GOODYEAR MARKETS
ALL WEATHER" TREAD

Hereafter a popular type of product
Akron, Ohio, Is to be known as the
AL Weather" tread tire. This name
takes the place Of "Non-Skid," as de-
scriptive of the slipless type of Good
year tire.
Only a few years ago non-skid de-
signs for tire treads were considered
a novelty by motorists. The automobile
public next began buying non-skids
for use in winter or under special
weather conditions, and now there Is
general recognition of the fact that a
tire tread If properly constructed, can
insure safety n additional miles at
all seasons, under a multitude Of condi-
TONS.
The proportion Of Goodyear Non
Skids" sold to total Goodyear tire sales,
has been increasing by leaps. This
sale Is no longer a seasonable matter,
but keeps UP the year around. The
tire users have come to realize that the
Goodyear "Non-Skid" is useful, safe,
and economical in all weathers-hence
the chang Of name. There Is no
change in the tread design itself. 1t
presents the same edges and angles,
ana ofers the same strong resistance
to skidding on any surface. These
edges remain sharp under wear, and
the raised blocks widen out at tn
base, distributing the strain to the tire
FABRIC evenly, as in smooth tread tires.
with their points in the direction Of
travel, insuring smooth riding.
Inc growth Of the Goodear Mon
ska from a seasonable proposition, a
rev years ago, to an actual ALL
Weather" tire for thousands of motor
lists, is considered noteworthy tribute to
this feature Of Goodyear experience
and building skill.

BELIEVES
IN SAFETY FIRST

One hundred and fifteen factory fore
men Of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Co., Akron, Ohio. have been organized
into a, compact Inc aggressive Safety
first" battalion. This organization was
perfected at a banquet presided over
by Pres. r. A. Seiberling of the Good
year company, and addressed by him
and other Goodyear officials, as well as
other outside Safety first experts Of
note. >
Introducing the subject President
Setberling said:
During the past year, 5000 men have
worked for Goodyear. During the com
ing year this number will be increased
to 10. 900. 1t is inevitable among such
a multitude, that accidents will hap
pen. Goodyear foremen need to realize
the necessity of safeguards and con-
slant vigilance. This holds
the safeguarding of the lives and we'll
being Of its employees as a high moral
obligation"
Moving pictures showing safety de-
vices and the danger Of their absence,
illustrated various talks,-and a squad
was organized to patrol the forty one
acre factory constantly, looking for
dangerous operations, i~nstructfng
workmen, and suggesting safety de-
vices.
Though installed but a short time.
the Safety first" organization has al
ready caused a noticeable reduction in
the number Of minor accidents Reported
among the thousands of Goodyear
workrnen.

TREMENDOUS DEMAND
FOR DELIVERY CAR

The Commerce Motor Car Co. has
recently completed several exhaustive
surveys relative to the universally of
the demand for delivery cars. The
combined results Of these surveys is
the surprising fact that nine out Of
every ten merchants or business
houses to whom delivery Is of any
importance, have either already in
stalled or are seriously considering the
installation of a motor delivery sys-
tenn. These figures have beer well
borne out by the results Of the recent
canvass carried on by the six city
statesmen of the Commerce Sales Co,
the recently established Detroit agency
OF the Commerce Co.
In a survey which has Just been
finished by one of the largest dry
goods magazines In the country $50
merchants were approached on the
motor delivery question. OF that $50,
l22 who did not use motor delivery re-
piled that they were seriously con-
sidering so doing.
Practically every progressive mer-
chant has at least given motor delivery
his serious consideration and the uni
versatility Of the demand for this in
dustry is well assured. The Commerce
Motor Car Co., with a delivery ear
built from tho wheels UP solely to sat
lsfy this universal demand, liz pre-
pairing for an Increased production
and a big year in 1914.

NJ. A. Enders, manager Of the Fargo
Branch of the Ford Motor Co.. is n
.of the pioneers Of the automobile bus
mess, having supervised one Of the
.principal mechanical departments Of
the Mobile Co. of America in 1900 and
In 1903 he recognized the handwriting
on the wall and in that year became
connected with the New York branch
of the Ford Motor Co. in the capacity
of territory representative. In 1910 he
was promoted to Cincinnati, O., as
branch manager and during the fol-
DOWN three years devoted his entire
time in forwarding the interests Of
the company in southern Ohio and
branches in Louisville and Columbus.
He has been very successful and his
knowledge Of territorial conditions
and judgment of human nature have
gone far toward the establishing Of
successful organizations in the
branches and territory under his SUI
spervision.
He Is pleased with his new field
from a business standpoint, out ad-
units that there is a great deal Of
work still to be lone to put Fargo
ton the map of the organization where
1T belongs, and with this in view he
will do everything possible towards OBJ
tanning for the branch an assembling
fplant or service station that Fargo
can well be proud of. He is a New
Yorker, a hustler, and has always
been a standpatter for Henry Ford
and Ford policies.

EXPERIENCE OF NOTORIST
WHO USED ACCESSORIES

Several instances have proved to
my own satisfaction that the use of
tire accessories saves tire expense"
says L. c.. Rockhlll, manager automo-
bile tire department. The Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Co.
Mr.. Rockhill was recently in need
Of a tire for his touring car. Instead
Of purchasing a new one he resolved
to make an experiment, the results Of
which are sufficiently interesting to
note. ,
He personally went. down to the
factory n from a pile of old tires
returned, picked one that had been
sent in by a branch and had been re-
placed for SO. The inspection of the
tire adjustor read as follows:
Side walls weakened. due to under
Initiation. Fabric broken and blown
out, due to shock. Customer will not
stand for repair"
The tire was carefully inspected by
Mr.. Rockhill and he decided that it.
was possible to obtain many more
miles OF service. He took it to the,
garage where he had a blowout patch
inserted, and an inside tire protector.
The tube was then inserted and the
tire was placed on the machine.
After the tire had given 1000 miles
1T was not der med safe to run it long
er. All this additional mileage cost
him in tire expense was the cost of the
accessories and the accessories ther1-
selves were in good condition at the
finish, and could be used in other tires.
This Is just an illustration that
shows the amount of tire mileage that
