Getting Out of q Mud Hole by a
Well-Tricd Method

Since making some simple suCces-
tons week ago for helping the motor
list whose car has been stuck in the
mud the United States Tire Company
has received from different parts of
the country additional suggestions as
to what to do when car is solidly
anchored in the mud.
From motorist who lives in sec
ton where mud roads are common
comes suggestion which its author
guarantees as the best remedy for such
situation short of pair of husky
mules. He states that he has tried the
method on numerous occasions and
that it has never failed to work. He
says:
II always have stored away some
where in my car stack OF old news
papers. They don't take up so much
room but that can always find place
tor them. When strike a mudh ole

the tires begin to grip and the oar

work keep on feeding in the papers
until good traction is gained.

lonely spot lucky is the man who has

Easy TO See
That Great
Season Comes
Requirements and the Nor
mai Demand for New Cars
Found TO Make Wonder.
full Year for Automobiles


General Sales Manager, Haynes AUTO
mobile Company
It does not take much thinking to
recall The days when people lined up,
money in hand to buy their favored
car. This proves that the automobile
was wanted and needed. A great per-
centage of people, it is true, bought
cars at first mostly for social and
pleasure purposes. But the desire was
natural and the evident means of
proving the aggressivenes of the
American buying public. 1t also paved
the way in showing them the unlim-
tied uses to which they could put their
cars 10 increase their wealth, happi-
ness and health.
With such a natural demand for
automobiles Inherently cXempified
there should be no question about the
future Of the automobile industry. The
outlook points to big business ahead.
To-day the industry ranks near the
top of Americas list Of prosperous and
important manufacturing institutions.
It's business princip pies are sound, and
as its mission is one to fill the needs
there is every reason to believe that
the automobile industry will in time
be second to none.
Practically 100000 motor vehicles
were in use in the United States by
The first Of the year This in itself
is q strong indication of the national
economic Importance Of the automobile,
and shows the possibilities that lie
ahead for motor car manufacturers.
Business now is exceptionally good.
The New York and Chicago shows, and
in fact all the automobile shows, were
pronounced successes Record crowds
attended them and a gratifying number
Of sales were made.
According to authentic statistics.
there should have been produced 1000,
600 vehicles during the year 1918. Be-
cause of the war only 100000 vehicles
were manufactured. The used car
market has been virtually bought up.
For more than year used cars have
been selling at premium. Another
thing we must consider is replace
ments. Authorities agree and records
have proved that the average life a
motor car is five years.
With this information before US we
have only to consider the requirements
necessary upon which to base future
prosperity requirements alone mean
more than 100000 vehicles a year to
keep constant tho present number Of
automobiles in use
These are some Of the reasons for
predicting big business ahead for the
automobile industry. The automobile
has simply FASTENED an evolution
whereby it is bound to become an abso-
lutte necessity to our growing nation,
the same as the railroads. telephones
and other utilities have in the past
