CARE AND REPAIR
OF AUTO TIRES
Firestone Expert Gives Sim
pie Practical Suggestions
on Keeping Down Cost


The car owner of to-day is fast
coming to the realization that the
mileage he gets from his tires de-
pends upon the treatment they are
given. Mileage is built into tires at
the factory by scientific methods.
in-built mileage out of the equip
ment by the proper care and use OF
1t.
The motorist ordinarily places SO
much confidence in tire equipment,
probably because of it's rapid de-
velopment and wonderful perform
ances, that 1t does not receive the
inspection and attention considered
necessary for the car. Hence the
loss to the average car owner of
thirty cents on every dollar spent for
tires, and the opportunity for these
articles, which are designed to en-
able every car owner, who reads
them, to save his share of the Sl05,-
OOO,00 wasted on tires each year.
1t has been aptly said that the
pneumatic tire is of the most para
doxical construction in the entire
field of automobile engineering. 1t
must be very resilient yet withstand
WI lily VI pldIS.
Two tender substances, rubber and
cotton fabric must be so blended and
built up that they will resist the air
pressure within, the weight of the
automobile and its load without, the
thrust of the motor, the transverse
strains on turns and the blows of
thousands of obstacles. And upon
the successful construction of the
tire has depended the entire success
of the automobile.
While the selection of the right
type and size, correct application and
proper treatment of tires are all
necessary TO obtain the best results,
the simple matter of initiation is
probably the most important point
in the care and use of equipment, as
its abuse is the principal cause of
tire wastage.
Proper Initiation Means Mileage
The Judicious use of air will go q
long way toward giving the tire user
the maximum mileage. Because the
resiliency and long-wearing qualities
OF tire depend almost as much
upon proper initiation as they do
upon the rubber and fabric. Too
much air will cause excessive vibra-
ton, traction slippage and loss Of
power; too little will bring on excess
friction between various parts of the
tire and cause them to break up.
There Is a very definite relation
between the air pressure within the
tires and the load on them. The
heavier weight or reduced air pres
sure causes more DETECTION of the
tires, giving wider tread on the
ground and increases the action on
the sidewalks. This adds to the COM
fort of the ride as more of the road
vibration is absorbed by the tires.

will buy, and appreciate after the
purchase, and Ii is Collins cult that
II the salesman thoroughly under
stands the engineer he will be just
that much more efficient and sue
cessful as salesman. He seeks al
ways to maintain the utmost har-
mony and good feeling between the
several units of his organization so
that there may always be the maxi
mum of team WORT. Men who know
him we'll say that r. II. Collins is
the easiest man to work for in the
country. His enthusiasm for his
work. and for any good result ac-
| complished by his subordinates is so
intense and SO contagious that his
men strive constantly for greater
achievements, both for the pleasure
of achieving. and for the pleasure, as
| one of them expressed 1t recently, OF
! hearing r. H. say fine and dandy"
The versatility OF the new head of
the Cadillac company finds it's best
expression in his dealings with the
! various types of men with whom his
business brings him in contact.
He can sit on rail fence and talk
| politics, stock raising or intensive
/ farming with the ruralist; he can
discuss huge business affairs with the
| financiers; he can CLOSE an automo-
| bile sale himself and can plan world
wide distribution; or he can go into
the factory and grapple successfully
with production problems.
Those who know Mr.. Collins have
expressed the opinion that it would
not be possible to select a man bet
ter qualified to carry out the we'll
known Cadillac policies and to ex-
tend the Company's field of tn'
| fluence.

possessed exactly the right mental
attitude necessary to continue and
carry forward the great Cadillac
ideals and traditions.
And those who know Mr.. Collins
feel as does Mr.. Durant that Cadillac
traditions and policies will be safe
in his hands He believes in fine
workmanship with the utmost fervor
and has long expressed the convic-
ton that the Cadillac exemplified his
own ideas as to what q product of
this kind should be.
Mr.. Collins, like all men who
achieve a big success in life, has an
almost uncanny faculty OF surround
ing himself with good lieutenants.
He seems to have a success "jinx''
as is evidenced by the fact that
literally dozens of men who were
| fortunate enough to become asso-
ciated with him have acquired
wealth as a result of that associa-
ton. When he went to the Buick
Company as General Sales Manager
he made 1t his first duty to build
up selling organization that would
| extend to all parts of the country
| and to-day many of the men who
i were included in that organization
who worked under the direction and
| with the cooperation of Mr.. Collins
are wealthy. Int
cardinal tenet in his merchandising
code is that the dealers who sell his
product must always be satisfied, and
! be more successful each year thar
| they were the year before, If tho
business is to be a real success. He
contends that If the dealers are
| prosperous, the parent business II
bound to oe prosperous.

