equipped with the "puncture-proof"
tires being manufactured by the Lam
bert Multiplus Co., of Oakland, Cal.
They are from all appearances des-
tined to solve the tire problem Of
autoists. They are composed of
strong rubber fiber so closely COM
pressed as to form complete cush-
ion equal in comfort to the pneumatic
tires, if not even better, and many
times more durable. It is claimed for
them that one set of them will last
practically as long as the ordinary au-
tomobile. They have no inner tube to
blow out and they look like a bit bet
ter on car than the pneumatic tires.
The advent of these tires into this
part of the country is causing a
great deal of interest to be manifested
in them by autoists generally and sew
eral cars have been equipped with
them already. The afternoons ride
was real treat.
