"El Paso tire buyers should realize
that they are getting the best tire

Tire Economy Forced
BIZ Var, Continues In
Force Throughout u. S

Motoring economy Is one Of the
benefits America inherited from the
late world war. according to Capt. E
r Means, local dealer for the Gates
Half-Sole Tire.
And because tires are one Of the
costly necessities Of motoring" added
Mr.. Means. sit is to his wheels that
the motorist first turns for saving
in his mileage bills
Tire economy was almost forced
on America by government regula-
tions during the war. When the
United States entered the conflict the
output Of tires was limited TO GER
tain sizes and production was cur
tai ed This was done to conserve
man-pOwer nd ocean shipping space,
and TO help elimi ate freight conges-
ton in this country.
AT first motorists were inclined 70
kick on ha' ing tire economy thrust
upon them. just as some persons OBJ
iected TO the limitations placed on
the amount Of sugar ] their morning
coffee or afterloO7 tea But nov that
the war IS over the average autOmO-
bile owner is adopting thrift by
choice. He doesn't need any rrgtng
from the government or from tndivi-
duals.

ognized in War time as an economic

AMERICAN TIRE
DID ITS PART
French and English Bid
Higher Than Cost for
Used American Tires.

That the automobile trade as sin
gle industry did more than its bit to
win the war is the opinion Of D. o.
Snodgrass, manager of the Snodgrass
Racine Tire company.
THE way American cars held up
was distinctly noticeable" states
Lieut.. snodgrass. so impressed were
the French and English with the serv-
ice given by American cars that the
other day when Uncle Sam held an
auction in France the French and
English bid in many cars at prices
greater than the cost OF the cars sold
They also bought thousands Of tires
that had been used for prices above
those for which the tires may be Sc
cured new here in the United States
But tire improvement has kept
right on, even after termination OF
the war There is much competition
in the tire line and continual added
improvements For instance the Ra-
cine company has added a system OF
extra tests that enables them to give
a greater guarantee on Racine tires.
That makes others hump and so on
until at present it is possible for the
tire user to get greater value than
ever for his money il he uses good
judgment in selection. The improve
ments made in tires have outweighed
the price"

.SEARGHLIGHT ON
MOBILITY TEST
New Military Invention
Taken Over All Kinds of
Roads in Test.

The recently completed 5000 mile
Journey Of the three ton searchlight
equipment from Lynn, Mass, to Carl
strom field, Florida. and return, is a
remarkable new record for motor
transportation.
Mounted on a Cadillac chassis. the
geat searchlight was carried over
every possible form OF trail and road
way. Streams and swamps which
seemed impossible were either forded
or bridged. The overall height Of the
unit, II feet. made the clearance a
matter Of inches only. where low
bridges were encountered.
The weight Of car and equipment
5000 pounds. represented a ton and a
half overload, which the Cadillac
chassis was not designed to carry.
No signs Of weakness developed in the
chassis, and upon its return to Lynn
Mass, it was disassembled under the
eyes Of General Electric and Cadillac
mechanical men and each part was
carefully inspected.
The engine also was found in first
class condition at the end Of the long
trip.
The searchlight itself was in work
ing order throughout the journey. and
after its arrival at Carlstrom field Il
was Immediately available for every
military purpose The searchIght
was developed by the General Electric
company.

With the Moline niversal-the
original two-wheel tractoT-OHs Nan
can farm more land than was ever
before possible, because
One Nan has power at his COM
mand equal to SIX horses capable OF
doing the work OF nine horses, due
to its greater speed and endurance.
One Ian operates the Moline-Uni-.
versal from the seat of the imple-
ment TO which It IS attached, where
he must sit IN order to do good work.
One NGH can start IN the spring
and 90 from one operation TO an
9th blowing, narrowing, planting,
cult lting, sowing, harvesting grain
or corn, spreading manure, filling the
silo, cutting wood, etc, doing all
farm work from one years end to
another, independently of horses or
hired help.
All these one-man operations are
possible with the Moline-URiversal
because It IS mounted on two wheels.
Il attaches direct to the implement,
making one compact unit-the trac-
tor the front wheels and the imple-
ment the rear wheels. One man con-
trols the entire outfit from the seat
Of the implement. There has been
good reason in the past for putting a
seat on implements, for It IS from
this point that the work must be
observed and that adjustments must
be made.

Being close coupled to the imple-

Flowing with two-bottoms, the
Moline-Universal Tractor does as

are often alluded to as the most costly
