on these is preceded by a general
summing up of the business situa-
ton in America, and especially the
building prospect; which follows:
"It it still one Of the wonders of the
times that the present volume of bust
ness continues so large. Though it is
perfectly obvious that 1t is slackening
in some lines as always during the
two months before harvest when buy-
ing waits upon the outcome of the
crops.
"Some manufacturing lines are re-
ducing the number OF employees because
Of falling off in orders, and others are
out seeking business as they have not
been doing for several years.
"We shall soon be squarely up
against the old proposition that the
domestic demands for replacement and
repair alone, in default of the activities
of construction and development en-
terprise, are not in themselves suf-
ficient to keep fully employed all the

PNEUMATIC TIRES MAKE
GOOD ON TRUCKS

Among weel-informed truck
owners there is no longer any
question as to the" success Of the
pneumatic tire for trucks, either
in the mater of durability or as
an expense saver.
The United States Tire Compa-
ny. which was the first tire
manufacturer to turn out the big
pneumatics for trucks, follows
carefully the records made by

The White Line Transports

ion tires of this sort used on three
of its passenger BUSES. j. A.
Propst. owner of the company,
says that the oldest set of tires
has already made more than
$4,000 miles each and is still
running. Another set is still
running with $4,000 miles to
their credit and the newest set
has turned in $4,000 miles and is
still in good condition.
Pneumatics are especially suit
able for passenger conveyances
as the comfort of passengers
must be considered. The bus
line which operates on pneuma-
tics offers as comfortable a ride
as could be had in a touring car,
an advantage which a bus equip
ped with solids does not possess.
