ALCORT INSTALLS
TRUCK TIRE SERVICE

To enable owners Of motor trucks
equipped with solid tires 70 have ac-
cess to the same service which they
could obtain in Los Angeles, Jack A.
corn. president Of the Alcorn Rubber
Company. has installed 2 complete
system of motor truck tire serv-
ice.
This includes not only ali the neces-
sary tools and equipment Tor taking
eff ard applying solid tires but COM
plete stock of truck tires as well.
After making this arrangement
with the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company, through their representa-
tive, G. L. Wands, Mr.. Alcorn said:
For several years have watched
the growth OF the motor truck IN e.
Centre and realized that the time had
come when some one would see th3
necessity Of establishing motor truck
tire service department to give the
owners OF motor trucks in this CITY
real service. and I made up my mind
that I would be the first one TO make
4 move of this kind.
Outside Of the larger centers, there
are very few cities in the country
where the dealers carry stocks Of truck
tires, and for this reason the business
has been going to the places where
they are carried, but I soon realized
that ! could not only keep this business
hers ii e Centre, but could do so at
