OF a combination Of the minor parties, as

BROKEN SHOW RECORDS
Second Day of 18th Annual At

When the officials OF the twelfth
annual automobile show OF the De-
troit Automobile Dealers association
swung open the doors OF the Wayne
Gardens and Annex this morning at
10 o'clock TO start the second day
or the weeks exposition, they were
confident that before the week was

Their confidence was based on the
great success Of the opening last
night. when throngs OF interested
people crowded the gardens and the
big annex almost from the moment
the gates were opened, as never be-
fore on opening night.
With every exhibit in place in its

the thousands blazing it's welcome
and with the motor accessory sx-

doors OF Wayne Pavilion and the
huge annex were thrown open 70 an
attendance which broke all opening

the gates the ordinations OF de-

Exhibitors on the upper moor OF
the pavilion no longer have all the
say owing to the great number Of
prominent firms who have their
space on the great main floor OF the
show and the added attractiveness OF
the annex has made that one OF the
favorite exhibition halls. Last years

EMPIRE TIRE
WINS FAVOR
Latest Product of Enterprising
Company Meets With In
slant Favor

Springing into immediate popularity
upon It's initial showing, a new auto
mobile tire which has just been placed
upon the market by the Empire Tire
Company OF this city bids fair TO be
one of the very best sellers along that
line. While the management OF the
Empire company has been working on
this particular tire for some six
months in order 10 get II TO the de
sired degree OF perfection, II was not
shown publicly until at the automobile
show In New York.
Realizing the many admirable quail
ties OF the new tire dealers and man
ufacturers favored the Empire Com
pRny with numerous orders for the
special brand OF tires and these will
insure the running OF the local plant
to capacity for some time 20 come.
However. the Empire Company is Just
about as busy as IL is possible for the
concern TO be without this additional
business. In fact some departments OF
the manufacturing establishment are
now operated nights.
In the manufacture OF the new tire
the Empire Company adopted the same
compound as has made the Peerless
mobiles are run. While the new tire
commands something like Il per cent
above the price asked for ordinary
tires. Judging from the start the tire
has made the trade is perfectly will
ing to pay the difference, II being real
lied that the stability and durability
OF the tire warrants the additional out
lay.
The new tire is red in color. devi-
alton from the ordinary automobile
tires. The life OF the compound used
by the Empire Company In the manu-.
facture OF the new tire Is regarded as
greater than any composition OF rub
Der used. Tubes six years old made
by the Empire Company OF this COM
position are still in good condition and
giving daily satisfaction.
People prominently identified with
the rubber business and, especially the
making OF automobile tires are free in
expressing the opinion that In the new
tire the Empire Company has sure
winner In fact the popularity into
which the tire sprung from It's initial
introduction 10 the trade is taken as
evidence OF this fact
Aside from the making OF the new
tire the Empire Company Is busily en-
gagged with it's usual work. the making
OF other tires which have made the
Empire Company famous, as we'll as
