RED SKINS" NOTED
FOR DURABILITY

Motor car users have found that
no matter how tough or how strong
the outer casing OF an automobile
tire is, unless the inner tube is skill
fully made OF the best materials the
result will be disaster. and expert
enced tourists know that bad fortune
generally comes TO the motorist when
he is far from home and almost as
often when he is far from relief
With these ideas in mind. tire makers
have for a long time been trying to
reach perfection in the construction
of inner tubes. The Federal Rubber
Company, of Milwaukee. believes
that they have in their Redskin tubes
the best tire tubes in the world.
These tubes are noted for their ex-
ceptional durability. Only the best
pure gum is used in their making.
but the curing is done by new and
improved methods. The Federal
Rubber Company's experts have
learned how to retain all the natural
elasticity of the rubber and at the
same time give it an added tough
ness, which means the strength ant
lasting power to endure long and
hard service which cannot be oh
tanned from rubber cured by the Ole
methods.

Phenomenal GROWTH
OF FORD PLANT

The phenomenal growth of the
business of the Ford Motor Company
during the past year is always one
OF the foremost subjects wherever
anything relating to the progress of
American industries is concerned. In
the development of the automobile
industry the Ford Motor Company
undoubtedly stands head and should
crs above the great number of other
concerns interested in the manufac-
ture of motor-cars. Beginning in
1903, with a small one-story building
in Detroit, a business has been built
up that now runs into tens of mill
lions of dollars annually. With
branches. service stations. agencies
and other representatives in almost
every section of the globe, they have
in many places caused the word
Ford" to become synonymous with
the word automobile" In most
parts of this country alone one can
scarcely travel so miles without com
ing across a Ford agency. Almost
every large city of national promi-
nence contains a branch house, each
of which does a business, the volume
of which runs from million to six
and seven millions annually.

Captain Johnny Evers, of the

friends one evening with some
stories. In due course of time he
brought up the subject of stolen
bases

Evers.

There's another thing to that
base-stealing angle. Fast men are
great all right. / admit that point
But | suppose we had more than So
men on our club at one time or an
other this season. II remember
our record showed about 1879 stolen
bases for the club.
THAT would be an average OF less
than three stolen bases per man
How do you account for 1t all?
Perhaps base stealing isn't the
whole thing in baseball
Another proof that base stoalinf
is over-cstimated is furnished by
this years American league b0ttinf
averages. In the team batting New

The ancient query. "will wonders

in regard TO the American automo-

thought that the last word had been
reached in the production of new

been improving the quality of their

larity, always and forever giving the
purchaser more for his money. With

PAIGE WINTER
TOPS MAKE HIT

Putting the car up for the Winter
or for even a portion of it, is get
ting to be a thing of the past, as is
also the necessity for the profession
al man to own both an open and
closed car in order that he may drive
in comfort the entire year" said
Sales Manager Henry Krohn, of tho
Paige Company
THE Winter top has proved to be
one of the most welcome develop
ments in the motor car field. Il en-
ables the owner of a touring car or
roadster to secure all the advantages
and comforts of a closed car during
the cold Winter months at very
reasonable price.
THE Paige lNStor Car Company
recently brought out a quick detach-
able Winter top for both touring car
and roadster models, and the re-
merkably hearty reception which
these tops have met with has been
truly astonishing.
you would be surprised if you
knew how many motor car owners
who buy new car every Spring are
rot waiting for the mild weather to
come this year. but arc buying their
1915 car with a Winter top right now
thereby getting the use and pleasure
of the new car and at the same time
the benefit of a closed car through
the cold weather.
These new Paige tops are excep
tionally neat in appearance, there is
none of that ugly 'over-hang' They
were not only built especially to fl
Paige cars, but they were designed
to harmonic in every curve and line
with the car itself. AS a result they
have become an integral part of thC
