The b. r. Goodrich Rubber Co, Of

ooinlmcnl Of Joseph 4. wickersham, Of

Mr.. Wickersham is well known in

The solid tir proposition is a new

who are expcets In ihe applications OF

pl tes rendering - doubt illl a
long felt .wan6le needs OF VIII

ton OF a new 2ll-lon press for apply

step that has been taken in the truck

possible for the Wickersham Truck
Tire Co. not pniY 10 demount, but to
remount a sei, tires within three
hours, single tire In one-half an hour
or a duel tire in less than an hour.
IN speaking 0f5his initial venture in
ihis line, Mir Niekersham says that in
his lnterviews,,Sx truck owners in
Wilmington ne nnds that the chief
complaint has been that trucks are
forced 20 lose,nossibly day at time
when new tires are needed. The power
OF most pressts' will not permit the
forcing Off agld rim and the apply
ing Of the newlshoe at the same time.
The slow and tedious process Of
chiselng of t3e'old rim, or the dan
gorous prOcesss Of burning IL Off with
gcetylene buruer,, requires considerable
time. The press Installed by this com
pany eliminates an this, and guaran-
Toes ,hat it can apply any tire without
damage 60 ihe wheel Furthermore. it
o. cooperating With every truck owner
in Wiimingiop,so that the tires can be
applied at ihef most convenient time,
without sacrificing the truck when It
could be used for proflt to the owner.
Aday and nighl force will be at the
disposal Of the truck owners at all

In speaking OF The Goodrich line, Mr..
Wickersham RNd that he was thor
oughly convinced that.no solid tire on
The market coiid equal the Goodrich

biiily saving ldiG gas Consumption and
case in riding.
Tires have betome So vital a ques-
t0n TO truck G,Sners that it Is worthy
