AUTOMOB|L|STS ARE INDEBTED
 ID THOMPSON

You. and every man who owns an automobile. owe a debt of gratitude to this man. Yet, the chances are, not one man in million ever heard of him--and there is not a single picture of him in existence, according to q communication received by Manager c. A. Fish, of the Central Auto Sup ply company, Miller tire agents.
 This forgotten benefactor was R. w Thompson-a Scotchman who is gwen credit for having conceived the idea of the pneumatic tire over seventy years ago.
 Without the pneumatic tire the plea sure car of today is impossible Thomp- son developed the idea of a leathr cover bolted to the wooden rim of the wheel. and within this rough contriv- ance, he inserted a rubber inner tube
 Tn modern automobile tires cotton fabric and rubber take the place of leather. And all the skill of the tire builder is lavished on the task of making of these materials unit that will stand the constant pounding and wear of daily use
 Every tire must be vulcanized- which in affect is a curing or cooking process. Too often the life of the cot ton and rubber is burned out in the vulcanizing pits That's why so many tires fall down in service
 All the natural wax and oil contained in the raw cotton are retained by the exclusive Miller method of building and vulcanizing.
 They're brimful of mile muscle these Miller geared to the-road tires. That's why they deliver such big mile age. That's why we recommend and sell them.

 SALES BREAK.
 PAST RECORD

On but few occasions in the his tory of the industry have automopIie selling records attracted the attention that has been accorded those of Willys Overland, Inc, during the last two months When, in the early days of July, the company announced that its June retail sales had exceeded those of any other month in the his tory of the organization a murmur of astonishment and surprise was heard from coast to coast according to Man ager H. H. Hotchkiss, of the Overland Arizona company, local Overland dealers.
 Such a record had heretofore been unheard of in times of more or less unsettled business conditions The company however, followed this up with another record breaking report for the first week of July which more than confirmed the June announcement. By this time it became obvious to motor car men the country over that the big Toledo institution was settip" a pace never before heard of under similar circumstances.
 On the first Thursday in August the most striking announcement of all was made when a compilation of the figures covering July retail sales re- Vealed the amazing total of $13,611, ,775, an increase of two and one-half mil lion dollars over the splendid achieve ment of June On top of this the factory officials insist that there is no evidence of a letup even now and that their distributors, proud of the rec ords which they have just made, are going after the business with re- doubled energy.
 How do you do it?" is the question
 
 at the Overland plant just at this time
 John N. Willys, as head of the big organization answers the questions as follows:
 Tt should not be so much a question as to how we make the sales as a ques- tion concerning how We conceived a line of cars which would prove SC. pop ular with the public. Of course, We would not take any credit away from the salesmen who have made those enviable records. TE fact we are con fident that we have one of the strolg- est selling organizations in the inlus tr Nova~thcless the mosc expert salesmen in the world acould not dn what our men have done this yeIr un- le.., Lney hau a product 10 offer which was possessed of unusual merit.
 '"The June and July sales records do net come to us as unexpectedly as ore might imagine. When our rew cpro- prehensive line .f ca"s, ranging from low priced completely equipped ve- hicles to high priced powerful and fashionable cars, was first shown to the dealers at the big convention in December they told us that there would be difficulty n selling them. Their Confidence in the line was so great that they turned in contracts away and al ove our most enthusiastic eXpecta- =

HARMON CARS
 GIVE OWNERS
 B|G MILEAGE

Most Marmon 34 owners report they are averaging from 12 to 16 1-2 miles to the gallon of gasoline under ordin- ary driving conditions" said M. 0. O'Neill, sales manager of O'Neill Auto company, agents for the Marmon 34. This, it is believed, is considerable more mileage than is obtained from cars that may be compared with the Marmon.
 Excellent mileage records are made possible by Marmon scientific con struction. HOO pounds lighter weight motor efficiency and perfect balance In addition to low gasoline consump tion, Marmon owners report that tires on their cars give from two to three thousand extra miles in service.
 Besides broadening the touring range and increasing the convenience of mo- torists, the Marmous34 is a utility car, easy to handle and comfortable to ride in. Its remarkable ease of hand ling has made it very much a favorite among women drivers"

