States?
OF course you haven't for 1T wasn't

first time you ever heard of 1t.
1t remained for a veteran Pullman
vintage of 1909, to accomplish the un-

crossed the Lincoln Highway, accord
ing to word received by L. A. wallace.
local representative OF the Pullman
line.
About a month ago Henry A. Reid.
of Santa Rosa, Cal, decided he wanted
some Eastern climate. He told his
friends that he was going to make the
trip by motor in the car he had already
driven $4,000 miles. His friends pointed
out thousand and one pitfalls that
would come his way if he attempted
such q long tour in an old car
But Mr.. Reid was determined. He
knew his 1909 model Pullman better
than anybody - his devout faith in it
paved the way. The car made good,
some tire trouble being his only diff
Guilty on the long trip.
Arriving in Waterville, N. Y, he
visited his friend of years standing,
w. G. Mclean. a wealthy and influential
merchant of the upstate town. Mr..
Mclean persuaded Mr.. Reid to sell him
the car.

Cadillac Eight Climbs
Mt. DiabIo on High Gear

Carrying four passengers. a photog-
rapher's outfit. spare tire and with all
tanks practically full, a Cadillac Eight
recently climbed Mount Diablo, in Cali
fornia. on high gear thus establishing a
record.
The climb is ten miles long and the
Cadillac KS the first motorcar ever to
MAKE IL on high gear carrying more
than one passenger. The total weight
o1~the passengers was 706 pounds. Re-
ports from San Francisco say the car
negotiated the climb with such ease
that it is believed it could have car
ried its capacity OF seven persons. Mo-
toring circles In the California metro
polls regard it as a hard demonstra-
ton for car to climb Mt. DiabIo on
high with only one passenger. At all
times during its ascent the Cadillac had
reserve power. never being pressed to
make the grade.

Akron, Rubber Capital Of
World, Has Big Industries

The position of Akron, Ohio, as the
Rubber Capital of the World has
been so we'll established in the pubhc
mind that it is doubtful whether any
one would question seriously the claims
of the rapidly growing Buckeye city TO
the distinction 1t has won. recent
valuation of Akron industries for prop
erty taxation, completed by the audit
ing department of the country in which
the city is located. brings out with
striking clearness the predominance or
the rubber manufacturing industry over
any other of the many that nave
brought about an increase of appoXi-
mate1y 900 per cent. in the population
of Akron during the past ten years.
The taxable value of the great plant
of the e. It. Goodrich Company alone
amounts to almost half of the total
of s43,S96,440 placed upon the 1853 in
dustries located in Akron and Summit
| county When it Is remembered that
included in these 16S industries are such
concerns as the Diamond Match Com
pany and the Quaker Oats Company, 1t
| is possible to get an idea of the Inn
mensity of the Goodrich Company's es-
| tablishment.
Specifically, the amount assessed
against the B. +. Goodrich Company is
| s20,3e2,830, by far the largest of any
single industry in the list. 1t is, in
fact, about three times as great as the
valuation of the plant which is next
in Importance.
Just how the rubber manufacturing
| business dominates in Akron, and the
immensity of 1t, is shown by figures
given in a recent article in one of
Akron's newspapers. from which the
| following figures are obtained:
"rotal valuation of all Akron and
Summit county industries. $4s,ss6.440
"The B. f. Goodrich Company. $780,
392.s3O.
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company,
$7.631,7S0.
"Firestone Tire and Rubber Company,
$4,964,9s0.
"Keliy Springfield Tire Company. ST.
371, ,s30.
MILLER Rubber Company. st.121.e1
| Portage Rubber Company, 1891, $3.50.
"Swinehart Rubber Company, $780,
270.
a total of sss.22o.5s credited to the
rubber manufacturing industry. more
than four-f1fths of the entire manu-
featuring activities of Akron and its
suburbs.
The position of Akron as the great
est rubber manufacturing center in the
world is due to the fact that forty
seven years ago DR.. B. T.. Goodrich Sc
lected the then unimportant town as a
favorable site for small factory which
he established for the production of
high class rubber goods. From the
original Goodrich factory has grown
the immense industry carried on by the
B. +. Goodrich Company to-day, the
production of high-c1ass rubber goods
being now, as 1t was at the start, the
first principle in policy that has
brought about one of the most re-
markable Industrial developments OF
the century

the Importance of keeping his car in

The jitneys keep me guessing.
