complete success, however,
as their usefulness ended with the first
puncture. so it may be said that the
first satisfactory pneumatic was that
introduced by Michelin in France few
years later. The Michelin tire was de
tachahle. the first of that type, could
be repaired easily on the road by the
rider. and naturally enough soon be-
came the subject of much imitation.
The late NJ. Levassor. one Of the
worlds first and most enthusiastic au-
tOmObile builders, voiced the sentiment
of other car makers when he made his
now historic remark: You might fill a
tire with hay or straw and get through
an automobile race successfully, but
with air-never!
1t was only after a most severe praC-
l
of the tire manufacturer himself that
pneumatics secured their first firm foot
hold. This was IN the historic Paris
Bordeaux speed and endurance contest
of 1885, i'm which Messrs. Micheltn en-
tered a car that they built themselves
at their own rubber factory at Clermont-
Ferrand, France, in order to prove Il
the world that pneumatic tires were
practical. no automobile manufactured
being willing to risk his car on any
thing but solid tires.
1t is a fact that the modern high
powered, fast but lightweight automo-
/ bile would be impracticable were it not
for the invention and present perfection
of the pneumatic tire. The pioneers IN
each field, the tiremaker and the car
/ builder. have worked hand in hand, yeal
after year New records for speed and
endurance are being made each season
many of them being of international
! Importance. Realizing the advantages
/ of best possible tires, can manutae-
turers everywhere naturally use tbs
equipment that has stood by in tht
past basing their choice solely on the
/ record established away back in 1855
and since maintained.
