TIRE OFFSETS RISE
IN GASOLINE PRICES

With the price of gasoline soaring,
when the car owner figures his cost
of upkeep. next in Importance to gas
oline comes the cost of tires. One
come to the front and made a long
forward stride toward reducing the
cost of gasoline through a tire CON
struction which greatly reduces in
ternal friction.
This largest rubber factory in Am
erica, the B. f. Goodrich company Of
Akron, O., rightfully credited with
making the first pneumatic tire on
this continent, in a recent announce
ment traced their present Silyertown
Cord Tire back to the Palmer prin-
ciple of construction used in bicycle
tires way back in 1892.
In doing away with the thread fab

ing the 35X5 size as an example, each
cord is strong enough to sustain the
weight of a 250-pound man. The
Silvertowns also differ from the for

Racing Tests Prove Endurance.
The recent Silvertown racing rec

strength. endurance and enormous
mileage power of Silvertown construc-

Another supreme test of the Silver
towns was made by Ralph Mulford on
May 4 at the Sheepshead Bay race
track, when he maintained an average
speed of over 76 miles an hour for
1900 miles without changing a tire.
Big Savings For Car owners.
The private car owner will be in
terested to know that the Goodrich
company claims it can easily prove
about % per cent saving in gasoline
bills, while adding about II per cent
net efficiency in power and speed. AT
the present price of gasoline, the %
per cent saving claimed on this one
item alone is we'll worth the serious
consideration of the car owner.

Wives are such doubtful critters sometimes.

times copious tobacco chewing didn't seem TO do

Why don't you go TO dentist and have them

Hank also had a teasing little pain in his right

he explained to Sally. But somehow Il was

And shortly after that Hank died Of rheuma.
