PREVENT Tire WORRY
WITH use OF KORKER
American Tire Sales Company Will
Install This Preventive in Tubes
Bought from Them.

In the Patent Office today there are
probably the relics of more lost hopes.
SO far as the automobile is concerned,
than there are unstable patents Of
any other description. Many Of these
patents that have not proved out in
actual use have been in connection
with tires and devices to obviate pune
lures. Substitutes for air, either Of
the filler type or cushion rubber de-
vices. have not proven successful on
pleasure cars.
The high speeds at which this type
of machine is often driven have proven
the death of them. Ability to respond
after a road shock in the way of a
stone. rut or other obstruction on the
smooth surface of the highway, has
been the success of air. With the use
of air, however, there has always been
the danger of punctures, the ban of
the motorist. II there Is one thing
that the average owner detests it is
tire trouble.
Recently there has come to the city
a concern which has demonstrated to
more than 700 car owners OF Washing
ton the fact that there has been dis
covered a process by which the ordi-
nary tire troubles OF the road can be
obviated. The substance is known as
Korker, and is guaranteed to prevent
punctures. So much did the American
Tire Sales Company think OF this that
when they opened their distributing
point in Washington, they agreed to
install it free of charge for one week

chased from them. George Meeley. for
