EXPLOITS "CLEAN DESIGN"
Howard Coffin Tells British En-
gineers His Ideas.

London, Nov. 1l.-That the motor car as
an advanced means OF transportation will
experience a marked increase in usefulness
10 he world with the coming of clean
design" was the sentiment that was burned
into the minds OF American and British
engineers on Wednesday at the interna-
tional session of the American and British
societies Of automobile engineers by How
ard l.. Coffin, reputed the leader Of Ameri-
can engineering practice.
Mr. Coffin stated that clean designs
cars free of rods and cluttering Of iron and
steei--were an absolute certainty for the
next few years. according 10 the trend Of
the principles of engineering practice.
Mr.. Collins address was made at the din
rer given 10 the American Society of Engi-
neers by the British society.
The American engineer expressed the be-
lief that this constantly increasing sim
plicity would make IT possible for women 10
drive the gasolene car. and that clean de-
sign" like the elimination OF the useless
scarolding OF a building meant the de-
crease of difficulty that some who might
own cars fear they will encounter.
Another thing that Will increase the au-
tomobiles field with the general adoption
OF clean design" Is the fact that this will
make the car more easily understa ndabie
10 the man who Is not of a mechanical turn
OF mind.

Tire Users Saved
$14,000,000

This is an estimate-we can't know exactly.
But we do know that q per cent of all ruined cllncher
tires have been rm-cut. That ruin is impossible with
Goodyear No-Rinl-Cut tires.
And No-Rim- Cut tires are 1917 oversize That
1919 more ar-lO% added carrying capacity. That, with
the average car, adds $50 to the tire mileage.
These two features together-No-R RimCut and oversize
under average conditions doubtless save users S3O per
tire And 700 900 have been sold to date.
If our estimate is right this patented tire has saved
motor car owners $14 100000 And the saving is growing
at an enormous rate. For No-RCu tires now outsell
any other type of tire.

New-York tribune., 1911-11-12

Now we add to these tires, when
wanted, a double thick Non
Skid tread.
Not a fimsy protection-not
short-lived projections on a regu-
lar tread. We worked three years
to create a perfect Non-Skid.
This is an extra tread, about as
thick as our regular, vulcanized
onto our regular tread. tits made
of very tough rubber, immensely
wear-resisting.
This double thickness permits
these deep-cut blocks, so the non
skid feature lasts.
The blocks grasp the road sur
face with countless edges and
angles-the most efficient device
known against skidding.
Each block wfdens out at the
base. so the strain is distributed
over just as much surface as with
smooth-tread tires.
