the Balanced Tire
The greatest forward step
ever made in pneumatic tires
On January 9Th, in the Saturday Evening Post, we
| announced that at last we had made pneumatic rubber
tires more like other dependable articles Of merchandise.
Stop and analyze this statement-"mor like other
dependable articles of merchandise"
Unless backed up by results, it would be almost
commercial suicide for a tire manufacturer to make
such a statement.
Now we are ready to tell you the reason for this
fearless confidence in our tires-the reason for the
gigantic sales increases of our tires since September last.
producing the completely balanced pneumatic tre-the
heretofore unattainable goal of every tire manufacturer.
To be 100 Per cent. efficient, tire must be absolutely
balanced that is, the rubber tread and the fabric
carcass of the tire must give equal wear.
Balance the tire makers goal
To have perfect balance the rubber tread must
have enough resiiency to absorb road shocks that tend
to dsintegrate the fabric, and still must have the
%toughness to give long wear.
Too much ~toughness reduces resiiercy; too much
resilency sacrifices %touehness. Problem - find the
'balance.'
Full rubber.tread efficiency demands a $3.50
balance of resliency and %toughness.
Full fabric-carcass efficiency demands a $3.50
balance of fabric layers and rubber - union that
will make tread separation impossible.
Full, complete tire efficiency demands a $3.50
balance of the rubber tread and the fabric carcass
neither may be stronger or weaker than the other.
This is the goal we have reached
toughness in the tread, and between fabric and rubber in the
carcass, " e have secured 100 per cent efficiency in United States
Indviduaized Tires, or absolute balance of wearing quality in
both rubber tread and fabric carcass.
BY September last, these absolutely balanced United States
Tires began to be felt o N the market
the recent highest increase of 354 per cent-this tells the story.

American and Mexican
Cables i'm River.

The great rome o. submarine cables
which runs beneath the Brooklyn
Bridge. connecting many downtown tel
ophonc systems OF Manhattan and
Brooklyn. was snapped at 1920 o'clock
last night by the dragging anchor OF
the United Fruit Company's steamship
the Almirante. The Mexican cable and
cables 10 South America, which were
in the same line, were also affected for
a time.
Immediately something akin TO panic
cnsued in the Offices OF the telephone
and cable companies. Almost before
the distressed skipper Of the Almirante
had taken stock Of the damage wrought
bv the big bow anchor, which had been
dropped when the tugs bringing the
vessel 20 her pier had accidentally
ahmed their hsvsers, an army Of en-
gineers and linemen was racing toward
the trouble zone.
From the companies, later in the
evening, came the promise that the last
cable would be spliced before morning.
Hundreds Of telephone conversation

as the cable parted. The parties
being unable. for reasons the operators
COULDN'T themselves explain. 10 regain
