The performance by Cochran In his

Buying by the Name

Nowadays the prospective buyer Of

lot OF salesman's talk about diferens
tlals, torque rods, thermo-syphon, etc.
Rather he is much more interested IN
learning of the stability Of the maker
and the past performance of the carr
says William c. Poertner, local dis
tributer for National and Scrippss
Booth cars
The average business man is not
intimately acquainted with automobile
talk, and naturally resents any over
his-head type of conversation from the
average salesman. 1t is undoubtedly
better for the industry that buyers
are beginning to study the makers as
we'll as the make. They are beginning
to appreciate that information as to
d record of reliable dealings and
satisfied customers IS Of more in
portancc than a drawn-out explanation
OF five bearing crankshafts or splash
lubrication.
Buyers are satisfied TO accept the
name of certain makes OF watches,
pianos and clothes as proof positive
of the products worth. and to the
same degree they recognize as respon-
slble the name Of the reliable motor

Like the Body Is
The Automobile Tire
1t Has Bones and Skin, but 1t
Needs Only Air to Keep 1t
i'm Good Health

That there is close analogy be-
tween an automobile tire and the hu-
man body is the statement of one of
the technical experts on the staff of
the United States Tire Company The
carcass of tire may be compared to
the bones the tread and side walls
to the skin, while imitation pressure
is to tire what food is to the body.
When you cut yourself you are care
full to wash out the injury and to pro-
tect it from infection until it heals
A cut in tire should be just as care
fully looked after because neglect will
be followed by "infection" in the form
of sand blisters, leading to separation
and finally "death" in the form of a
blowout.
Breaks in the carcass of tire re-
quire the same attention as a broken
bone. The breaks must be repaired
and "splints," in the form of sec
tional vulcanizcd inset, applied in or
der to reinforce the broken part.
If. YOU did not continually furnish
Your body with food to replace that
used up by the digestive processes you
would soon die. A tire requires a
certain imitation pressure to enable it
to carry its load. "Digcstion," in the
form of a leaky valve, diisus .on through
the inner tube, etc, slowly uses up
this pressure. and if it is not continual
~ replaced the tire soon breaks along
the fleXing lines and "dies" through
a blowout

Acetylene Used as
Motor Fuel bv Swiss

In Switzerland, where hydro-electric
power for making calcium carbide is
abundant, acetylene is the most prom
lslng substitute for gasolene as a mo-
tor fuel. Its drawbacks include violent
explosiveness when mixed with com
pressed air in the carburetor, and
corrosion or clogging of the motor by
SCOT and acids of combustion. Rene
dies are dilution of the acetvlene and
an extra air supply to insure burning
all carbon. II. Grossmann reports that
the explosion of even the diluted fresh
ly generated acetylene is too sudden,
but that acetylene from solution IN
acetone carried under pressure in steel
cylinders is safer, and is ready for the
instant starting Of the motor until the
cylinder is practically emptied The
cylinders, however, are not only heavy
and expensive, but are not generally
obtainable. A large one for motor
car gave a run Of seventy-five miles
from one charging Diluents included
alcohol, gasolene, light tar oils. naph-
thalene, water, etc, and the use OF at
least 20 to D per cent was necessarv
Good results were given by 20 per cent
OF an equal mixture Of light tar oil and
alcohol. A motor boat was run six or
eight hours daily for one month, and
remained in good condition. although
the acetylene was from a common gen
orator with no special puritication.-

Women Become Adept
In Driving Motor Cars

Women 40 longer look askance at the
seat behind the wheel of an automobile.
Their reluctance to drive a gasolene
car IN the past few years has seen a
reversal of form, with the result that
to-day women are as deft in the manip-
ulation of the clutch pedal the accel
orator and the shifting lever as are
men.
This evolution is due to the fore
sight Of the manufacturer of gasolene
automobiles in his insistance upon
slmplltied construction, with particular
reference to the driving mechanism of
the car
There is no mystery connected with
the driving operation of the Nash Six.
Women long since have discovered that
20 drive this car is very simple proc
ess in which physical effort is practi
cally negligible
The shifting lever of the Nash Six
is of the bail snd socket type, and it's
operation requires little effort; the
clutch pedal is thrust into position with
the mere push of the foot, and the foot
brake pedal responds to light pressure.

Now that the practicablity of the

interesting to note some of the ele-
ments that have contributed to the de-
velopment Of this type of tire and its
adaptation to the various requirements
OF motor truck transportation. Few in

Fully ten years ago." says Harry
S. Quine, of the GOODYEAR Tire and
Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio. I'VE
saw and insisted that there would be
a great field for the pneumatic truck
tire. None had been made then.
trucks were then in decidedly ex-
perlmental stage, compared with to-
days development. And we were gen
orally laughed at and derided for pre-
dieting great future for the motor
truck and pneumatic truck tires.
"Goodyear has been a pioneer in de-
veloping, making and perfecting pneu-
matte tires for motor trucks, and has
evolved tire which has long since
passed out of the experimental stage.
The company is not asking truck
makers, agents or users to do any ex-
perimenting.
1T was about ten years ago that we
bought number of trucks for use
about our factory. These were all
equipped with solid tires and were de-
cidedly primitive in their construction.
The factory was put to work making a
pneumatic tire that would better pro-
tect the motor and save repair bills.
with the tires that were developed
the trucks soon were capable of per
forming more work, because with the
pneumatic tires under them the drivers
found 1T unnecessary to slow down to
almost stopping, as they had previous
ly done OH solids, for bumps and OBJ
structions on the street. Speeds were
higher and more miles covered in q
day.
after careful review of the situa-
tion it was found that fabric tires
would never do for motor trucks. So
the cord type of tire came to be per
fected for these freighters. The com
pany was criticised and derided, but it
kept on, had faith, made better and
better tires and sold them
Through all this period of develop
ment sufficient time was take to attain
perfection at every step and not until
a reasonable degree of perfection had
been accomplished were these tires
offered to the motor truck using public.
And the company is still busily en-
gagged in extensive research work in an
attempt to make them even better"

Nash Distributors
Hold Annual Meeting

Distributors and sub distributors

closed the three-day meeting announce
ment was made of the promotion Of
Walter W. Smith to assistant sales

distributors presented to Mr.. Smith
a watch as testimonial of their friend

vanCement.
Mr.. Smith got his early training in
the automobile business with the old
Speedwell Motor Car Company, of Day
ION. Later he became identified with
the sales organization Of the Thomas
B. Jetfery Company
The convention began on Monday and
had it's formal ending with the dinner
at the Kenosha Country Club Wednes-
day night. Mr. Nash in a talk to the
distributors, declared that courteous
and efficient service" to the car owner
is the only safe foundation upon which
to erect a retail business
Careful attention to details Of your
business is what counts,' said Mr..
Nash. After all, it is the little things
in life that are important. There is no
room in the Nash organization for a
distributor or a dealer who cannot see
that it is to his advantage to cour-
teously serve owners of Nash products
The owner is entitled to wholehearted
cooperation on the part of the dealer.

New-York tribune., 1919-08-17

Comparison of the cost Of shipping
by motor truck and by rail, as made by
the Fisk Rubber Company, of Chicopee
Falls, Mass, shows that it is cheaper
to make shipments from the factory
to New York and Boston by motor
truck than by railroad express or
freight.
The analysis made by the company's
road transportation department is
based on the operation of fifteen motor
trucks, including trucks of y, 2, 3 and
5-ton capacity. No trailcrs are oper-
ated with the trucks as yet, but the
company has been considering the use
of trailers as a means of still further
reducing its haulage costs
