TIRE COSTS RUN
into MILLIONS

When motor cars were rare, tire
mileage costs made little difference.

for tires about ope-third OF billion

concern.
About 100000 cars are now regis,
tered in this country, wearing 16,000,.
600 tires. Adding only one mile foT
each tire, to the enormous Inileags
piled up each day by these cars, wocld
save a handsome fortune sor the mo-
florists of the country.

bile tire department, Goodyear Tic

PACKARD SELLS
WORLD OVER in
real fashion

A surprisingly large number OF or
ders for Packard Twin Skies of the
third series have been received from
the Hawaiian islands. Cuba, China.
Spain. Brazil and Argentina, despite
the fact that excepting in Cuba and
Brazil, even the dealers have not seen
the new cars. The sales have been
made entirely on the Packard's repu-
tation and the descriptive literature
that has been sent out.
The policy of the Packard Co. on
foreign business seems to have
pleased all Of the countries with
which trade relations are being es.
tablished. Fred Cardway. manager
Of the export department, recently
outlined the policy as follows:
American manufacturers want the
good will of foreign nations and for
eign commerce. They do not intend
by any means to build up export
trade on the basis of present unset
tied conditions which exclude Euro
pean competition. .-..- .
The great brains OF Americans
acknowledge the necessity of keeping
in closer touch with other nations,
promoting better understanding and
friendly relations.
Americans know that they cannot
buy good will, but they also know
that they can earn consideration and
friendship of other countries by doing
the right thing. ."...
The Packard Motor Car Co., con-
sidering probable international de-
Yelopments and anxious to be a con.
structiye factor in them, recently or
ganized its export department. Visi-
tors from foreign lands always find
a friendly reception"

ESTIMATES OF CAR OWNERSHIP,

Government experts estimate that
there are now in this country i,400.-
600 owners of passenger automo-
biles that cost at the time of the
original purchase $500 or less each;
100000 owners who paid between
$500 and $1,000 for their cars; 1872.
900 in the $1,000 to $4,000 class and
221 900 having cars of which the list
price was between $4,000 and $4,000.
There are also in use, of course, many
thousands of cars that cost originally
more than $1,000.

So many people arc now buying
cars, who know comparatively little
about cars or tires, that IL Is not sur.
prising that merciless abuse is heaped
upon them" he says. Hardly one
motorist in hundred appreciates the
terrific strain on tires when travelling
at high speed over ordinary roads.
Your tires may Withstand shock equal
to 10 tons weight when running at a
speed Of % mics an hour over country
roads, and little later You have a
blowout when running over a perfect
ly smooth street. Something has hap
pened. What was IL?
This is what happened. The ter

affect the exterior OF the tire. Had

lowed and the blowout resulted.

especially II the brakes do rot hold
properly. Many drivers make no pre-
tense of slowing up for car tracks or

breaks which rob the tire of many
miles that were built into it at the

should be easier for drivers to OBJ

The selection Of the allweather
tread of big diamond-shaped blocks on
Goodyear tires had behind it more
than desire for an attractive appear
ance and a distinctive design. Scien-
tific reasons largely dictated its
choice Skidding usually occurs at an
angle of about IS degrees to the d.
rection of the car. so the slip-resisting
block edges Of the non-skid tread were
placed at an angle OF As degrees, which
resulted in the diamond shape.
