FABRIC TIRES GROWING
IN FAVOR OF THE PUBLIC

The advent of cord construction in
automobile tires has made possible
the manufacture of tires which give
astounding mileages, yet there are
many automobile owners who have
found so great a degree of satisfaction
in some favorite brand of fabric tire,
that they are loath to change to the
new type.
The United States Tire company re-
ports sales of it's fabric brands that
show these tires are continually gain
ing favor among motorists who want
good tires at moderate initial cost.
President J. Newton Gum of the
company has received this letter from
a New Haven merchant telling why
he remains firm in his allegiance to
the Chain" tread:
L think 20,346 miles up to date is a
remarkable record for three out of a
set of five of your 35x41a chain tread
tires. They are still on my seven pas
senger car in serviceable condition,
and the car is used every day.
THE full set Of five tires was put
on my car the first week in March,
1915. The first of the set went out of
commission April ., 1918, after run
ming 16103 miles. The second blew out
beyond repair the month following, but
the remaining three have been run
ming ever since. / have had few pune
lures or blow -outs, owing to the elasti-
city and durability of the tires"

THRILLS OF MOTORING.
II am sure everyone has had spring
fever and knows how the first warm
days call one into the open. Those are
the days when motoring has its big
gest thrill and those are too often the
days when the motorist Is buying his
car and arranging for a delivery at
later date. If motorists would only
buy a little earlier and be ready for
the first bursts of sunshine and
warmth, they would get real pleasure
from their cars.
This year / believe. due to the
mild winter, more motorists are going
to enjoy the first spring days than
ever before because they have pur-
chased early and generally it is the
present days that do this to the mo-
torist's loss of pleasure"

ROAD TESTS FOR
FRANKLIN CARS

Years ago an automobile manufac-
turer who did not subject each car to
a strenuous road test before its ship
ment was permitted was considered
|neslectful With the advent of guam
tity production, however, in most in
stances road testing was abandoned
by the makers and it was left to the
dealer to try the car out. But with
the Franklin Automobile company, ac-
cording to G. A. Boyer, vice president
of the John +. McLain company,
Franklin distributors, road test has not
become lost art. Before leaving the
factory each Franklin car is driven at
least 100 miles by an expert mechanic
despite weather conditions. Thirty ex-
pert testers are employed for this
work alone
Service from motor cars has become
their basis of. value, and the methods
of manufacturers have come in for
considerable attention lately. In man
ufacturing circles everywhere the
Franklin company is priminently men
toned for its system of scientific man
agement. In the factory organization
is included a corps of process engin-
GERS, whose duties include the develop
ment of improved manufacturing
methods having especial bearing on
the maintenance of high standard

ycrsed in machine toll practice of all
kinds
Working hand in hand with these
specialists is the plant engineer, whose
duties are entirely separate from the

Late Purchasers Lose by Not
Being in Position to Take
First Advantage of Spring
Riding.
MOTOR SHOWS TOO LATE
Held as Soon as Possible After
First of Year They Would
Place Public in Position to
Buy Sooner.

Whether the fact that the motor car
shows were held a little later this
year than in former seasons played
any part in making them the biggest
in point of actual sales in the history
of the industry is causing some dis
cussion among motor car men these
days.
In the opinion of q Boise dealer the
sales stimulus was not due so much
to the time of the exhibits as to the
general business situation in the coun-
try coupled with the mild weather
which the east and middle west es-
pecally have enjoyed.
FAVORS EARLIER SHOWS.
Personally l would like to see the
dates of the motor car shows return
another year to their former times
he says. Il do not believe that the
difference in sales shown this year
was dependent upon change of dates
and ! do feel that both dealer and
patron gain big advantage by hav-
ing the shows as soon after the first of
January as possible. because of the
time that is given to look over the new
models and the general features of
various motor cars before the real
spring selling season opens up.

irregularity, due TO reports that the
various departments of the govern

The stock market situation. how
ever, has become very peTplexing. 1t
is time for the public to be very
careful where 1t places its money
and what II buys. The absurdity OF
a contest at Washington between two
branches OF the government will force
quick settlement of the dispute over
steel prices.
The prices will naturally be lowered
and that will reduce the earnings OF
the companies, but will increase the
possibilities of revival of business
