RELIABILITY IS PRIME
REQUISITE IN BUILDER
r. {. oIds Has Exemplified Trait in
Construction of the REQ
Cars

Reliability and permanency of the
that the owner Of a motor car fire.
q"ently fails to fully appreciate. When
man buys motor car he naturally
looks for the largest measure of me-
chanicaI efficiency, economy and auto
mobile value that his money can buy.
His second great care should be the
relative responsibility of the maker of
his car.
In both these essentials the REQ has
always stood pre-eminent. 1t has
been the aim of r. e. Olds at all times
to build the REQ with as good ma
terial as could be found in the best
American RS selling for more than
double it's price-a fact well borne out
in the enviable record which the REQ
holds in the classic .ational endur-
ance and economy contests in which
it has figured so brilliantly since its
debut in 1906. No better testimony
than this need be given to prove the
Reo's sterling motor qualities. AS for
that permanency and responsibility of
the maker which the auto owner
prizes above all else, it is of interest
to note that the REQ plant embraces
twenty-four acres on which are erected
fourteen large brick buildings. These
afford 500, ,301 square feet of floor space
The plant has a value of over $l,OOO,-
000 1t employs 100 skilled engineers,
machinists and workmen, all of whom
are working overtime now in order TO
meet the tremendous demand for REQ
cars from all sections of the globe.
The testing track is over third of
a mile long, having grades as high as
80 per cent, which every REQ must ne
gotiate many times before it is shipped.
The daily capacity for 1910 is about
fifty cars and about 80 per cent of

TIRE MAKING BECOMES
EXTENSIVE INDUSTRY
Few Realize to What Growth BUSINESS
Has Attained in Recent
Years

Few people, even among the auto
mobile-using fraternity, fully reallze 10
what enormous proportions the lnous-
trv of manufacturing automobile tires
has reached. With the phenomenal IN
crease in the number of cars in every
day use, and the consequent consuIilP
tion of hundreds of thousands OF tlres'
has come a serious shortage IN the
available supply of tires, due 10 Tue
fact that not only have the tire llls1llu- M
facturers been entirely unprepared Tor
such a yalume of business, but also
due to the fact that the worlds sup
nix, Of crude rubber has not kept pace
with the demand.
Among the leaders in the automobile
tire industry the name OF the Goou-
wear company stands out pre-emlnent,
due to the worldwide reputation this
company has enjoyed for more than
a generation for superiority OF It's
products.
The w. D. Newerf Rubber company
of San Francisco and Los Angeles was
among the first to perceive the future
importance of the automobile tire IN
dustry and lost no time in securing the
representation of some leading make
for the Pacific coast. Its choice, after
repeated demonstrations, could not but
center upon the Goodyear tire, and ne
gotiations were entered into whereby
the Newerf company obtained the Pa
cific coast agency.
Since that time, whenever there has
been a decisive race, hill-climblng con
test. endurance run or other test where
the tire question was a material FAC
tor in the success of the winning car,
the GOODYEAR tire has been the equip
ment used.
The Mount Badly hill-climbing con-
test; that most merciless and severe
test of ALL both on car and on equip
ment, the Los Angeles-Phoenix ROAD
race. where the conditions We're such
as to render it almost beyond reason
to expect tires to stand the test, Wer2
all won on Goodyear tires.
The long trip from Los Angeles to
San Francisco was also a Goodyear
victory, and the fact that these tires
came through with only one puncture
Ga sharp wire staple), speaks more elo-
quently than words of the superiority
of these tires. On the same set OF tires
that had come up from Los Angeles,
and without repairing, they set Off
again on a trip to Portland, where they
arrived apparently in as good condl-
ton as when they started.
1t is such performances as these that
have caused the largest contract for
automobile tires that has ever been
closed to be awarded to the Goodyear
company, and this one contract calls
for the delivery of 100000 tires.
Just consider how much sea island
cotton and the great quantity of crude,
pure rubber this one contract calls for,
and then think how much the Good
year company must consume annually
in its entire output.
There is a reason for this enormous
demand for Goodyear tires. With the
fierce competition which exists for the
tire trade, it is only the best that will
win out, and the unqualified success Of
the Goodyear tire is what is keeping
the sales and delivery departments of
the w. d. Newerf Rubber company
busy all the time executing the orders,
which, in many instances, without
solicitation, come from all parts of the
Pacific coast.

at the big REQ factory. This certainly
shows permanency and stability.

