j.: II the efforts Of Il. o. Harrison and
the backing OF the entire west are to
be considered. the national automo-

Francisco. Harrison, on his current
trip 70 the east. has made it his prime
motive. and he is at present closely
associated with men OF affairs who are
influential in the bringing or keeping
sSZay OF the great exhibition.
: There are three big shows each year
being held respectively in New York,
Bostan and Chicago, but last year the
rule was broken and one big exposition
was held in Atlanta. Ga.
This made Harrison hopeful Of bring
ing q show OF national Importance TO
the Pacific coast. and he set to work.
The automobile manufacturers know
ri the Importance of the automobile
Industry on the coast and are listening
with interest. As a matter Of fact,
Harrison has received some encourag ge-
rnent from the eastern men, and he is
working strenuousiy 10 further his
end. Harrison has just completed a
two weeks visit TO the Everitt and
Peerless factories and will spend the
coming week at the headquarters of
the automobile dealers in New York

signed apparatus. We can now change

whereas with the ordinary clincher
tire II would take at least so minutes
with the large sized tire used by the
corps. II is an utter impossihility
for your tire 70 be thrown from the
type Of tire we had one accident that
caused the apparatus not 10 reach the
fire, owing TO the clincher pulling from
dhe rim. which was the direct cause Of
our. applying your tires. I can truth
fully state that the Fisk bolted on type
on removable rims is the most practical
tire thus far on the market for tire
apparatus. and can add that If We're
ordering q car for any use I would
surely specify this type Of tire. from a
practical standpoint.
