TIRE & SUPPLY

Tire Industry May One

The Grand Forks Tire e. Supply

The DeMers avenue repair shop is
one of the best equipped establish
ments of its kind in Grand Forks and
realizes a steadily growing business in
this lin Of work.
Manager Paskie. in speaking of his
tire and repair business. mentioned
some very interesting facts. as fol-
lows:
Very few people realize the mag
nitude of the tire industry: when you
take into consideration that there
are over 200 tire manufacturers it
will give an idea of how this in
dustrX has gradually increased to fill
the demands in the tire line. 1t is
based upon good authority hat in a
very few years the tire business will
exceed the automobile business. While
most of the standard tire manufac-
turers aim to build quality into their
tire. yet the public should be warned
against alluring prices, as it is not
possible to get both low price and
quality in an automobile tire. There
is not an article manufactured to-
day that is put to the same hard test
and abuse.
The automobile tire repair shops
have been gradually coming into ia
vor. and this line of work. the same
as in the manufacture of the tire, re-
quires skill and experienced work.
manship. The greatest evil that the
average tire dealer has to contend
sooner or later usually develops into
what is called a blowout. Many
men have gone into repair shops with
a tire that has blown out, claiming
that it had happened while driving
along a smooth road. While in nine
cases out of ten the cause Of the

These ruptures are seldom noticeable
from the surface of the tread. Posi-
bly, the most common cause for fab

stones; while the curb is not always
sharp enough to cut the soft yielding
tread, it is sufficiently pointed to
break the fabric. or if the tire is un-

dropping into deep holes or hitting

THE RUNNING GEAR.

1t has often been remarked that the
ear owner knows too much
about the motor and that this knowl-
edge tends to make him forget and
neglect the clutch, gear set and thu
of the power transmission system.
Certain it is that universals, brakes,
wheel bearings and many other not
easily accessible parts are generally
forgotten until something goes wrong
with them. The owner does not wait
for a bearing cap to fall off before he
fills h crank case with oil, and SIM
ilarly he should not wait until there
is play in the %universals before he
gives them a supply of grease and
graphite. 1t is difficult to keep the
universals we'll fabricated, even when
the housing is periodically filled. Sim
ilarly there will be no bucking, due
to end play in the propeller shaft as
sembly or clutch. if the parts are
properly fabricated and kept so from
the start. Give a weekly oiling to the
joints of the braking system from
pedal to bands; repack the wheel
bearings four or five times a year,
after flushing out the bearings with
kerosene. Finally. keep your eyes
open for special ~lubricating hints and
try them all, so the transmission sys-
tenn will run just as sweetly after
continued use a. the engine does.

FRANKLIN PLANT
CHANGES BACK TO
PEACE TIME BASIS

Transition Of facilities at the
Franklin plant in Syracuse from
war-production to peace-time motor
car output is going on al full, swing.
Just as tremendous changes had to be
made to adjust machinery and floor
space to. the manufacture of Rolls
Royce and Hispano-Suiza airplane
engines. so has this readjustment
been taken as an opportunity to re-
place methods that were found to be
good before the war but which have
been much improved by the expert
with war work.
The Franklin management is now
working on an. ideal manufacturing
layout after a plan which was studied
considerably in advance and which
minimizes the moving Of stock. makes
supervision a great deal easier and
much closer. and tends especially to-
ward the highest quality of work The
plant is now arranged on the pro-
gressive group plan, by which all
are machined and assembled in their
entirety IN distinct departments. All
inspection and storage Of stock is also
a unit with such departments.
4 special feature of the rearrange-
ment is that the Franklin factory is
now an ideal daylight plant. Those
departments which have been on the
ground floors of several buildings are
being transferred to lighter quarters,
as it is now possible to utilize for the
first time certain plant additions that
have heretofore always been occupied
by war work operations.
An idea of the extent that facilities
are being expended is given in the adj
dition Of $4,000 square feet Of floor
space devoted strictly to improve
ments in painting processes. The
Franklin company has established an
Independent department in which spe-
cial colors are handled.