TENDENCY Is TOWARD
EXTRA LARGE TIRES

The Palace show in New York will
reveal. notwithstanding the prevailing
high prices on tires, that there is de-
cided tendency or rather a reVersion to
type toward the use of larger wheels
and tires, not only in diameter, but in
cross section. Much of this is due, un-
doubtedly, to the influence of buggies
of high wheel construction, which rep
resents the road use of other days, and
the ability to now use these big wheels
and big tires is also aided by the pre-
vailing practice of narrowing the frame
in front so as to allow of a greater
steering radius.
The smallest tires in use by makers
at the Palace are 2SX3-inch pneumatics.
used on the Brush, REQ and Maxwell,
and the biggest are the 40X4-inch, used
on the American. The striking feature
of the show is the pronounced use of
36-inch tires, both in the four and Az
inch section, there being fourteen
makers listing these tires both front
and rear.
The Pennsylvania uses 36x4-inch
front and 36X415-inch in the rear. The
Acme, Gaeth and Chadwick use 36x4-
inch in the front and 96x4h-inch in
the rear, while another model of the
Chadwick uses 36x4 in the front and
36X5 in the rear, Thirty-six by Az are
used on the nine types of cars. A pc
culiarity is the use of 36x31a tires on
the Moline. This is in line with the
best foreign practice, which is that a
large tire raises less dust when small
in cross section.
Other peculiar sizes used are 37X5 on
the Austin and 99ia on the Premier ami
Welch, S6x5. 1t must, however, be
borne in mind that all these tires that
are larger than 36 inches in diameter
are used only on the biggest and highest
powered cars.
That the 34x4-inch tire is common
on the popular priced car is not to be
wondered at, because it represents an
average cost to the maker. Nineteen
firms are using this tire. Thirty-two
by 31a-inch tires are used on the seven
models of cars, and 32x3-inch on three
Thirty by 31a Inch are used on the
small models of the four manufacturers.

FIVE BODIES OFFERED
IN THE ROYAL TOURIST

While the Royal Tourist of 1910 ap-
pears on but one chassis, five distinct
bodies are offered to the purchaser.
These include the Limousine, five and
seven passenger touring car, runabout
and dustless body.
All of these will be seen at the Madi-
son Square Garden automobile show;
and as many of these as the space OBJ
tanned will permit will also be exhibited
at Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia,
Cleveland, Kansas City and Mime
-apolis.
The Royal Tourist Car company of
Cleveland has begun what promises to
be the most successful year in its his
tory.
"Tt is not the policy of the company
to turn out cars by the thousand" says
George J. Dunham, president and gem
eral manager. st don't believe that we
will make any more than 400 cars in
the 1910 series, but our factory system
preeludes the possibility of any car
leaving without having received the
greatest possible attention in every de-
tail of construction and testing"
The Royal motor of 1910 is of the
four-cylinder type, cast in pairs. At
1000 revolutions 48. .4-horsepoWer CA. L..
A. M. rating) is developed. Cylinders
have a stroke of six inches and a bore
of 51S.
The drive is shaft and bevel gear,
and the transmission, of the selective
type, gives four forward speeds and
reverse.
The car has wheel base of 126
inches and the tread is Sc inches. All
materials used in the Royal are bought
with care, and examined and tested
before being used. Robert Jardine, de-
signer and general superintendent, de-
votes the major portion of his time to
insuring the best possible workmanship
on every part used.
Mountain e. Carrigan, who are local
agents for the Royal Tourist, are show
ing these same models in their hand

TIRES MAKE GOOD RECORD

A very interesting letter has been
received by the Diamond Rubber COM

showing splendid service of Diamond
tires on his Franklin car. He writes
that the front tires have already run
$3.50 miles and look good for further
service. One of the rear tires COW

moved from the rim, while the other
rear is still on the wheel and looks