story of the manufacturing and
merchandising genius to whom w. c.
purant has entrusted the destinies
of the Cadillac.
Mr.. Collins life history is the old
familiar story of the poor boy start
Ing out with nothing and rising step
by step to the top-most rung in the
ladder of success. His methods were
never spectacular, but they were re-
lentlessiy certain. Rigid honesty,
complete knowledge of his product,
and boundless enthusiasm for his
work constitute the three cardinal
principles upon which his great sue
cess has been built.
The new head of the Cadillac COM
pany began his business career with
the John Deere Implement and Ve-
hicle Company, of Moline, illinois,
with whom he continued twenty
years. During most of that time he
sold the Deere Companys products
to dealers, and so successful were
his efforts that he rose to the posi-
ton of Western manager for the
company, with headquarters at Kan
sas City. From that position he
went to the Buick Motor Company
as manager .of the Kansas City
branch and subsequently to Flint as
the company's general sales man-

until last year when he was made as
sistant TO President Durant of the
General Motors Company.
1t was while he was engaged in
selling the Deere Company's pro-
duct that Mr.. CoIHns acquired his
vast and intimate knowledge OF the
markets which later were to absorb
the output of motorcar manufac-
turers ana his equally clear under
standing of the men who were des-
tinued to become motorcar dealers
For years he had met these men ir
their own stores and homes. He
spoke their language, lived theil
lives, and knew and sympathize6
with their aspirations. He early ac.
| quired his steadfast faith in the
homely old principle that in manu-.
featuring and selling goods, as ir
everything else, honesty is the bes
policy.
His belief in quality product:

back and forth-it becomes hot and
finally breaks.
In a tire the heat from the in
creased action of the sidewalks of
under inflated tires softens the rub
ber cement or adhesiveness between
the fabric layers and a certain de-
gree of devulcanization takes place.
AS a result, when the tire strikes a
particularly hard bump, a loud cx-
plosion rends the air and it is time
to put on new casing.
Flat Tires Demand Attention
A soft or flat tire on a front
wheel can always be noticed by the
difficulty in steering the car in a
straight course; the steering wheel
naturally faVors the flat or soft tire.
If on a rear wheel, pounding or
humping will be noticeable.
Demountable and quick detachable
rims make 1t possible to change tires
very quickly but even if not so
equipped, it is wise to stop and give
the tires attention when needed.
fabric inside and inner tube usually
makes 1t difficult to execute practical
repairs. A rear tire ridden deflated
very far may result in damage to
the differential of the car.
Expansion caused by hot weather
or the sun is negligible and will not
materially affect the tire, as the air
pressure within is not increased TO
any appreciable degree. New tires
stretch slightly when first used and
inner tubes are slightly permeable to
nitrogen so that occasional initiation
is advisable. Deteriorating effects
of stale air can be avoided by filling
the tires with fresh supply at least
two or three times a year.
While there can be no infleXible
tables for initiation of tires as style
of construction, power, speed, road
conditions, driving and weight will
play an important part in the strains
upon tires, under ordinary circun-
stances the tires on the front wheels
Should be inflated between Is to is
pounds per inch of tire section and
rear tires from Is to 20 pounds.
Don't make the mistake of guess
ing at the initiation from appear
ances or striking the tires with a
hammer, but use a pressure gauge,
at least once a week. Another in
flation warning: don't fill the tires
with the exhaust from the engine as
oil and certain gases are destructive
to rubber. The best way to initiate
is to pump up the tires hard and
then reduce the pressure until they
do not cause excessive vibration, then
record the pressure and see that 1t is
maintained thereafter.
The next article in this series will
be on the selection of tires and an
explanation of the various types. 1t
will tell you the proper size for your
car and explain the different kinds.

BriscOe Ploughs Through
Mud With Apparent Ease

That the Brisco "24" can get there
and back under any conditions, as
well as any car in the business. is the
opinion of C. V. Winsett, leading ply
sician and surgeon of Prophetstown,
ILL.,, writing under recent date to the
dealer from whom he bought the car.
DR.. Winsett says in part
Just a few words of praise for the
Briscoe "24" 1 feel that you have it

The bottom fell out of the roads
around here several days ago. Few

phone call to come 6h miles south

AS I could not get a team from either

Several people watched me start and

"If anyone asks you what the Bris-
coe can do in the mud. just refer
them to me. I hope that I never have
to put my car to such a test again, but
if the time ever comes when it is nee
essary will tackle it with confidence
