the solid-tire Standardization was con-
sidered. They recommended that atwood
wheels for solid tires should be--fitted

the business man is naturally confused.
He may consider the highest priced
motor wagon the most economical,
whereas he may find by experience that
one of the more medium priced cars Is
the most economical =
