posing that she would be permitted
by Russia and Great Britain to
reform her finances: but she did

reluctance put Russia to the

SPECIAL

The Pittsburgh Dispatch. under date OF
May 21st 1911, is responsible for the state
ment that The studebaker Corporation, man
ufacturers Of the z. NJ. F. 80 and the
Flanders 40" cars. had just placed an order
with The United States Tire Company for
1S5. 600 tires and an equal number Of Conti-
mental Demountable Rims, and that the said
order involved a cash outlay Of over 81, 200. 900
The said paper failed to state, however. who
furnished the hickory spokes and felloes
necessary to complete said wheels.
Suppose for Instance that The Berntson
Spring Wheel Company had been In q post.
tion to have said to The Studebaker Com
pany, I'VE will furnish you the material
necessary to complete said order for wheels
that when completed you will have a
stronger wheel, a more artistic wheel and
possibly be made Of hickory, and the cost
to you will he 81, 90 per wheel less than you
have to pay for the hickory wheel, or @ ret
saving TO you OF siS5, CO.," And let US further
suppose that in order 10 secure the contract
for furnishing the material necessary to
complete said 1875. 900 wheels we were COM
PEELED to cut our margin Of proft 10 the dif-
ference between the cost OF steel as compared
with the cost of second growth hickory. Yet
We would still have made clear profit on
said order of more than 5000, 600. or 10 per
cent on the value of the entire capitalization
OF the Berntsou Spring Wheel Company. And
yet this Is only one instance Of the various
opportunities for making money by the man
ufacture and sale Of an essential commodity
in the Automobile Industry.
The Washington times., 1912-05-11
PRACTICABILITY

The practicability OF the Berntson Steel
Wheels herein illustrated has been proven
beyond the possibility Of a doubt by its ac-
tual use during the past nine months. prin-
cipally in the city OF Pittsburgh. Pa, the
home Of the steel industry in this country
and where a number OF prominent stockhoid-
ers and trustees OF the Company reside
Anyone who is familiar with the hilly, con-
gested and roughly paved business streets OF
Pittsburgh and Allegheny. where the wheels
herein portrayed have stood the tests of
durance by actual daily use for demonstrat-
ing purposes for about hve months. will
readily agree that wheel that will hold up
and give entire satisfaction in the cities Of
Pittsburgh and Allegheny will prove satis-
factory In any other city in the United
States: therefore, the Company's reason for
the claim that the Berntson Steel Wheel will
be generally accepted a practical and very
essential commodity In connection with the
automobile industry.
Especial attention Is called to the fact,
that while the resilient steel spoles used in
the manufacture of the BeTntSon Steel Wheel
are much lighter than the wooden spokas
now in common use. yet the BerntSon Steel
Wheel has more than doubls the strength
latterally, and that by Its use accidents On
account OF lateral strain or dishinE OF the
wheel caused by skidding or otherwise, are
much less liable to occur. and consequently
the lives OF the occupants Of the car ara
much safer in every respect.
The Washington times., 1912-05-11

More durable and artistic than the
wooden wheel, not affected by climatic
conditions, and can be used in con-
nection with any style of tire, solid or
pneumatic.
The Washington times., 1912-05-11

Lighter than hickory, with double
the strength laterally, its resilient steel
spokes acting as a cushion, thereby
increasing the life of your tires and
cutting down expenses. - -
The Washington times., 1912-05-11
TIRE QUESTION

The Berntson Resilient Steel Wheels are
so constructed as 70 permit the use Of any
standard make of tire, solid, cushion -aIrlSsz
or pneumatic.
This Company is not interested either al
reetly or indirectly in the manufaetgrs Of
any particular automobile or style OF tire.
II is only interested In the manufacture Of
wheels. resilient wheel built Of steel
which is more artistic and much stronger
than the ordinary wooden spoke wheel and
wheel that owing to lite resiliency win save

what style Of tire you may use. TO say moth

OF the entire mechanism Of your car.
