BETTER TIRES;
FEWER TIRES
Pneumatic Cord Brought
Longer Life and Lower
Cost Per Mile.

Now that pneumatic cord tires have
made such a big place for themselves
in the automobile world and have
come to be regarded as the best type
Of tire so far developed for automo-
bile use. much interest centers in the
story Of the development OF this type
from its first adoption to vehicular
use TO its present advanced state.
Cord tires have only assumed prom
inence since 1914. although at that
time they were not new having been
made in this country as early as 1904
by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber COM
Dany.
They are so called 10 distinguish
them from the fabric type OF tire
which Up TO that time had been used
universally on automobiles. In a fab
ric the body Of the tire is built up OF
cross woven cotton fabric, or duck, +"
each successive layer Of fabric being
placed at an angle of As degrees in
its relation TO the layer OF fabric
under it. This construction makes for
extreme durability, but in comparison
with a cord tire is lacking somewhat
in resiliency. or liveliness-
Cord tires are not made OF cross
woven fabric They are built Of
strong cords. similar 10 a fishing line
laid side by side, without any cross
weave. The several layers OF cords
are built up on the bias TO furnish
permits easy flexing. or bending Of
the tire as IL follows the surface Of
the street. goes far toward eliminat-
ing friction, and greatly reduces pow
er consumption
The first cord tires were intended
for use on electric vehicles and for
nearly ten years were confined to this
sphere Their advantages, in this
service during this period became so
apparent that tire engineers sensed
their adaptibllity TO gasoline pros
PEELED cars. and after much expert
menting and refining evolved a cord
tire suitable for use on these cars.
In cost per tire they exceed other
types somewhat, as the construction
is more expensive. but the extra mil
cage reduces the cost per mile and
offsets the higher cost II cord tires
did nothing more than permit greater
mileage than the fabric type. their
existence would be amply justified
But as appealing feature as the
increased mileage IS the liveliness Of
the tire-its ability TO absorb the
shocks and prevent them from affect
ing the mechanism OF the car. The
layers OF cords yield readily to the
inequalities OF the road and furnish
the easy riding qualities for which
cord tires have become noted.
The cry OF the public is for better
tires-less tires-fewer tire changes
longer tire iife-lower cost per mile.
The fabric tire made the automobile
possible. but for many years pneu-

being responsible for the high cost Of
motoring-and blamed for most Of the

TRUCKS FILL.
FARMER s NEED
High Prices of Farm Pro
ducts Make Saving of
Fodder Big Item.

Right now farmers are taking more
interest in motor trucks than ever be-
fore and the next few years bids fair
to see a large number of trucks join
the equipment Of farms in all parts Of
the country.
There is a good reason for this"
says e. c. Perry Of the Lone Star
Company. local dealers for GMc
trucks. The farmers have been
awakened TO the fact that a motor
truck will do more than carry produce
to and from the shipping point
Motor trucks viii travel in the
fields. They will gather the hay and
grain and do all the other odd jobs
about the farm in addition to covering
the longer distances to town and rail-
road in quick order and at saving OF
time and money over horses Moreover,
motor trucks do not draw on the re-
sources of the farm for food directly.
During the last year or 50 the
prices for farm products have been
such as TO make a farmer begrudge
the fodder for his live stock. He could
better till the soil for products that
could be sold and buy gasoline than
to feed his team off from his own
land. Many farmers even bought their
hay and grain and thought they were
money ahead by doing it. Meanwhile
they did a little more figuring and
then they saw the light on the motor
truck
"Chiefly. the big reason why a
motorized farm yields more crops and
more profit is because it eliminates
waste. The food stuffs that are dam
aged during hauling by horses because
of the sloWness with which the teams
must travel. alone would feed thou
