NATIONAL FACTOR.

sf4aisiss. fCtsONAG TAOtOns
One unconsciously throws back his
shoulders and drinks In the pure, clear
mountain air. This feature alone has
contributed toward making Denver the
home Of the Gates Rubber company,
and yearly thousands of tourists stop
here to enjoy the natural advantages
which are an ever-present reality.
Look to the east, and as far as the
eye can see and farther, the plains
stretch out over eastern Colorado ana
on 10 the Mississippi
R Is with reluctance that the visitor
concentrates his attention on the most
important part of the factory equip
ment.
Mr.. Charles C. Gates, president of
the Gates Rubber company, remarked
that the mile-high speedway. simple as
it is, has been material factor in the
perfection of the Gates half sole tire
to its present high standard of dura-
bility.
This is true, because the Gates half
sole tires undergo all of the wear and
tear of actual road conditions, from the
level coment roadway Of the city to the
Of the mountains. No, leniency is shown
and the exacting conditions of the test
adequately demonstrate the wearing
qualities of the half sole tire.
The machine itself Is comparatively
simple, consisting of a long arm, re-
volving in a huge circle on the end OF
which is attached the half soled tire.
A weight equivalent to that Of heav-
lily loaded automobile is suspended
over the tire in such way that the
tire itself carries the load.
HALF MILE TRACK.
The track on which this tire travels
is one half mile long, and it's construc-
ton reminds the visitor of "sky line
boulevard" With it's ups and downs
and the attendant thrills which char
acteriZe ride over this type of road :
way
A stretch of cement trackway gives
the tire momentum, and when it has
reached a speed of approximately 35
miles an hour, it strikes sandy
stretch, which causes it to jump and
skid From here it travels over an
imitation brick roadway, in which
some of the. bricks are missing, and
then it plunges into water and mud.
Then up an incline representing a
rough mountain road, it comes to 40
degree slope, where it is necessary to
jam on the brakes. Thus the tire
continues it's travels all day and every
day until it has given it's maximum of
mileage.

to observe the wearing effects on the
tire. No phase of the wearing process
is overlooked, and whenever a defect
is discovered, although it may appear
to be of the minutest importance, steps
are taken to effect correction.-Salt
