THE BATTLE OF
THE TIRES


agricultural and Commercial rr,ss s%crvieel
IL Is Interesting 10 witch the forces
OF civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liycliest contest of the Twen'
tieth Century.
The struggle is a silent che and
there are no Il correspondents to
write vivid descriptions Of the con.

reaching to present and future gen.
erations than tie war Of Europe.
The rubb r tire has been vancouver.
ing for point OF attack for several
years ana has captured n few unim-
portant positions in traffic, but It has
now pitched a decisive battle with
It's iron competitor by hurting a mil.
lion "~jitneys" at the street railways
and the battle IS raging from ocean
to ocean pom the result Of the
struggle depends the future Of the
rubber tire II II is compelled to re.
treat. its doom is sealed. but II II wins
the battle It will rcyolutioni2e the
transportation methods Of this nation.
II the rubber tire cOnquors the
street traffic It's next struggle Is with
the railroads OF the country. and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces even fought out on the face
Of this earth Is on, for iron is the un'
disputed master in transportation, and
Is fortified behind billions of dollars,
and millions OF men.
Stephenson Applied the steel tire
to an iron rail IN lSli. hut It was 1863
before the golden spike was dri zen
at PromOntory Point, which bound
the country together with bands OF
steel. It took the iron tire iifty.five
years to creep frCai oCean to ocean
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind Of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys
ses. The rotuiDed was already pre-
pared and therein lies the power oi
the rubber tire over that OF iron, fol

OF defeat, and when rubber hurls IL
