PNEUMATIC TIRES ARE TO STAY
Question of a Good Rim il Now the
BiR Topic.

The question cf rims for automobile tires
is today a very important item. Until a
few years ago there was still uncertainty
In the minds OF many as to whether the
pneumatic tire. substantially in Us present
form. had come TO stay. or on the other
hand. whether It would be superseded by
something radically different. Today the
practical men of the industry give little
heed and waste no time on the idea OF
redical changes. For the large class OF
automobiles now in use, the pneumatic tire
is evidently the means par excellence OF
supporting the vehicle on any kind OF
road. A small percentage of AUTOMOBILES,
such as slow going trucks, are better
equipped with solid tires, but here the rub
Der tire still reigns supreme and gives
promise Of continuance.

and repairing II or replacing IT, The re-
placing has in fact become essential he

prospects in the near future OF automo'
biles for service where time is money.
Having narrowed down TO the replace

of taking the tire off and puttius a new
one on and initiating It or carrying ~

has involved the design Of innumerael'
