ALTO OWNERS JOIN ARMY OF Ma
TI0NAL CONSERVATIONISTS

A practical method OF reducing
tire expense has been discovered.
The American motorist has been
called careless, wasteful, extrayagant
and other opprobrious terms, because
of his apparent recklessness in throw
ing away tires before they are more
than half worn.
But the success of the Gates Half
Sole Tire, which has been marked all
over the country, has demonstrated
that when the motorist can get full
service from his tires under condi-
tions which give him full confidence
that they will not go back on him in
an emergency, he is eager to econ
omize.
For over two years-since the
Gates Half-Sole Tire was first put
on the market-the International
Rubber Company, which manufac-
lures these tires at Denver, Colorado,
has been constantly adding to its
plant.
The new factories were completed
in the fall, bringing production up
to 1000 Gates Half-Sole Tires a day,
and workmen are now erecting new
four-story addition which will triple
the present capacity. This new fac
tory will be completed for the season
of 1918.
Gates Half-Sole Tires appeal
alike to the millionaire and the Ford
owner" says Mr.. F. +, Roberts of
the Riverside Garage, Medford, who
has introduced the product to motor
lists in that city
They meet the present national
necessity for economy; aud both tire
and business men whose
opinions carry weight have expressed
he view that within a brief period
Gates Half-Sole Tires will be as much
. part of standard tire equipment as
he casing and tube themselves. "