When E. F. Toomas built his first car in the old bicycle shop in Buffalo. Blackwell was there. He so desired to possess one of the hew cars that he placed his order at once and obtaineu one of the very first of the 100 "one- dungers,' which Thomas turned out in 1901. This car he drove until 1903 when he purchased a car of another make and of far more substantial con- struction, for it held together until 1910, when he procured the Maxwell
 The old Maxwell was driven 60,000 miles. It has covered every inch of road and much plain, roadless land scape' in Arizona, Nevada, Oregon and California. It has been used time and again for camera stand in BlackwelPs motion picture work.
 It has often appeared in scenes. After the car had been driven 50,000 miles its owner drove it from Reno, Nevada, to San Diego, and made no repairs during the entire journey.
 But all things made by the hand of man must come to an end. The staunch road conquerer has seen its day.
 As a farewell trip Blackwell drove week. and then bade it goodbye, gave

''The ever increasing responsiveness of their business has most conclusive ly brought to the large farmer and stockman the inevitability of auto truck usage" says w. L. Kissel of the KisselKar. Also to the small farm CT, the advisability of motor truck equipment has arrived. according to information received by Manager George Reuben of the Kissel Auto company.
 Tn the past and almost up to the present, the small farmer was popu- larly supposed to be poor. Such is de- cidedly not the case now; nor has his education been neglected or his keen business insight been undeveloed

The Maxwell owned by Edgar E. when Columbus discovered America; when the Mayflower drew up to Ply mouth Bay and the pretty Pilgrim maidens set foot on Plymouth Rock this car was nearby, according to the Babbitt- Poison company, local Max well dealers.
 It has been on the scene while half hundred battles ragged. It has edged up close to ambushed redskins.
 From tail lights to top buckles it has been shaken by giant explosions of the present War-for this car has been in the movies

injured. The other layers soon fol- lowed suit and the blowout resulted
 Tt ;S common practice for car own CTS to bump front wheels against the curb stone when parking their cars especially if the brakes do not hold properly. Many drivers make no pre- tense of slowing up for street car tracks or bridge approaches. There is much fraterniZing with ruts and stones in the road All of these make for fabric breaks which rob the tire of many miles that were built into it at the factory. With these points in mind it should be easier for drivers to obviate the losses that come from breaks in the tire fabric

tions Although surprising. it is true that we had to reduce some of the contracts in order to apportion the ears in the most equitable way.
 Now several months have elapsed since we started shipping the new line out to the dealers. The latter have had plenty of time to acquaint the public with what We consider the nest comprehensive line of automobiles ever turned out by one manufacturing com- pany and for that reason the Cars are just coming into their own. They haze found their place in the sur. as the war reporter would say, and the pub lie is buying them up just as fasl as We can fill the orders, if not faster

That is why our June and July retail sales surpassed those of any other months in our

When motor cars were rare, tire mileage costs made little difference But now, when men are buying cars as they would a suit of clothes or a pair of shoes-when our annual car bill is more than d billion dollars, and for tires about one third of a billion tire economy is matter of great con- cern.
 About 4,O0O000,O0O cars are now reg istered in this country, wearing 16,00U, 600 tires. Adding only one mile for each tire, to the enormous mileage piled up each day by these cars, would have a handsome fortune for the mo- torists of the country.
 MT. D. W. Sanford, branch manager of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber com pany, in commenting on the various kinds of abuse innocently inflicted upon motor tires, preventing them from attaining their allotted three score and ten, declares that much of thls mileage is lost through the fabric breaks caused by hitting stones inn bedded in the road.
 50 many people are now buying cars, who know comparatively little about cars or tires, that it is not sur priSing that mercilesS abuse is heaped upon them,' he says. Hardly one motorist in a hundred appreciates the terrific strain placed on tires when travelling at high speed over ordinary roads. Your tires may withstand a shock equal to ten tons weight while running at a speed of twenty-five miles an hour over country roads, and a lit tie later you have blowout while run ming over a perfectly smooth street. Something had happened. What was it!
 This is what happened. The ter rife impact of the tire and the stone imbedded in the road did not visibly affect the exterior of the tire. Had you looked it over you could not have found a mark But on the inside of the tire break in the tire fabric was started when the blow strained it be- yond it's limit of stretching strength. Perhaps only one layer of fabric was
