MOTORISTS CARE
DECIDES LENGTH
TIRE WILL LAST
Some Owners Get AS Much
As 1900 Miles Out
of Casing.

The service motorists obtain from
tires is directly proportional to the de-
gree of care and attention they give
to their tires says G. M. Stadelman,
secretary of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company.
Some men write into our factory that
they have obtained as high as 1900
miles from a single casing. Upon in
vesugating It is invariably found that
the men who get the most out of their
tires are the ones who are most care
full about keeping their tires inflated
to the proper pressure.
1T is impossible to estimate what the
mileage of a tire should be simply be-
cause syou cannot, reduce human care
to a common denomination. Every man
drives a car with a different degree of
care. And road conditions play a large
part in determining tire life.

A recent improvement in the storage
battery field has been that of the
'lronclad-Exide'' battery, which is a
refinement and development of the
standard "Exide'' battery. which for
years has been used in the majority OF
all electric vehicles. The .Ironclad.
Exide" battery has been in service in
many cities and i'm thousands Of cleo.

results of its use have shown that II
gives increased mileage, two to three
times longer life, and considerably re-
duces the cost of operation.
The economy in the use of the Iron
clad-Exide" battery is due primarily to
the fact that the active material is SC
confined in the positive plates that tho
amount of sediment deposited in the
bottom of the battery jars is reduced to
a minimum. which, Therefore. practi-
cally overcomes the necessity for clean

The "Ironclad-E xide" battery, on &C.
count of its unique features, is being
widely used, yet for many electric We

commercial cars, the "Exide" battery
gives most satisfactory results Modif-
cations of the "Exide' battery have
been developed in what are known as
the "Hycap-Exide" and Thin Exi6ie'
batteries. which are made with thinner
plates than the "Exide" battery, adapt.

Zone of the featurees of the recent
motor car exhibition in Paris was a
small model Cadillac just large enough

of the Cook & Stoddard Company.
THE little model is a reproduction OF
the large Cadillac roadster, except that
its power plant consists Of the Delco

regular feature of the big car. With
the power of this cranking device the
little machine will travel some fifteen
miles on one battery charge at speed
up to twelve miles an hour.

How to Take Care
Of Cars Radiator

The radiator is one of the most deli
cate parts of the motor cars construc-
ton, and yet it is the most exposed to
flying sticks and stones that may be
thrown up by the rapid travel of the
car. The car owner may do well to fol-
low the practice Of many racing drivers,
who place a heavy wire mesh screen In
front of the radiator as a protection
against obstacles that may be struck
by the front of the car. 1t would seem
that sticks and stones would be thrown
toward the rear of the machine and
would therefore avoid the radiator by
wide margin, but experience has
proved that at high speed such loose
pieces are frequently forced forward
and are run into by the front Of the
car.
