The early races in California, the
Sheepshead Bay meet on May 10, the
Decoration Day race at Indianapolis

were heard from. Johnny Aitken had
only one short race to his credit.
The company then concluded that
the time was ripe for entrance into the

at Tacoma on August marked their
inaugural on the race track. The win

won at a speed of 1913 miles an hour,
but ii was still to be demonstrated
that they We're equal to the greater
speeds developed at Sheepshead Bay,

The necessary proof was furnished
by Aitken in his great victory at the
new Cincinnati Speedway on Labor
Day. He motored the 300 miles at
the rate of 97.06 miles an hour.

of Aitken repeated by winning the As

A. 3. Smith and G. H. Reuben of
the local Kisselkar Auto company,
agents for the KisselKar and bort
machines, are going to exert every
efforts to give their patrons the very
best at the auto show. Time, thought
and money will be of no consequence
to these energetic and hustling deal
ers in order that their booth will be
one of the best at the show.
To this end. Messers. Smith and
Reuben are now attending the big
auto show at San Francisco. where
they hope to secure an abundance or
ideas and incidently assurances from
the kisselKar representative that the
same display being used at the San
Francisco show can be secured for
Phoenix.
The local KisselKar agency has
several cars on display at the sales
rooms at the present time, but be-

Messers. Smith and Reuben are de-
sirous of securing the factory dis

that all cars now on hand win be
sold before the show opens and that
new cars cannot be secured before
that time.
The popular dealers left early last
week for San Francisco and will not
return until the middle of the present
week. During their absence. they

even when they made their debut into
racing society many looked upon them
as rank pretendcrs. Nobody then be-
lieved that their first year in racing
would be marked by anv notable sue
cess.
But that was several months ago.
The year is over; championships have
been lost and won; records have been
shattered; time and again the best
pilots in the country have staked their
fortune on them and race after race
has been wen on these tires which six
months ago were unknown in the rae
ing world. No other tire ever sprung
into prominence so swiftly.
Examining the years records in de-
tail only emphasizes the quality of the
accomplishment. The high class of
drivers who chose these tires, the i'm
portance of the races they won, and the
terrific speeds sustained, are all indica-
tons that these tires had everything
and were ready to meet all corners,
with no quarter asked.
Men like Aitken, Rickenbecker, De
