BY e e. BODICE

The Won Hamm- Young Company has
just finished installing 21o-ten tire
press, which is to be used to press
solid rubber tires On and off of motor
truck wheels. ~ ~. -<..-.
The manufacturers of solid motor
truck tires have found that the tires
which are pressed onto the wheels are
far more efficient than those which
have been fastened on by hugs and
bolts, or in other words, the dsmount.
able type. - 3
Most trucks now have Their tires
pressed onto the wheels under enof-
nous pressure, which insures sound
fastening and solid foundation all
around the wheel at all times.
It is with the intention of pressing
the tires off the wheels and pressing
new ones on that the Won Hamm-
Young Company has installed the new
press. 49,
This press was made .oy the Nor.
gan & Wright Tire Company and is
operated by oil pumps, which are
driven by an electric motor. r. ~
The Won Hamm- Young Company has
put itself to considerable expense and
trouble to install this gigantic press
to answer the demands of the late
developments of truck building.
Operators of motor trucks in this
territory will now be able to use this
new type of tire, which costs the same
as the old type, but gives far more
mileage. @ s .
This company at all times is en-
deavoring to give the best service to
the public and has never spared any
expense to accomplish this end
The owners of trucks located on
the other islands desiring to use the
new type of tire can ship their wheels
to the Won Hamm-Young Company,
which will press new tires on and
ship the wheels back on the same
steamer. ~
The operation of pressing these
tires en- only takes very short time
and is not on expensive operation. It
also saves the owner the previous ex-
pense of the steel Tugs, bolts, rings
and attachments Of the demountable
type of tire. ...=-
