TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
REGARDING TIRE USE
CONSULT THE TIRE PHYSICIAN
WHEN BUYING AUTOMOBILE

The question of tires is being better
understood as the days move along.
People who use tires are being edu-
the most expensive part of the upkeep
of an automobile Tires are matters
that require education upon the part Of
users more than they do of automobiles
themselves, for, having mastered the
question of levers and what the diff
ferent parts of the car are utilized for,
the automobile is from that moment d
subservient piece of machinery, simply
the thing controlled by the master mind
of the owner.
Avoiding the technical parts of the
manufacture or construction Of tires,
there is better way to reach the sub
ject, which calls for the exercise rather
OF sound, hard sense. Let us look at
1t for a moment from this standpoint.
The Herald makes the suggestion to
buyer of an automobile that when pur-.
chasing an automobile the proper way
is to make up the mind just what tire
they propose to use. Or, If they do not
know, just as they go to a doctor for
advice, they consult the tire physician,
and ascertain just what tires would be
best adapted to that particular car.
He will tell you whether IL is best for
you to have "a inch by four and
half or thirty-six by five and so ON,
and having weighed the car itself in
his mind, he is ready to give the same
sort of advice as the physician after

That is the business of the con-
scientious fireman. He is engaged in
nothing else. Ever he is studying what
is best for his own goods, and this must
be evident, for the better he can make
his wares show the more his business
grows, and 1t is from having clientage
that has been well and deservedly salts
fled that he gets his future business.
In speaking of this question to w.
d. Newerf of this city the other day,
that gentleman. known to be one of the
very best posted men on the subject of
rubber generally, and especially con-
cerning tires. remarked that unques-
tionably much of the tire troubles eX-
perienced by owners of automobiles
came from the fact that ii was the
lack of examining closely the matter of
what is the best adaptable tire for
their particular ear, either newly
The w. ID. Newerf company has made
one of the most pronounced successes
known to the business world of South
ern California, wholly by the closest
adherence to giving patrons the bene-
fit of their knowledge concerning tires,
and the writer can bear testimony to
the fact that however 1T might, inure
to the benefit of the firm to sell more
tires, the main consideration always

to use rubber tires to his best adVan-
tage.
When the automobile races are on.
and the preliminary tests of cars and
their speed is going on-as the play is
rehearsed before the audience assem-
bled-Mr. Newerf in person is on the
track, amidst the dirt and dust, care
fully noting every action of drivers
with their tires in which he is inter-
ested and when the ear takes to the
track at the terrific speed of the race ii
Is safe to say that the tires are giving
no trouble, unless through unforeseen
circumstances, such as a puncture,
picking up a nail or some such misfor-
tune that no human mind could foresee.
The driver is coached on how to
make changes, how to put on tire in
the first place-and II Is simple. Has II
ever been realized that there are but
very few persons who really know how
to DuL OH elIflcf "a SOCK, III a man. OF a
stocking, if woman? Watch it and
see. There is so much more comfort
in putting on a stocking correctly that
TO do so the difference will be noted at
once. Same thing with tires. A tire
driven on to the rim carelessly is pre-
cisely like the person or horse improp-
erly shod. They canpot go-that is, so
fast.
Properly adjusted and fitted in the
first place must mean economy of tires.
A little attention to them after being
properly adjusted, and you have tire
life. Improperly, and you have naught
but expense and profanity toward the
tires and all connected with them.
The best example of proper automo-
bile shoelng is the little racing car
Corbin. In the gruelling grinds through
which the Corbin has travelled all these
days of fierce driving she has been ex-
empt in nearly every instance from tire
troubles, and in practically every in
stance has finished with the same tires
and is still wearing them.
For that reason it will be well for all
automobile drivers and owners to hang
close to the vehicle that carries you
over.
You will have but little trouble if at
first you start right with your tires.
