and patented, a mechanical autOmO-
bile tire which viii do away with the

punetures and blow-outs, addressed
the Commercial Club luncheon, FRI

for which he will give good real es-
tate security. Mr.. Ferris asked for
no donations, whatever. In his state
ment he said he would place six OF
seven men at work at once and about
twenty-five in four months If he sc.
cured the loan.He desires $500 fol
twelve months and a like amount fol
eighteen months.
