From Minneapolis Visit Toledo
Factory as Guests of WHY'S
Overland Company.

A big, special train, made up en-
tirely Of Pullman coaches. dining and
buffet cars, which pulled out Of Min
n~eapolis early Wednesday with 14S
Overland dealers on board, arrived
in Toledo, o., early Thursday morn
ing.
These men, with F. N. Coates, man
ager of the Overland Minneapolis sales
zone, in charge of the dealers spe-
cial, are from different parts OF the
northwest in. which their respective
territories are located. They come to
the home Of the Overland as guests OF
John n. WHY'S, president OF the
WHY'S Overland Company.
Realizing that 1t is enthusiasm
which moves such an enormous pro-
duction OF automobiles as the Over
land, and that this force can best be
fostered in the breast Of every man
by a visit to the Overland factory, the
officials of the Willys-O Overland Com
pany chartered a special train to
bring this small army Of dealers to
the great plant here in Toledo where
Overland cars are manufactured.
While these men are all enthusiastic
Overland dealers, many Of whom have
piled up big selling records, there are
a number among them who at this
time are paying their first visit to
the Overland factory. And for that
very reason 1t is all the nor impress
sive. Others who were here within
.only the last year are astonished at
the enormous additions which have
been made to the plant
AS soon as the Overland dealers
special arrived, it was switched on to
a private track right in the Overland
factory where the guests were vel
coined by company officials. A talk
was given on the Willys-Knight mo-
tor and the morning spent in inspect
ing parts Of the factory and seeing at
first hand how quality is built into
every Overland car.
After being entertained at luncheon,
the factory trip was resumed and con-
tinued throughout the afternoon.
A dinner was given Thursday night
in their honor after which they at
tended the theater.
Friday was also spent In Toledo.
Breakfast was served aboard their spe-
cial train, after which they were taken
on a tour of inspection through the
plants Of the Electric Auto-Lite Com
nany and the Tillotson Manufacturing
Company.
They left Friday night aboard their
special and arrived in Chicago in
time to attend the opening of the au-
tomobile show.
The final lap of the return journey
was taken up Saturday night, when
they pulled out of Chicago for Mime
apolis.
From the start to the finish Of their
trip, they lived on board the Overland
dealers special. where everything pos
sible had been provided for their COM
fort.

CARE
OF AUTO TIRES
Tires Should Be Properly IN
fIated during the Winter
Months for Best Wear.

"The winter season seems 70
strengthen the properly inflated tire"
says an official Of the Fisk Rubber
Company.
'Under imitation IS responsible for
a large percentage Of tire expense"
"Most motorists think that during
the summer months they should ride
their tires at low pressure to prevent
blowouts. The decreasing Of the.
pressure does not decrease the heat
ing Of the tire, but rather increases
II, as the side walls r subjected TO
a greater bending strain and friction
between. the layers Of fabric gensr
ates heat. Due to this excessive fex-
ing the fabric cracks and loosens up
to such an extent that the tire be-
comes weakened. The cracked and
fabric ruins the inner tube"
aDuring the winter season, the mo
torist does not let the air Of his tires
as he does in the summer, but alloVa
his tires to have a greater and mora
constant air pressure; hence. the per
centage Of tires consigned to the
scrap heap is much less IN winter
than in summer.

Advertisements Should Be
Truthful and Not Mis-
leading.

