MAKING OF TIRES TO
Be EXPLAINED
IN PICTURES
Process of Manufacture will
be Featured at Metro
politan Theatre

A unique demonstration will be
given at the Metropolitan theater on
Tuesday night by the B. F. Goodrich
company of Akron. Ohio, in order to
familiarize the motorists of Grand
Forks with the method employed in
the collection and manufacture of
rubber for motor tires. The demon
stration Is under the charge of F. NJ.
Tellisch and will take the form of a
moving picture display during the
course of which II various pro
cesses through which the rubber
passes from the time it is collected
from the tree until it is turned out in
the shape of a completed tire will be
shown and carefully explained by MIR.
Tillisch, who is an expert in The his
torical part of the business. The per-
Torrance will commence at 1890 p.
M. and anyone wishing to attend can
obtain complimentary tickets on APP
plication to the local automobile deal
ers.
The B. F.. Goodrich company is
sending Mr.. Tilliscll about h coun
try at great expense in order to give
every owner Of an automobile n
the prospective buyer Of cars the OPP
portunity to become Thoroughly fam
iliar With the production of rubber
INV NV way IN
from the soil to the tire.
Something of a picture trip has to
he taken from the tropical jungles of
Brazil to the busy factory of the COM
pany in America in the telling of the
story and the way in which Mr.. TIL
lisch handles his subject makes the
evenings entertainment thoroughly
interesting and enjoyable.
No industry is as interesting as the
procuring of rubber n its manufac-
ture. The picturesque natives make
extraordinary pictures. and the vari-
BUS processes are so unusual as to be
something to be remembered for
years.
The first picture shows scenes in
the jungles Of Brazil along the banks
of the Amazon river and its tribu-
taries. Mr.. Tillisch explains that the
various districts in which the crude
rubber is gathered are rented from
the Brazilian government by contrac-
tors. Then they fit out their expedi-
tions, comprised of natives with their
overseers. The force is divided into
gangs, each of whom is given a dis
trict to work"
The tools employed by these natives
are of the very crudest kind. The
incision in the tree is made with a
fastened under III incision. into
which the juice is allowed to flow.
The native method of working the
Juice into crude rubber biscuits will
then be shown. These biscuits are
transported down the Amazon to tide
water and the rubber markets. They
are then carried in large coastins
freighters to the United States and
then brought to the Goodrich factory
at Akron. Cotton and other products
are also very important factors in the
manufacture OF auto tires and rubber
garments of various kinds. the differ
ent methods of obtaining these pro-
ducts are also shown.
Scenes in the big factory are ex-
hibited and the workings of h nam
moth plant explained to the smallest
detail. A recent added feature will
he the beginning of the making OF
the universal ~demountable quick de-
tachable rim.
The closing pictures show automo-
bile races, all the exciting starts and
finishes being pictures on the canva
