SOMETHING NEW IN THE
TIRE WORLD.

A genuine sensation has been caused
in the tire trade following an announce
ment by the Michelin Tire company
that they have perfected an entirely
new type of tire, known as the 'EMich-
elm Universal Tread.' This new cas-
ing has been developed so quietly that
nothing has been known about it even
in the trade, yet the company states
that it is the result of experiments and
tests covering a period of over three
years.
These tests were conducted on the
public roads in the vicinity of the fac
! tory, and were most thorough and in
teresting. For example, during the
testing period all the buses owned by
the Brunswick Motor company were
equipped with these new castings. These
vehicles cover one hundred and ninety
two miles daily, not only over the fine
macadam roads between New Bruins
wick, Metuchen and Plainfeld, N. J.,
but also over the rough and sandy roads
on the South River, Old Bridge, Spots
wood, Englishtown and Freehold route.
These severe tests were continued daily,
both summer and winter Then again
private cars belonging to executives of
the company were fitted with Universal
treads, one of these, seven passenger
Lozier used as testing car, having
been driven over one hundred miles
daily, excepting Sundays and holidays
for over two years.
In describing the new Michelin cas-
ing, Mr.. Wahlberg, the local representa-
tive of the Michelin Co., states that
the Universal tread is really combin-
alton of the Michelin racing type fat
tread, having the same characteristic
heavy added tread, and the Michelin
plain tread, a full round tire of so
called oversize" type. The non skid
feature, Mr.. Wahlberg says, is a com
bination of the raised or studded tread
non-skid, with the fiat or suction tread
type. Mr.. Wahlberg, who is very en-
thusiastic Michelin booster, SAYS that
the Michelin company is very conserva-
tive in offering this new casing to the
public only after three years of careful
tests Of the most exhaustive kind, and
for that reason he is ready to endorse
this new tire without qualification.
Word from the factory indicates that
very large demand for this new casing
lis already assured.

the various Overland models. This en-
ables them to make requirements or
take care of any needed repairs on
short notice. They are in a position to
render prompt service that might mean
a delay of days and possibly weeks if
the owner were obliged to communicate
direct with the factory.
just what such service means to the
owner of motor car is best explained
by W. M. Truss, Of San Francisco, who
purchased an Overland car last June
and with three friends drove from the
Pacific Coast to Boston over the Santa
Fe trail and returned over the Lincoln
highway, travelling approximately 10000
miles
In his account of the trip Mr.. Truss
says: TOO much praise cannot be
given the Overland. Their service sys-
tenn is wonder; the chain of service
stations to be found everywhere we
travelled made us feel greatly at ease
and that we were always among
friends
Overland service is continuous ser
vice. It will be able and ready to
serve you next year and in years to
come, as well as today, because it is
backed by an organization of practi-
cally unlimited resources and unques-
toned responsibility. This is an i'm
portant thing to remember when buy
ing a motor car.
A medium priced automobile backed
by efficient service is a better invest
ment than the highest priced car with
out service.

swing into position over the frame with
out loss of time or motion.
The result is that the chassis is built
up piece by piece while it is kept NOV
ing along the tracks toward the paint
shop.
After this operation is completed the
conveyor hauls the chassis into the i'm
mense drying ovens which are similar
in appearance to railroad tunnels.
When the chassis energies from the
other end of this tunnel it is near the
end Of its journey. Wheels with tires
on and all inflated are ready to be
clamped on the instant it leaves the
ovens. Then the enameled parts such
as running boards, tenders and radiators
are put in place, and the chassis is
ready to receive the body from the
floor above.
The producer of no other commodity
is SO entirely dependent upon his prod
uct for the success of his business as
the automobile manufacturer. Upon the
ability of his car to "make goodH in
the hands of users, depends the manu-
facturer's reputation and prosperity.
The average buyer of an automobile
does not possess the technical know
ledge, ability, or the inclination to take
proper care of his machine. He learns
how to operate it, puts in water, gaso-
line and oil, and will keep the car going
until it will not run any further, or the
squeaks and rattles become unbearable
for the lack of attention, if he cannot
have this work done conveniently and
at a reasonable expense.
Manufacturers therefore owe it to
themselves to see that such facilities
are provided conveniently at hand as
will enable owners of their product to
secure assistance or repair parts at the
exact time they are needed, and at a
reasonable cost. This is service
Practically 1000 Overland dealers
are scattered throughout the world
ready and willing to lend their aid to
owners of Overland and Willys-Knight
cars. The army of these dealers in the
United States constitute a service or
ganization so large that it fairly blan-
kets the country.
Overland cars are familiar sights on
the city streets and roads of those coun-
tries known to US only through refer
ence books and moving pictures. Over
land cars are literally running around
the world" And no matter in what
part of the world they may be, there
is doubtless an Overland dealer near at
hand.
These dealers are equipped to give
prompt and efficient service. The ma
Jority of them carry in stock, parts Of

