MORE BAD TUBES
THAN FORMERLY.
Manager Hudson Believes
War Causes More Spe-
ciaIty Auto Work.

Manager W E. Hudson. Of the
Gates Half Sole Tire company. Is Of
the belief that war has caused more
specializing in the auto world, rather
than the education OF car owners TO
repair minor tire troubles. 1t is
natural that every car owner have
some knowledge Of repairing tires"
says Mr.. Hudson. but from the num-
Der OF repairs made by US 1t would
seem that people have been educated
that having experts repair their tires
is the better economy and time saver,
rather than a study Of It themselves.
We vulcanize tubes only. It is not
hard work as compared TO some other
phases. It is. in fact, work that
chauffeurs and owners could do them
selves, IL they had an inclination to
do repair work. Yet instead OF less
work because OF owners doing part
Of Il themselves, we have more bad
tubes in now than ever.
This IS due TO TWO things, I think:
First, that time is made by leaving
repairs to men fitted for the work IN
all respects. Secondly, that there is
additional and harder work now dur
ing the progress Of the war and the
congestion OF freight lines. and more
tires are worn out than before"

LIFE DEPENDS
ON THE OWNER
Service From Tires Largely
Matter of Treatment
by Car Owner.

"One Of the best sorts Of service
that a tire man can give a consumer
is inexpensive and can be given freely
and that is-sound advice" so says d.
C. Booth, manager OF the Quick Tire
Service, Inc, exclusive dealers Of
United States tires and tubes at s2s
Texas street Continuing. Mr.. Booth
says: IF the counsel offered to car
owners IS so often repeated By manu-
facturers and dealers OF tires. It is for
the reason and in the hope that what
one repetition has failed to accom-
plish, subsequent reteIling may
remedy.
For such reasons. Il is frequently
urged upon tire users that no small
part Of the satisfaction and service
they may get out of the tires they
buy depends upon themselves and
their actions. II they take good care
TO see that their tires are properly
inflated, that cuts In the tread are
healed up; that reasonable care is
exercised in driving the car at all
times, and numerous other things;
they will get mileage out OF their
times that they perhaps didn't believe
could be attained Team work be-
tween the owner and his tires viii
bring him more satisfaction and bet
ter road service"

SOUTHERN GETS
MEXICAN ORDER.
Sales Manager Sees Great
Future for Truck Bust
ness in Mexico.

While the sale OF five trucks IN

the placing OF that number Of trucks
by the sounern Motor company has
a much greater significance. The
trucks sold were Of different modelsi
one five ton. one two ton. one one and
one-half ton. one one ton and a sDe-
clal make.
This means subsequent sales for the
Southern. The different types we're
secured for sale purposes by dealers

the efficiency OF each type.
There is a great future for the
truck industry in Mexico as soon as
trade is again opened I'd with the
United States under former interna-
tfonal conditions Of trade states H.
n. Gillespie. sales manager Of the
Southern. Now that mining is pick
ing ID again there IS a greater de-
r1snd for trucks than before the Mex

HEALTHY AUTO
BUSINESS HERE
Demand Is Good and Prices
Reasonable; Car Scarcity
ONLY Drawback.

Certainly there Is no kick to reg
lister on the automobile business in FL
Paso and the territory tributary to
it," stated F. H Mitchell Of the FL
liott-Garrett company, automobile
dealers. Saturday. Everybody knows
that there is a scarcity Of cars and
trucks, but that condition with a
healthy demand for both such as we
have at present, is far preferable 10
plenty Of cars and no demand for
them
Considering the short time a big
consignment Of Studebakers last US
in these war times. 1t is remarkable
that the prices remain so reasonable,
a phase that often does not exist at
times Of great demand Considering
all the circumstances. the working
conditions, increased prices Of ma
terial and like contributing phases
the wonder is that the prices OF autos
are as low as they are
Likewise our truck business IS
holding up. For Instance down about
Maria our Indiana trucks sold there
have been running on the Marta-Shaf-
ter-Presidio road As freignters they
are making good in every instance
with the result that we have constant
demand for more
Our repair department Is doing
we'll In fact there is no branch Of
the trade but what is holding up well.
This is the more remarkable under
war conditions"
Mr.. Mitchell stated that while the
EIlfott-Garrett company has almost
completely sold out the big shipment
Of Studebakers received a couple OF
weeks ago. that ordere are in Tor
more which are due within a few
days so that all customers may be &C

Byars Loaded For Bear;
Believes Cash Basis Is
Benefit To Customers

when It comes TO being armed with
good used cars Of about the size that
are now most in demand, 1 am loaded
for bear" said J. c. Byars,. manager
Of Byars & Co., Saturday morning. Mr.
Byars has on hand 80 good cars. Just
how I was lucky enought to get hold
OF that many when. there is such a
scarcity Is matter I can't attempt to
explain I can only say that / am
ready for the rush"
Mr.. Byars. who practically operated
on a cash basis for several months,
believes that the greatest benefit OF
such q system is to the customer him
self. IN times Of war IL seems to be
a real help to conservation" states
Mr.. Byars. 1T is well known that a
customer will buy more carefully
" hen he pays cash. Hence he is being
made careful by the cash system"
Mr.. Byars reports a steady demand
for used parts with which he is well
supplied.
