discussion since as to what the outcome
of the French race would have been had

from the fact that Boillot is a great

NEW CHALMERS CAR
IS ACME OF MOTORS
1913 Model Is Perfection
From Mechanical and Lay
man Standpoint.

With full electric lighting equipment
Turkish cushions, eleven-inch upholstery
handsome all-metal bell backed bodies
air pressure self-starter demountable
rims and many other improvements
Chalmers cars for 1913 appeal to the lay
man as having reached just about the
acme of motor car comfort, convenience
and good looks.
The line for 1913 consists of three
chassis models-the 49," which has been
well known for the past five years; the
49," which was first introduced last sea-
son, and the Six" which was brought
out about the first of the present year.
Mechanically, the new cars offer no in
novations. The elf-starter, which was
first introduced last ason, is continued

Many Racing Stars Expected to Start
in Illinois Meet Next Friday.

With the Elgin road races only one
week OFF interest in the events grows
apace and indica tions are that the
coming event will eclipse all former
contests held on the Elgin circuit.
Racing drivers and their retinue of me-

at their quarters on or near the race
course and from now on practice will
be begun in earnest. With such stars
as Bruce Brown, Milford, Tetzlaff,

is likely that Boillot. who is now on
his way to America with the Peugeot
outfit, will drive in the free for-aIl
event if the cars arrive here in time.
On next Friday, which is the first
day Of the meet, will be run the
events for the Aurora trophy and the
Illinois trophy, while on the next day
the contest for the Elgin national tro-
ply and the freefor-all will take
place In addition to these four events
there will be run also a baby car"
event. the first of its kind ever run, for
machines with motors having less than

Modest Capitalization

We believe that high cost of living is
largely due to the enormous volume of
watered stocks.
Fictitious capital, calling for dividends,
compels prices out of reason.
So we have chung to modest capitaliza-
ton, though this is the worlds largest
tire business. Not dollar of water in
our capital stock.
We count in our assets neither patents
nor good will. We have no bonded debt.

Factory Growth

Our original factory had sc, 900 square feet.
Our additions for the year 1912 alone will total
$50. 900 square feet.
When these additions are completed they will
give total of SOC, 900 square feet.
Figure what this means. Were the factory

Profit Sharing

We believe that men work best who
have share in the earnings. And that
owners of the business are apt to best
serve its patrons.
So 134 of our leading men share in the
Goodyear profits. And the Company has
helped them acquire their stock.
Our branch managers are stockholders.
Thus our dealings with the public, the
whole country over, are being conducted
by partners.
In our factories, building tires, there
are 40 stockholders. In our Office there
are 33.
Ninety per cent Of the Goodyear COM
mon stock is owned by the active men in
the concern.
Every voice in our policy, every factor
in quality, every creator of Goodyear repu
tation, shares the results of his actions.
We know of no better way to insure
to our customers the service which we
intend.

Goodyear Popularity

Our monthly sales now jus: about equal our
years sales in the year 1909.
Last years output for the first six months was
1S6, 307 automobile tires. This years output,
for the same six months, came to ass, 1888 tires.
This has largely come about through what
motorists said about Goodyear tires and methods.
Those are eloquent figures to answer the ques-
ton, ''Do ideals in business pay?"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-08-25
Moderate Profits

We insist on moderate profits. Our
eventual interests, we are sure, are best
conserved in that way.
Our profit last year on o-R1m-Cu tires
averaged 81 per cent. That's half the
usual in line like this.

CROSS COUNTRY CAR
NEARLY FOOLPROOF
New Model, in Five Different
Styles, Embodies New
Unit.

For 1918 the Thomas r. Jeffery Com
pany announces the Cross Country model
in five different body styles, all on the
same chassis. embodying the new unit
gasoline and electric motor.
The body styles include the five-pas-
senger Cross Country. four passenger
Cross Country. the Cross Country Road
ster. the Sedan for four passengers all
inclosed; the Gotham. a five-passenger
limousine with two extra cab seats, and
a special touring body for five adults and
two children.
The new unit gasoline and electric
motor, feature quite in advance of the
day. combines two widely used and thor
oughiy known power principles. one in the
thirty efght-horsepower, four-cylnder
Cross Country engine, the other in the
commonly used electric motor generator
To start you merely press a button.
Press another, the lamps are lighted At
the instant you press the starting button
the electric motor starts.
Practically Foolproof.
As the gasoline engine is an integral
part, it is turning also at a rate of 200
revolutions per minute. There is no fall
tering or doubtful turning effort. 1t is
quick, positive and continuous. After
the explosions start the electric motor
automatically changes into an electric
generator and is creating and storing
electrical energy for future use
The construction and operation of the
motor generator is practically fooproof.
In the most exacting tests and even with
severe abuse the engineers have been
unable to injure it. The entire device is
thoroughly dependable; so simple that a
woman who does not care to know about
its construction can expect the same
success with 1t as an electrical expert
The only attention required is the add-
ton or distilled water to the battery
The color Of the 1913 Cross Country is
light brewster green: it's wheels are :i6x4
inches and 1t has a 120-inch wheel base.
The car Is trimmed in nickel. with body.

pearance. Ten-inch upholstery is a new

Every question that came up has been an
swered only by the mileage test.
After Is years of that sort of comparison we
have brought Goodyear tires pretty close to
6nality.
Rim-C utting Ended
Completely
Then some of our experts took up the rim
cutting question. They examined thousands OF
ruined tires, of nearly every make. And they
found among all the clincher tires that Is per
cent were rim-cut.
Then a tire was invented to make rim cutting
impossible. It is known as the Goodyear No
Rim-Cut tire.
These tires now outsel every other tire made.
They are used today on tens of thousands of
cars. Yet never has one been rim-cut
BY this invention alone we wiped out for tire
users about % per cent of their tire upkeep.

needs to control his car is out of reach
of the driving seat.
In the matter of interior finish, the new
cars are strikingly luxurious. All seats

All Young Men

We believe in young men, and our
organization consists of them. The most
important man in it, in manufacturing
way, is So years old.
Thus the Goodyear concern typifies the
the enterprise Of youth.
Each mans career lies mainly before
him. So none rests on his laurels, none
is yet casing up.
Goodyear men, wherever you meet
them, are the kind you like to meet. They
personify intelligent activity.

The four forward speed transmission
which was brought cut last season on the

Chalmers cars show the most marked adj

for the new season an extremely high

Faults and mistakes are forgiven by