1--WE believe in advertising. as an
economical factor in the marketing
of tires and other comodities to con-
sumers," says an official Of the B. F.
Goodrich Company.
1--WE believe, too, that the value
of'each line Of advertising space, paid
for, depends not only upon the mes
sage which fills that space, but, ulti-
mately upon the degree of TRUTHFUL
ness and good-faith within the mes
sage. We believe that Q whole indus
try may be raised up, or lowered
down, in public confidence by the
general average of t%ruthfulness and
sincerity in the advertising used by
that industry.
eve believe that, a chronic atmos-
phere of half-truth, too deterous ma
nipulation Of facts for expedieney,
and a continuous stretching Of the
truth in an effort Ito beat the devil
around the BUSH" might cost all adj
yertisers, In a certain industry, half
the possibilities OF their appropria-
ton. We believe that many adver-
tisers realize this fact, as We do, but
hesitate to express it, lest such eS-
preston be deemed 'unethical.'
"The ethics OF Advertising so
vaguely defined that each interprets
them for himself, seem generally
cursed with the same ~insincerity and
expediency as that advertising IL
cense' which is the excuse for In
sincerity and truth-stretching in ad-
yertising itself.
"Under these ethics 1t Is, for In
stance, considered bad form to, in
any way, directly or indirectly, refer
to competitors, no matter how much
they may dexterously transgress the
truth. regarding a market which Is
the common property Of all who sell
the same product.
"But, per contra, these ethics ev-
identity admit of any advertiser claim
ing for his product, as exclusive fea-
lures. such features as are common
to all, or to others, who make the
same grade of product-the theory
of this kind OF advertising being that
he who boldly claims that feature
through the widest publicity, is In
ferred by the public to be the only
manufacturer who has that feature In
his product-in other words, to de-
ceiye the public into thinking that his
is the only product on the market
possessing that feature.
Apparently this is considered eth
icap In advertising. although 1t is de-
liberately intended to deceive the
reader and by false ~pretences take
away from other manufactures OF

BANKERS AT Q
Many of the Most Prominent
Bankers of United States
Were Present.

Probably the most notable tribute
the banking industry has ever paid an
automobile manufacturer was accord
ed recently to John North WHY'S, OF
Toledo, when he was guest Of honor
at a dinner given by Elisha Walker,
OF William Solomon and Company,
New York.
The dinner given in his honor was
attended by many Of the most prom
inent bankers in the United States.
Mr.. Walker, the host, made an infor-
NAL speech in which he explained that
the sole purpose Of the dinner was to
give the bankers present a chance to
meet n of the real giants in the
automobile industry.
MIR. WHY'S is the head Of the big
WHY'S Overland Company, of Toledo,
and with one exception is the largest
builder of motor cars in the world.
The history of his remarkable sue
cess reads like a chapter from Monte
Cristo." Starting in as the head Of
the Overland concern, when the auto
mobile industry was still in an ex-
detrimental stage, he built up in less
than ten years one of the greatest in
dustrial organization in the world.
His factory in Toledo has the facili-
ties for producing 1000 motor cars
every twenty-four hours and the 1916
output will have a value Of 100000
600.
Among the prominent men who at
tended the dinner were Frank A. Van

Commerce; E. G. Merrill, president

feature) part of the market which,
on the merits of the goods, rightful-
ly belong them.
Apparently, too, 1t Is considered
'unethical' for the other manufac-
turer to even protest against this In
their own advertising, or to show up
in print over their own names, the
deception practiced against their own
market by the untruthful claims OF
ethical competitors.
1.-THE only course left open to the
injured manufacturer 0f he wishes
to be considered 'ethical') is to sit
still and let his truth-stretching COM
petitor thus steal his market-or
through the same kind Of ethical ad-
yertising, claim all the things his
competitor claimed. and somewhat
'outstretch' his in the claiming Of
them.
We do not believe that this is good
for the ultimate interest of advertis-
ing in general or for. tire selling in
particular. For the advertiser in the
end must pay the piper for all the
stretching Of advertising through
discounted credence. {
I'VE are promptedto make a state
ment like this, because we think 1t
a wholesome subject for the tire in
dustry to consider.
I'VE are not assuming a 'holler
than thou attitude nor indulging In
a plea for good principle alone
though that alone should justify 1t.
I'VE say 1t because we believe
that many other worthy advertisers
think 1t and would gladly cooperate
with it, II some set the pace, as a
sound business policy, for multiply
ing results from advertising for all
tire advertisers.
I'VE say it, too, because the Good
rich Company, more than other tire
manufacturing concerns, has suffered
damage from competitive advertising
which claimed or implied claim to, ex-
elusive features in product, equip
ment or method, which features had
long been common with us, as the
daddy of all tire building concerns.
when a rubber concerns makes,
for instances. 100000 tires in q
year and then advertises to have a
far greater output than any other tire
maker In America, 1t is mighty try
ing for another rubber concern (the

makes more than 2,950,000 tires In
