CAR OWNERS hSK
 NORE EACH YEAR

Each year brings the motor car owner new knowledge which enables him to operate his car more success fully with fewer repairs and less main- tenance cost than before" says MT Pafford of the Schweitzer Machine company, local representatives of the Willard Storage Battery company. This is being brought about by the tireless effort of manufacturers who realize that good service is essential to the increasing popularity and per formances of their products"
 In this respect the Willard Storage Battery company has rather unique problem to solve due to the fact that a storage battery is not purely electrical. A thorough knowledge of storage bat teries involves both electrical and chemical education, and such knowl- edge is possessed by very few of the ordinary mechanics. For this reason the Willard people have established service stations all over this country, each one of which is conducted by an expert battery renair man with the proper farilities for doing all kinds of storage battery work By conducting such service stations and making the motoring public acquainted with. this fact, they have made it possible for the car owner to be sure of the kind of

3O.00O CARS IN 1917
 |S CHiLMERS FIGURE

With one of the largest manufac- turing plants in the country and a manufacturing schedule Of 3OOO0 cars for 1917, it is hard to realize that the Chalmers factory just nine years ago consisted of one building in thirty acres of Michigan prairie says w. L. Asnew, director of advertising for the Chalmers. Motor company.
 For the past eight years, there has scarcely been a month when some new ition to the Chalmers plant has not been in the course of construction" continued Mir. Agnew. During the first fiscal year of the company. 5000 of the famous old four cylinder Chal- mers sos were turned out. Today those same 1909 cars are still piling up the mileage. Many of them have over 200 000 miles to their credit "Old Re- liable" the first Chalmers 30 built has passed the 300 900 milestone and is still going
 At the present time the 30 acres of land on which the factory was located arc covered with 9 giant factory buildings manned by 6,500 workers Many departments are working on full tWenty-four hour schedule Within the past year a huge main building has brought the total area of floor space up to S25,O square feet Re, cent purchases of additional property and proposed new buildings will again increase the magnitude of the plant in 1917.
 We confidently look forward to the greatest year in our history and are preparing for it on a larger scale than ever before. Chalmers dealer repre- sentatiOn has been increased greatly and competition for desirable territory is rapidly closing the few remaining points now open"

service he is getting, no matter where he is located
 This kind of service backs up the educational measures already ad- vanced for the personal care of bat teres and makes the car owner feel that the manufacturer of his storage battery is doing all in his power to lengthen the life of that battery and to give the car owner greatest eff ciency at the lowest cost of mainten- ance. That these things are appreci- ated by the car owner is evidenced by the large volume of business handled by these service stations"

H0W's Y0UR TIRE?
 TELL T ID SAVAGE

In a recent interview, H. N. Mabery. secretary and treasurer of the Savage Tire corporation, outlined a new and rather unique plan to secure the maxi mum of careful construction in the Savage plant. In an advertisement soon to appear in all publications in which Savage tire advertising is running, tire users are asked to report cases of ex- ceptionally good mileage given by Savage tires. They are requested to

hovs how to obtain the greatest ben eft from their bicycles, and sports other than bicycling are encouraged as well.
 The national organization is known as the Fisk Bicycle clubs of America. There is a monthly maga- zine which is devoted solely to the interests of these clubs. Considerable valuable equipment is given to club members flee Of charge
 1t is believed that no less than 25 900 boys will be enrolled in these bicycle clubs before the summer is over.
Arizona republican., 1917-04-01

send the serial number on any tire that has given a service of 1000 miles or more.
 According to MT. -Mabery. big per- centage of Savage tires sold, give at least this length of service. No class of people appreciates good service more than the auto owner and none is more prompt in placing credit where credit is iUe.
 DIt may be expected that some tire users will not report, but we can count upon the cooperation of more, and are confident that we shall have a big number of mileage reports. Owners who get 10000 or 12,00O miles of ser vice will, almost without exception, be interested in seeing that the fellows on whose good work this service so largely depends, are given credit for it."

BICYCLE CONE9
 BACK;; 600,000
 S0LD IN 1918

The rapid return of the bicycle to popular favor is attested to ty the amazing increa SC in the demand for new bicycles. Last year over 600,000 of the two- wheelers were placed in the hands of boys and girls of the United States and an even greater demand hes been indicated for thl- year.
 In view of this situation, many of the old-time bicycle men have ex- pressed a hope that bicycle clubs such as ahounded everywhere during the late niletics might be revived
 It is tr' e that bicycle clubs are booming everywhere. At present over ten thousa nd boys are enrolled in the Fisk F cycle clubs which are fos- tered by the Fisk Rubber company If Chicopee Falls, Mass.
 The plan of organization of these clubs is gwen on request to inter- ested boys in the form of an attrac- tive little booklet entitled the Fisk Club Manual There are no dues or assessments in this organization, the crly requi',ite to membership being that a by shall own bicycle Every effcrt is made to show the
