MARKET FOR TIRES
EXPECTED TO Be GREAT
Demand in 1914, It l. Said, Win Far
Exceed that of the Cur
rent Year.
SOME REASONS ARE GIVEN

Some persons have drawn the conclu-
sicn that changed conditions in the au-
tomobile manufacturing end, conditions
Influenced by the state Of general busi-
ness, will make q vast difference to the
tire makers and that the market OF 1914
viii be only as large as that Of 1913. when
1t wRs expected to be far greater. This
Is not the case. Because OF the reduc-
tion In the price Of tires just announced.
1t will be necessary for tire makers to
account for decrease OF about 900
! In revenue occasioned by the cut in
prices, but this will be made up because
! there will be a greater market for tires
than in 1873 This can be determined by
simple reasoning.
Put the car output OF 1913 conservative
ly at 10000 cars. This meant 10000 sets
in 1913. For 1914 1t will mean six tires
to a car, for these new sets wear out and
must be replaced and spares must be
carried. Then again.. the average life of
an automobile is about five years. At
that rate, there are about ljo.OoO cars
annually that are through" They 20
to the scrap heap.
They are replaced, because motorists
keep right on using cars. Therefore, at
the very least, there is a demand for
10000 sets additional for 1914 not to men,
ton the many cars already in use that
1t can be seen that each year. as long
as any new cars at all are made, means
more tires called for than in the preced-
ing.
There are several reasons for the cut
in prices at this time One is the lower
price of crude; another is the threat OF
foreign invasion, following the tariff
reduction, and a third is the step taken
by the big manufacturers to bring their
prices as offered to automobile makers
and those offered to tire dealers and con-
sumers more nearly on q consistant
level of equality.
There are three concerns in this coun-
try whose daily capacity Is such that
they keep going full tilt all the time.
They could supply more tires than the
public could absorb. Their overhead
charges are no less when they produce
at so per cent capacity than when run
ming at 100 per cent. Therefore it is TO
their advantage to run nearly to capacity.
To do this, they must get the factory
business of the automobile makers. This
business is desirable, because II keeps
the factory going and even brings in a
small profit. But on account of the COM
petition, they must keep their prices
away low and IL is by making such cuts
as they have just done that the big fel-
lows bring their complete scale of charges
more nearly on equality. They must
make their prices low to the automobile |
factories. otherwise the little fellow |
would get in and every thousand tires or |
so he got on an order would take so and !
20 many busy hours away each day from |
the big fellow.

MUFFLER CUT-OUT OPPOSED.
Automobile Authority Does Not Fa.
Vor Its Use.

The increased power resulting from the
use of the muffler cut-out is not enough
To warrant its use, according to a we'll
known local authority.
while there is a certain amount OF
back pressure in the muffier, the re-
sultant loss of power is not enough to
warrant the nuisance that the constant
use of the cut-out becomes" he declared.
THE noise of the engine when the cut
out is in use is unpleasant, not only to
people in general, but to the occupants
Of the car. And with the exhaust from
the cylinders going directly to the
ground, as it does when the muffier is
cUt-out, the dirt on the street is stirred
up and the air is contaminated"
