Redueed Tire Prices Announced by
Michelin.

Reduced tire prices have just been an
nounced by the Michelin Company. The
new prices went into effect on Monday,
February 10Th. This announcement sets
at rest the many rumors regarding price
revision that have agitated the tire trade
for some time. On inquiry among dealers
it was learned that while several tire
makers have recently offered special in
ducements to the trade, Michelin is the
first to give tire users the benefit of re-
duction. Michelin's new prices show a
marked saving over previous quotations,
the reduction on several of the larger Sizes
being as much as seven dollars per casing
On the smaller sizes the saving averages
from seven to ten per cent.
