GENERAL TIRE is
NOW STOCKED HERE

The first shipment Of general tires. which
will be distributed in the southwest by the
Cactus Motor company, has been received
here. The new tire Is now on display and
it differs from any other tires now on the
market
The tire is much lighter than the average
tire Of equal size. Manager E. r. Wiseman,
Of the Cactus company. explains this by
stating that the General has five per cent
OF mineralized rubber and only seven per
cent Of zinc. against five per cent Of min
eralized rubber Is per cent OF reclaimed
rubber and 80 per cent % zinc lin the next
high grade tire Mr.. Wiseman puts it.
The small percentage Of zinc gives il light
weight and Mr.. Wiseman claims that the
General tire will not deteriorate with axe
but will retain its resiliency at all times
Genuine Sea island cotton is used in the
fabric." said Mr. Wiseman.

SAVAGE AGENT HAS
FEW ADJUSTMENTS

we have had hut one real adjustment
since taking over the Savage tire agency Just
six months ago" said l. N. Duensing. Of the
Motor Car Supply company. And you
mustn't get the idea that we have only
few tires in use. either II was rather hard
work introducing a new tire for the first
couple of months. but our business during
the past four months has been growing
steadily and we can now claim to have
fair share OF the FL Paso tire trade.
The adjustment was on one Of those tires
which will slip through any factory The
rubber was moulded while too moist and did
not adhere property 20 the fabric. When
attention was called to it. we at once gave
the customer n new casing.
THE Savage tire Is standing the hard and
rough roads OF the southwest in an excellent
manner. The tire is made IN California.
where paved highways are more common
than rocky roads and the guarantee is based
on results i'm California. The fact that we
have had only one adjustment here shows
that the Savage. under fair conditions. Will
far exceed the mileage guarantee,

card from W. J. Rand. stating that the
Rand touring party had reached Los
Angeles without mishap
Two years ago Mr. Rand expert

four tires. When he was starting out
this year he equipped all round with
Lees and he writes that he's still rid
