DRAWbAR PULL VG.
 CARRYING POWER
 IS DEMONSTRATED

When you were small child you probably had a little tin express wagon like most youngsters have,' says H. c. Bennett, local dealer for the Utility trailer and you may or may not have noticed that you could very easily pull your little sister or brother in it. Did it ever occur to you that it would have been en- tirely beyond your physical abilities to carry in your arms one or both of them at the same timer"
 There's something about motor truck or car," continued MT. Bennett. that many owners have overlooked in calculating it's efficiency. which represents unsuspected power. Stated in paradox, when ones motor vehicle is full it is nearly empty. State in actual fact, for every ton or portion of a ton that a motor vehicle carries on it's chassis, it can pull or haul from four to five times that amount on properly constructed trailers.
 pulled load is receiving much con- sideration in motor transportation circles, and all the evidence presented proves the efficiency and economy of the pulled load in the majority of instances where heavy continuous duty is a prime requisite instead of speed.
 For proof of the merits of the hauled load, we need look no further than our old-time servant, the horse, and his working ability. Now SUD- pose we tried to put an average load, say one ton, on the horses back, what would happen? Break it? Of course it would be impossible. But now suppose we put the ton load in well constructed vehicle and hitch the horse to it and we find the load requires very little pull to move it.
 "A truck of one and one-haIf tons capacity can carry it's capacity and pull six additional tons; or this ton and half truck has a hauling ca 1 pacity of seven and one-half tons all told. This is because in addition to carrying capacity every motor ve- hicle has another and far more i'm portant power; namely, draw bar pull.
 Tt is draw-bar pull that moves the worlds goods, and don't confuse draw-bar pull with carrying capacity. When a horse pulls a ton load on a wagon, he does not exert a ton of pull. Put your load on wheels and for every ton of load to be moved only sixteen to twenty pounds of drawbar bull is required; provided the roadway is fairly. level and the

same shape as the walls. Machine manufacturing concerns by the dozen said that to produce such a tire was an impossibility, but John Palmer and his associates were undaunted and after months of patient effort they produced a weaving machine that did the work.
 The result of MT. Palmer's work is the Palmer safety cord tube. which consists of this Sea Island cord mesh vulcanized within the walls of the tube itself, giving the tube sufficient strength to withstand enormous air pressure and according to the manufac- turers it will almost prevent blow outs because of weakened castings.
 They explain this by the fact that the tube has strength of it's own. in fact sufficient strength to bridge over the weak places in the casing. At the auto show, in the Palmer safety cord tube exhibit, there was a casing with eight two-inch holes cut in it's walls. and inside of this was a Palmer safety cord tube pumped to SO pounds pres sure, and there was no bulge or pro truding tube sticking through these holes in the easing, which clearly shows that the tube has strength of it's own to relieve the casing of all the work of holding the air.
