vvnere Cyclones Originate.


The most violent cyclones originate
IN tropical ATTITUDES, in the Atlantic
ocean to the north and east of: West
Indian islands, and in the Pacific, in
the China sea and7in the neighborhood
of the Philippine islands.
The reason they are so destructive
&c because they are carried such great
distances by extraneous Influences The
West Indian cyclones are attracted
toward the Gulf stream by the great
volume of heated air which always
hangs over -it~and follows its course
so the cyclones Of the Pacific follow
the course Of Kuro Siwo, the great
oceanic current which passes around
the East Indian archipelago, the shores
of China and the Japanese islands. .,

Notwithstanding our epoch-making sales increases

These record-breakng sales increases of 1917
over 1916 and our record-breakng sales in
creases of 1916 over 1915 definitely and finally
prove three facts:
l. The supremacy of United States Tires.
2. The fact that the vast army of automobile
owners who used United States Tires in 1916
are using them in 1917 on the sheer merit of
their experience.
3. The fact that another vast army of automobile