generous capacity for expansion. In
stead of bursting when water freezes in
square tube, the material merely
stretches; the corners filing out into an
irregular curved form. A circular tube
has no capacity for expansion SO when
water freezes in it, the tube is likely
to burst.
They take the. further precaution of
futing each of the miniature squares in
the radiator in order to provide an adj
ditional expansion limit which over
comes any tendency to burst.
And SO it is with every operation in
the manufacture Of Overland cars.
Specialists direct the work and
give attention even to those little
things which seem more or less
unimportant to the owner. With
this careful supervision over every lit
tie detail, it is no wonder that the
WHY'S Overland company has achieved
such wonderful success. It stands first
among the largest producers of medium
priced cars, and operates the largest
single automobile factory in the world
Added to the careful consideration for
the smaller Details and the facilities to
complete car every minute and half
of the "a hours, is the modern manu-
featuring methods in use. These com
bined with the best equipment that can
be bought in the way of automatic ma
chinery and time saving devices, have
done much toward furthering the devel-
opment of this company. Take for ex-
ample the wonderful equipment found
in building rs which is used solely for
the purposes Of manufacturing the
Overland Model rs, which is the latest
and lowest priced car produced by the
Toledo concern.
The entire top floor of the mammoth
structure is given over to body making.
Some idea of the quantity Of lumber
consumed in the woodworking shops can
be gained from the fact that it is posi-
BILE to make 500 bodies a day in this
building alone and as the making of
each body requires 214 board feet of
lumber, this means a daily consumption
of one hundred thousand feet Of this
commodity alone.
AS the bare frames are brought up
from the floor below on constantly NOV
ing ttamways, they are transferred to
the chassis assembly conveyors. A mum
Der of expert mechanics then proceed to
assemble the chassis while the frame
IS moving along with the conveyor.
Each man has one duty to perform and
constant practice in its performance
makes him an adept at the work.
Each operation is timed to the minute

When people speak of specialists you
naturally think of men who hide behind
big, round, tortoise shell-rimmed glasses,
and who are stepped in super knowledge
regarding everything in the world, in
Guiding the human anatomy, the laws Of
nature, mechanics, drugs, astronomy,
and so on.
AS matter Of fact, however, you
will find the majority Of specialists on
the pay roll Of business concerns and
manufacturing plants. They are en-
gagged in analysing and finding practical
solutions Of the innumerable problems
which come up every day in modern
business.
These men are devoting all their time
and energy along one line of thought
They are specializing in one thing
They are able to tell the manufacturer
what the people want, how he can make
and distribute his product most econo-
mically, and even create new markets.
Not being so familiar with other bust
nesses I can only comment upon the
work of the modern business specialist
in the motor car industry. He is the
most important factor in the business.
Engineers, chemists, manufacturing ex-
perts, sales and advertising managers,
financial and transportation experts,
purchasing agents all are classed as
modern business specialists.
1t would matter little what care and
attention were paid to the details Of
manufacture if the rough stock which
enters into the car were not up to the
standard specified by the engineers and
designers Of the car So to protect
themselves and Overland owners, expert
chemists (specialists) are employed to
test carefully each batch of raw mater
ial delivered for use at the factory.
This method has eliminated thousands
Of dollars worth Of stock not up to Over
land standards.
1t took a specialist for instance, to
determine that there was a big varia-
ton in the efficiency of different radia-
tors In the early days of the industry,
motor car radiators were built of almost
any available material that was work
able.
Overland radiators are made of brass,
because brass contains so percent cop
per and 40 percent zinc, and zinc is the
best radiating material suited to the
purpose. AS its combination in this
preparation is the best discovered by
exhaustive experiments, brass radia-
tor furnishes the best cooling surface
that can be provided.
Business specialists also stipulated
that Overland radiators should be con
structed of square futed tubes, with a

Bedding, June 27-The body of
 Miss Abbie Treadwell, aged 50, was found last night in a. swamp near her
 home, just over the Weston line She
 had crawled into a. thicket and cut
 her throat. She had been missing
 since Saturday morning and searching
 parties had repeatedly passed near
 the spot where she lay. Late yester- Tday afternoon searchers returning
 from another part of the swamp pass led on the inside Of thicket and stum-
 bled across the body. Near it lay two butcher knives and whetstone. Miss Treadwell had whetted them to a
 razor edge and then apparently de- cided to use aNsmaIl, very sharp pen knife.
 Miss Treadwe1 was member of an old Weston family. Recently the Treadwen farm in that town was pur-
 chased by the Bridgeport Hydraulic Co Miss Treadwen has been despon- dent over her unsettled prospects and
 had several times expressed her in
 tentfon of taking her life. She made
 her home with Mrs. Columbus Bulk ley, whose helper and companion she was. Saturday morning, accompanied by her dog. which was her insepa ra ble companion, she left the Bulkley home
 That was the last seen of her until her body was found. Wet and be- draggled the dog returned home Sun day night. In the hope that the dog would lead a searching party to its I mistress. the dog was released early Sunday morning, but it ran off so fast that the searchers were unable to follow
