Manager, Savage Tire Co..
Among the rapidly growing list OF
industries that our neighboring city
San Diego boasts, the Savage Tire
Company has rapidly forged itself in
to the lead. A. w. Savage, who is
very we'll known as the inventor and
manufacturer of all Savage firearms,
is at the head of the new factory, and
this fact alone savors of nothing but
success. The factory, which, by the
way, is as large as several of the
prominent Eastern plants, is COM
pletely equipped with the latest and
most improved tire making machin-
cry The superintendent and chemist
both are men who have been connected
with the rubber industry since its
infancy, comining their knowledge
of rubber and tire making with the
demand for absolutely nothing but
the highest quality of workmanship
and material, which Mr.. Savage al
WAYS makes. There is nothing left to
do but produce as nearly perfect
pneumatic casing as can be made.
Another feature that tends toward a
better product is the fact that all
employs are paid a day wage, and
given instructions to take pains rath-
er than to make speed. The company
has in it's employ over 300 men who
draw an average wage of over $4.OO
day. This enormous pay roll is In
itself strong argument to prospec-
tive purchasers of automobile tires
to keep their money at home. Early
in April the Savage Company realiz-
ed the Importance of Imperial valley
as tributary business, and IN conse-
uuence established factory branch
agency fir the entire valley with Roy
Moorman and Company of Ell Centre;
combined with the popularity and
we'll known fair dealing of this con-
Germ, the merit of the Savage tire
has caused over a hundred per cent
increase in business every month
since the agency was established. AT
the present time Mr.. Norman assist
ed by Roscoe S. Porter is placing an
agency with leading garage in each
of the valley cities. The garages seem
we'll pleased to handle the tires, and
SO far about $4,000 worth have been
orderd. This in itself will be great
henefit to automobilists because
there will never be lack of sizes as
has often been the case. This will
save a lot of Unnecessary delay and
expense. Judging from the already
pleasing business the new arrange
ment will result in tremendous sale
of Savage tires in the valley because
it has been found that valley people
are ready and willing to use the home
product.
In Calexico Rich & Son have re-
ceived the agency, while in Browley
and Holtville, the dealers are Blyden
& Shank and J. v. Taggart, jr., I'm
perial City will be handled by c. w.
Browns garage. All of these agencies
will be taken care of by Roy Moor
man & Company who act as distri-
butors.
The original arrangement with Roy
Norman & Company was made 5y
Mr.. Savage in person. Roy Moor
man, manages of the company which
bears his name is entitled to a great
deal of credit from the valley motor
lists because it is through his untir-
ing efforts and good business judg-
ment that the Savage Tire Company
have been willing to enter this field to
the great extent that it has.
Her Explanation
There was some deficiencies in the
early education of Mrs. Donahoe, but
she never mentioned them or admit
ted their existence. "Will you sign
your name here?" asked the young
lawyer whom Mrs. Donahoe had asked
to draw up deed transferring a
parcel of land to her daughter.
''You sign it yourself an I'll make
me mark said the old woman quick
ly "Since me eyes gave out I'm not
abel to write a wurrd, young man."
"How do you spell t?" he asked,
pen in hand.
Spell it whatever way you Place y
said Mrs Donahoe recklessly. "Since
lost me teeth there's not wurrd in
the wourrld can spell"
